HiveDrive is the first app that solves driving issues for busy families. It's perfect for younger kids and non-drivers who want some independence and for parents who want to save time and money, reduce their environmental impact, and ensure their child’s safety while carpooling. HIGHLIGHTS: Easily coordinates carpools, in advance or on the fly. Enjoy peace of mind when your kids are riding with parents they know. Provides a secure and transparent platform for parents to coordinate schedules, accept pickup and drop-off requests. An in-app chat feature allows all parents and kids to communicate with each other in real time. Shares relevant contact information for all members of the Hive. Never miss a request with notifications, badges, and HiveDrive's signature sound. HOW IT WORKS Once a parent sets up their Household, HiveDrive allows parents and/or kids to create their “hives” (aka specific carpooling need) and request pick ups and drop offs from their “busy bee” parents, seamlessly and efficiently. HiveDrive provides a secure and transparent platform for parents to coordinate schedules, accept pickup and drop-off requests (in advance or on the fly), and communicate with each other in real time. Invite your friends and family, join the hive, and experience the future of family transportation.
