Scholar Rides was born from a simple need: to bring trust, accountability, and transparency to school transport in South Africa. We saw families struggling to find school transport and drivers struggling with inconsistent income and being discovered by parents. Our platform bridges this gap, connecting verified drivers with families who need daily school transport.
We are committed to making school transport transparent, accessible, and reliable for South African families. We are not changing the South African school transport system, we are just providing tools. Drivers and parents who already have a relationship can also join the platform. By connecting parents with verified drivers and drivers they know and trust through our digital platform, we create trust, ensure transparency, and support local transport businesses.
Simply download the Scholar Rides app, create your parent profile, and add your child's school and home address. The app will show you verified drivers serving your area. You can review their profiles, routes, and pricing before making a request.
All drivers on Scholar Rides undergo a verification process that includes checking their driver's license, vehicle registration, and background checks. We ensure all drivers meet safety standards before they can offer transport services.
Scholar Rides uses monthly payment plans. Once you sign a contract with a driver, you can set up automated monthly payments through the app. Payment terms are agreed upon between you and the driver before signing the contract.
Yes! Scholar Rides provides real-time tracking so you can see when the driver arrives for pickup, when your child is picked up, and when they arrive at school. You'll also receive notifications for all important events.
You can discuss changes with your current driver through the app. If you need to switch drivers, you can search for new options. Cancellation terms are outlined in your digital contract, typically requiring 30 days notice.
Download the Scholar Rides Driver app, register your account, and complete the verification process. You'll need to provide your driver's license, vehicle details, and preferred routes. Once verified, you can start receiving transport requests from parents.
