Passenger Reviews
Trip to Radiology in Nelson
My trip was easy to organise, and my driver, Peter, was punctual and helpful. The car was comfortable, his driving superb, and I felt secure and at ease.
All the drivers have been amazing people, always smiling, positive, keen to drive.
Hi Marlborough Vehicle Trust,
Gavin and I would like to thank you all at Marlborough Vehicle Trust for the outstanding care and support shown to both of us but especially to Gavin since April 2022.
The trust provided transport to Nelson Dialysis Unit 3 times a week approximately 190 trips. Gavin could probably drive blind folded.
All the drivers have been amazing people, always smiling, positive, keen to drive. Gavin enjoyed all the chats, learning about you all and I know you all know everything about Gavin as well.
This service has been incredible. Special thanks to the vehicle coordinators, Kevin and Ian who used Picton drivers often.
However the continual trips to Nelson has taken a toll on Gavin’s health so we have decided to move to Feilding to be closer to the hospital, it will be less travel time so Gavin can do more things during the day. We have family in Feilding, which is a bonus.
Thanks for everything, we really appreciate it. We would like recognise all the Trust and give a donation. Use it anyway but maybe an afternoon tea for you all.
Merry Christmas to you all.
From a grateful Gavin and Chris.
