Why Families Love HopSkipDrive

  • Safety

    Safety is built into everything we do. From our Safe Ride Technology to our 15-point CareDriver certification process, ensuring the safety of every child and ride always comes first.

  • Caregivers on Wheels

    HopSkipDrive CareDrivers undergo rigorous driving and background checks to ensure children will be safe in their back seats. They are parents, grandparents, babysitters, former teachers, and more who each have at least five years of caregiving experience.

  • Real-Time Ride Tracking

    We give families the peace of mind they deserve. HopSkipDrive’s Safe Ride Technology™ tracks all rides in real time and offers unparalleled end-to-end visibility to parents at each stage of the ride. 

  • Proactive and Open Communication

    Parents receive ride status notifications before, during, and after each ride, and can easily contact CareDrivers or our Safe Ride Support™ team at any point.

  • Easy Ride Scheduling

    Need to get your kids to school, camp, or after-school activities? Easily schedule rides whenever you need them. Book one-time trips up to eight hours in advance, or set up recurring rides for those regular weekly commitments.

  • A Better School Commute Experience

    Families whose children ride with HopSkipDrive CareDrivers report higher satisfaction with their child’s transportation, shorter commutes, and fewer missed school days and activities.*
