Horrible late company

These people are always late. By an hour. Every. single. day.

My savior!

We only have one family car and the dreaded anti-parent LATE START schools are doing now was a huge conflict until I heard about HopSkipDrive. How many working parents can wait until 8:45am to get their kids to school? Just insanity! My district has 0 busses and the only option for late start days is an on site daycare that excludes and discriminates against kids who come in to the school after kindergarten. My child started in first grade so they cannot attend the only before school daycare they provide. Can’t get into the daycare even if you’ve been enrolled at the school for years! I would probably be forced into homeschooling if I did not have this service due to the attendance problems that the schools themselves create. This service is extremely valuable and should be implemented everywhere.

Huge help!!!

I was at a real loss for how to manage working and getting my son home from school. We live outside of our school district so there are no school offered busses or other parents going our way. This app has been a lifesaver!! So far we’ve got two rides under our belt and both have gone perfect. Not sure what I was going to do without this app!!

Great drivers, horrible management

Drivers are great people being underpaid by corporate greed. Headquarters in California, always difficult talking to anyone with knowledge and authority to change anything.

My new go to!

I was nervous because my granddaughter is young, but Laura made our first HopSkipDrive experience absolutely perfect. She was early, brought a booster seat, and was incredibly professional. My granddaughter felt safe and comfortable…she said she wants a ride from HSD every day.
