Driving Miss Daisy - trusted transport provider for young and old

Almost five years ago, Jana Seymour started providing the Driving Miss Daisy companion driving service to the central suburbs of Auckland.

Driving Miss Daisy is your transport problem solver. “People sometimes can’t get their older relative to a specialist appointment, or their child to an after-school swimming lesson. We manage those challenges by not only driving them to where they need to be, but also providing whatever level of assistance or care that’s needed,” says Jana. They take people to and from appointments eliminating any parking hassles or offer valuable assistance on a shopping trip.

Jobs are pre-booked and quoted so there’s no meter to watch and you know who will pick you up and when.

Driving Miss Daisy provides transport for ACC clients; people recovering from an accident can request the service through their ACC Case Manager. Elderly people and those with disabilities can use their Total Mobility cards to get a 50% discount on their travel costs. With a team of six drivers, most of them female, the service can manage your driver preferences as well.

The screening, training and accreditation of their staff is taken very seriously, so rest assured that whether it’s a frail parent or a young child - Driving Miss Daisy can be trusted to look after them from door to door.
