School transport for the daily run
For working parents, a regular school run is one less thing to juggle each morning. We collect from home or an agreed pick-up point, take the children to school, and bring them home in the afternoon.
Tell us your child's school, the start and finish times, and where they should be collected and dropped off. If brothers and sisters, or a neighbour's children, share the run, add them to the same request.
School transport works best with a clear routine: the same pick-up time and place every school day. If something changes, such as an early closing day or exam times, let us know in advance.
Peace of mind for parents
Handing over the school run is a big step, and we take it seriously. Before you start, we're happy to talk through the route and the times with you and answer any questions you have. Call or WhatsApp us on 082 781 3769 or 082 474 0084.
School excursion transport and school tours
Teachers planning an outing need the transport sorted early. We do school excursion transport for one class or a whole grade, to places such as Kirstenbosch, the Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront, the Iziko museums in the Company's Garden, Table Mountain, Boulders Beach and the West Coast Fossil Park near Langebaan.
We drop the group at the entrance and collect them again at the agreed time. Outings spread over a few days can go in a single request: choose Several trips on the quote form and add each one in order.
Aircon makes a real difference on a hot summer outing, and WiFi and phone charging help teachers keep in touch with the school. Holiday clubs and aftercare programmes can book outings the same way.
Planning an excursion: what to send us
Put the school's name in the Company or school field so we know who we're quoting, and add:
- The date, and the times you need to leave and return
- The school address and the destination
- How many learners, and how many teachers or parents are coming
- Any kit, bags or equipment
- Any stops on the way, such as lunch
Sports day transport
Matches, galas, athletics meetings and tournaments: we take teams, coaches and supporters to the venue and back. Every vehicle can pull a trailer, so ask for one if the team is bringing kit bags, cricket bags or equipment.
Early starts for away fixtures and late returns after an evening match fit our hours, because we run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. School camps work the same way: we take the group to the camp venue and back, with a trailer for bags if you need one.
School bus hire in Cape Town
If you need a bus rather than a regular run, our school bus hire covers vehicles for 7 to 23 passengers, each with a driver, and we arrange 35, 40 and 60 seaters on request. Learners and accompanying adults all count as passengers, and the driver is extra. Read more about bus hire or see the fleet.
What schools and parents should know
These are the basics we bring to every school trip:
- Vetted, licensed, professional drivers who know the local roads
- Charter and tourist operating licences
- Passenger liability cover on every vehicle
- Aircon, WiFi and phone charging in every vehicle
- A family business, with our family name on every vehicle
- Every trip quoted by hand, with a reply within 24 hours
Booking scholar transport in Cape Town
If your school needs particular documents for an outing, mention it when you request a quote and we'll tell you what we can provide. Pre-booking is preferred to guarantee availability, so send the dates for sports seasons and term outings as early as you can.
