A ride you can trust.
Vetted Guardian drivers. A PIN on every trip. Three people watching until the door closes.
Guardian drivers
Police cleared, register checked, interviewed and trained. Live face check before every pickup, so the driver you booked is the driver who arrives.
PIN on every ride
The trip cannot start until the rider gives the driver the code.
Three guardians watching
Live map, chat and alerts for everyone you name. Nothing to switch on.
Panic with armed response
One press reaches a 24/7 safety desk that dispatches help and calls you.
Four steps. None of them optional.
Book
Add your child or yourself, name up to three guardians, book now or for the term.
Match
Only Guardian drivers see the request. Before she sets off, the app scans her face against her certified profile. No swaps, no borrowed accounts.
PIN
Rider gives the driver a four-digit code. Wrong car, wrong child, no trip.
Arrive
Guardians watch live, get a drop-off confirmation, and a "home safe" ping.
Built into every ride. Switched off by no one.
