Your FAQ

Question: Can I use the lift for free if I have an Islander Card?

Answer: The Islander card is not accepted at the lift, it is purely used as a travel card on the Isle of Wight buses. You need to purchase a lift registration card at one of our leisure centres at the cost of £2.50 available from The Heights. The lift card is for Island Residents that are 60+ and the card gives free use of the lift.
