How do I book?
Just look on our contacts page to find your local Freedom driver and ring them directly.
Will you provide me with a price in advance?

How much notice do I need to give you?
Just call us anytime you need us and we will do our very best to accommodate your needs as soon as possible. If for some reason your regular driver is unavailable, they will arrange for another friendly Freedom driver to transport you.
Can you provide assistance at my appointments?
Yes- unlike a taxi service Freedom drivers can provide both transport and assistance for any appointments including taking notes regarding treatment or prescriptions for care givers or relatives.
Do you transport children?
Yes- we frequently transport school age children to school and activities. We will also take younger children and babies with their caregiver and we are happy to use your own car seat.

How does Freedom compare to other transport options?
Unlike other transport options such as buses or taxis, Freedom Drivers are more convenient and we pride ourselves on providing a personalised service at affordable and competitive prices – often less than the cost of a taxi. Whilst we get you from A to B like a taxi does – we provide so much more in terms of extra help.
