Driver FAQs

Applying to transport children is a meaningful responsibility, and we know you may have important questions before getting started. Below you’ll find answers to common queries about requirements, earnings, schedules, and expectations. If you need further clarification, our team is always here to assist.

Drivers must have a valid driver’s licence, a roadworthy and reliable vehicle, and valid PDP (Professional Driving Permit). We also prioritise individuals with childcare, parenting, or experience working with families.

Yes, within reason. Most placements involve weekday morning and afternoon school runs, making this ideal for part-time work. You will be matched with a family that needs a driver during the times you are available. 

For safety and consistency reasons, drivers may only transport the child or children assigned to them for that specific placement, unless otherwise agreed in writing by both families and approved by our team. This ensures clear accountability, and a secure, child-focused environment during every journey.

We ask drivers to communicate as early as possible. Our team will coordinate with the family to arrange a suitable temporary replacement if needed.

Drivers earn competitive hourly rates (up to R95 per hour), plus AA rates per kilometer. Because placements are consistent, many drivers build reliable part-time income through regular school runs.
