Connect your driver

Already have a driver? Tap Invite your driver and send them the ready-made WhatsApp message. When they join, your child is linked to their vehicle and you can see when the transport is on the way. No driver yet? Find verified transport for your child’s school instead.

We only show transport businesses that SkoolRun has verified.

Every day

Follow every trip

On the morning and afternoon run you see when the driver starts, when your child is picked up, and when they are dropped off. When the driver arrives at your stop, we tell you straight away.

Not going today? Tap Not going today and the driver is told.

Optional

Set extra-murals once

Netball on Monday, chess on Tuesday? Add the activity once in the calendar. The driver is told on the day, with the time to collect, and you can skip a single day or pause for the holidays.

Plans change? Skip one day with one tap.
