How school run bookings work: a conversation first, then a family account

Every school run is arranged personally, because no two children's needs or timetables are the same. The process is:

  1. Contact us by email or phone with your route and timetable.
  2. We talk through your child's needs, collection points, waiting time and handover arrangements.
  3. We confirm the price, driver arrangements and cancellation terms in writing.
  4. We set up your family account, and you pay by weekly or monthly invoice.

This means you do not pay for each journey separately, and any changes to your routine can be discussed with us directly.

School transport arrangements

School runs for primary and secondary pupils

We provide school runs for primary and secondary pupils. Arrangements are set up around your child's age and confidence, not a fixed format.

For primary school children, families usually want a clear handover at the school gate or with a named member of staff, and an agreed adult at home for afternoon collections. Secondary school pupils may travel more independently, often with later finishes for clubs, sports or revision sessions. Tell us what suits your child and we will agree the details with you.

Regular school run cabs built around your family's routine

Work, childcare and different school start times can make the school run hard to manage, especially when siblings attend different schools. Our school run cabs give parents and carers a dependable, pre-arranged option for getting children to and from school.

You can arrange daily term-time journeys, selected weekdays, one-way trips, or both morning and afternoon transport. Collections after school clubs and activities can also be discussed, subject to availability.

Waiting time and handovers agreed before the first journey

Some children need extra time to get ready, walk to the vehicle or settle before travelling. Explain this when you get in touch so waiting time, and any charge for it, can be agreed in advance.

If your child will travel without a parent or carer, we will discuss their age, needs, emergency contacts and the authorised adult who will receive them at each destination before the first journey.

What to tell us when you get in touch

The price of a school run taxi depends on the route, journey times, how often you need transport, the number of passengers and any vehicle requirements. Please include:

  • Home and school addresses, with postcodes.
  • The weekdays you need, your start date and the school arrival time.
  • The afternoon collection time, including any after-school clubs.
  • The number and ages of the children, their school year, and whether an adult will travel with them.
  • Any seating, waiting time or additional support requirements.

We will use these details to discuss your requirements, then confirm the price, collection arrangements and cancellation terms in writing before your family account is set up.
