Quick Answers
- Are your drivers DBS checked?
- To the enhanced standard, yes. It is a condition of the Basildon and Castle Point council licences every Swift driver carries.
- Can I set up a regular daily booking?
- That is the normal arrangement. The route, times and requirements go in once and repeat all term until you change them.
Mornings That Just Work
One standing booking covers the whole term: an enhanced-DBS-checked driver, the same face at the kerb wherever rosters allow, and the run visible live on your phone from door to gate.
Vetted Like School Staff
Enhanced DBS checks are baked into every driver's council licence, the same bar schools set for the adults inside the building.
The Same Car at the Kerb
Standing bookings keep one driver on the route wherever rosters allow, so the pickup is familiar rather than a daily stranger.
Watch It Happen
The live map shows the car from your door to the gate, with an alert at drop-off. No wondering, no ringing the school office.
What's Included:
- Enhanced DBS vetting as standard
- A consistent driver on the route
- Live tracking with drop-off alerts
Booked, Allocated, Moving
The routine is the same for a hop across Billericay or a run to the far end of the country. Here is how it goes.
Map the Week
School, times, addresses, seats needed, siblings included. It goes in once as a standing booking.
The Car Just Comes
Same time every morning, same driver wherever we can roster it, and the trip live on your phone.
Bend It When Needed
Inset days, dentist appointments, a term of Tuesday football. One message to the office and the booking bends.

What Makes a School Run Hold Up
The failure mode of most school-run arrangements is a single person: one neighbour, one relative, one car that fails its MOT on a Tuesday. A standing booking with a fleet behind it removes that. If the regular driver is off, another enhanced-DBS-checked driver takes the run and you can still watch it happen live.
Consistency is the other half. We keep one driver on each school route wherever rosters allow because children get in a familiar car more happily, and because a driver who knows the route knows which gate, which teacher, and which bit of Stock Road jams at 8.40.
What Every Job Gets
Enhanced DBS, Every Driver
The vetting is the same standard schools demand of their own staff, and it comes built into the council licence.
Routine, Not Roulette
The same driver stays on the route wherever the roster allows. Children do better with a face they know.
Timed to the Bell
Standing bookings mean the driver has done this exact run before and knows where the traffic hides at 8.40.
The Run on Your Phone
Live tracking from your door to the gate, with the drop-off confirmed the moment it happens.
Cashless Mornings
Weekly or monthly settlement by card, direct debit or account. The morning routine stays money-free.
Council Licensed
Both driver and vehicle carry current council licences and pass the inspections that come with them.

Wherever the roster allows, and we plan rosters with school runs in mind. A familiar driver makes 8am easier on everyone.
The right child or booster seat is a legal requirement for younger passengers, and as private hire we follow the government guidance: the parent supplies the seat and we make sure it stays with the booking.
Yes. Two siblings, two addresses, two schools can run as one booking with priced extra stops.
