I urgently need to borrow a 7 seater as my transport has fallen through last minute.
We are bringing teens from #DirectProvision to an outdoor activity day out.
This Friday 9am – Saturday 4pm Galway
I have full licence, no claims, no penalty pts.
Can anyone please help? pic.twitter.com/ZnsENsayzp

Anyone?

Aoife might post her ad in the Mosney DP centre. The last time I was there, there were a couple of hundred cars, most of which were the Opel Zafira type mini people carrier which might be suitable.
Good plan. Mosney to Galway city is a 6 hour 500km return trip. You’re volunteering, I take it?

can’t see the hundreds of 6 seaters
Seriously is this a real post? I can’t get to work, can I borrow a car? Please?
Shocking. A woman volunteers her time to give some kids a day out. Some people have such a sense of entitlement, ha?
What insurance will cover the car?
Daddy, why is the sky blue?
Very helpful. I’m sure my insurance company would love to know I loaned my car to a stranger to drive some teenagers around for a day. If the twitter poster clarified they had their own insurance it might help find volunteers, no?
Does your insurance policy specifically exclude cover for drivers who take teenagers out for the day?
Yea, it excludes any driver not named on the policy, as most of them tend to.
Most of them tend to? Your evidence for this is?
Your tone reads as rather confrontational, Batty.
You’re clearly highly perceptive, Millie.
Had Pavel suggested that Aoife mention that she had insurance cover in order to garner an offer of help, I’d have thought well of it. Instead, he pushed out the tired old trope “Have you insurance for that?” which triggered my cynicism sensor.
I’m not as stupid as I let on, you know.
Somewhere underneath my Jessica Rabbit exterior is a brain. Thank you for being the one who noticed
Perceptive, intelligent, and modest. Quelle trinité!

Wrong thread, gooseberry!

Here’s a tenner, run along to the cinema Batty.
Ah, save your cash, Bertie. Console yourself with a pint later.
Gonna miss you when you’re gone again.
Sorry Bert. I was hoping the pint might lift your spirits after such a traumatic let-down, not make you all maudlin. :(
Hire one! I think it will be less stress for both parties than borrowing a stranger’s vehicle and paying to be added as a named driver. You can get a nice new one too which is safety-approved and road-worthy (in case others may not be).

Go-Car is great for short-term trips but I don’t think they do 7-seaters. Try gocar.ie.
I only have the McLaren F1 at the moment.
Cutbacks an dat….
I would have thought BS readers would have fallen over themselves to help – thankfully ppl in Galway have stepped up and supported Aoife who could not afford to rent a vehicle without such assistance. Well done to Aoife and the generous ppl who want to help.
Hope you all have a terrific day out !
I’m some internet rando, but I need to borrow a car for charitable cause – when can I come and pick up yours, please?
