Kent Karrier
Kent Karrier is a flexible dial-a-ride service. Our providers can collect you from your home and take you to a location, such as a supermarket, town centre or hospital, for a small fee.
We use wheelchair accessible vehicles and our experienced drivers will give you all the help you need.
