Enter your employer code
Companies registered with the Green Commute Initiative will be given a unique employer code which should be entered below.
Checklist - before you make your application:
- Ensure you have a valid quote from a bike shop, valid for 30 days.
You cannot simply submit a random value for your voucher. The quote must accurately reflect the items being ordered. If you need to make changes after you have made your submission, your application process will be delayed as your employer is informed and GCI resets your application. You must ensure your application is correct at the point of submission.
- Secure your bike with a refundable deposit
To ensure the bike shop still has your chosen bike when you go to collect it, you will need to secure it with a fully refundable deposit at the point you obtain a quote. Otherwise, the bike shop can sell the bike to another customer and your application will need to be cancelled and your employer informed.
