How do you vet your school transportation drivers?

All School Chauffeur Program drivers undergo extensive background checks including criminal history, driving record review, and drug testing. They also complete specialized training for transporting minors, including child safety protocols and emergency procedures. We only assign our most experienced and trusted drivers to school routes.

Can we request the same driver every day?

Yes, consistency is a core feature of our program. We assign a dedicated primary driver to each family who learns your child's routine, school schedule, and any special requirements. We also maintain a backup driver who is familiar with your route in case of vacation or illness.

What if school dismissal times change unexpectedly?

Our drivers monitor school schedules and are in communication with our dispatch team. If there's an early dismissal or schedule change, simply notify us via phone, app, or text. We offer flexible same-day adjustments at no additional charge for program members.

Can the driver pick up siblings from different schools?

Absolutely. Multi-school pickups are common with our program. We'll design a route that efficiently picks up all children, factoring in different dismissal times. You can track each pickup in the app.

What vehicles do you use for school transportation?

We use luxury SUVs (like Cadillac Escalade or Mercedes GLS) and premium sedans equipped with age-appropriate car seats or booster seats as needed. All vehicles are meticulously maintained, clean, and comfortable for students.

Is this service available during school breaks and summer?

Yes, the program is fully flexible. During school breaks, you can use your assigned driver for camp transportation, activities, or any family needs. Many families continue with modified schedules throughout summer for camp and activities.

What's the cancellation policy?

We understand that children get sick and plans change. Program members receive flexible cancellation—notify us by 8 PM the night before for morning pickups or by 10 AM for afternoon pickups with no cancellation fee. Last-minute cancellations due to illness are handled on a case-by-case basis.

Who Uses Our School Chauffeur Program

Families across the tri-state area trust us with their most precious cargo.

Private School Families

Parents at top NYC private schools—Trinity, Dalton, Brearley, Collegiate, Horace Mann—who want reliable, premium transportation that matches their school's standards. Our drivers understand the importance of punctuality and professionalism in this environment.

Dual-Income Households

When both parents have demanding careers, school runs become logistically challenging. Our program takes this off your plate entirely, with drivers who handle morning drop-offs, afternoon pickups, and after-school activity shuttles.

Multi-Child Families

Families with children at different schools face complex routing challenges. We design optimized routes that pick up and drop off all children efficiently, factoring in different start times and dismissal schedules.

Nannies & Caregivers

Coordinate pickups with your nanny or au pair seamlessly. We work directly with caregivers, freeing them to focus on childcare rather than driving. Many families add their nanny as an authorized contact on the account.

What Parents Are Saying

Real families who transformed their school routine with our chauffeur program.

"We've been using the School Chauffeur Program for 2 years now. Our driver Michael knows both kids by name, helps them with their backpacks, and even remembers their favorite songs. The consistency has been incredible for our family's morning routine."

"As a single mom working in finance, I couldn't manage school pickups. This program literally saved me. The GPS tracking gives me peace of mind during meetings, and my daughter adores her driver. She calls him 'Mr. David'."

Amanda R.

VP at Goldman Sachs

Daughter at Brearley School

"We moved from Greenwich to Manhattan and were dreading the logistics of getting three kids to two different schools. Detailed Drivers designed a perfect route that gets everyone there on time. Game-changer."

The Premium Alternative to School Buses

For families attending New York's top private schools—Trinity, Dalton, Brearley, Collegiate, Horace Mann, Fieldston, and many others—the standard yellow school bus often isn't an option. Many private schools don't offer bus service, and those that do may not serve your neighborhood. That's where our School Chauffeur Program fills the gap.

Unlike rideshare apps where your child might get a different driver each day (if they even allow unaccompanied minors), our program provides the same vetted, trained chauffeur every single school day. Children thrive on consistency, and parents thrive on peace of mind. Your dedicated driver becomes a trusted part of your family's daily routine.

Technology That Keeps You Connected

Our parent tracking app provides real-time GPS location of your child's ride. Receive push notifications when the driver is en route, when your child is picked up, throughout the journey, and upon safe arrival. You'll never wonder "Did they get to school okay?"—you'll know. The app also stores a complete ride history, making it easy to track patterns and share information with your nanny or co-parent.

Beyond Just School Runs

Your school chauffeur isn't limited to the morning and afternoon commute. Program members use the same trusted driver for after-school activities—soccer practice, piano lessons, tutoring sessions, playdates. During school breaks and summer, your driver can handle camp transportation or activity runs. The relationship continues year-round.
