Getting out and about and doing the things you have always done is an important part of staying independent. When that becomes difficult, Freedom Drivers offer a safe, trustworthy and caring service, which is much more than just transport, for people of all ages.
“Our drivers provide all kinds of extra help and assistance at both ends of the journey depending on what is needed,” says franchisor, Julian Smith.
“For example, we are happy to accompany clients to appointments and wait; assist people to find their way in clinics and hospitals; negotiate stairs; make sure children are dropped at the right place with the right person and assist with shopping and airport transfers plus much more. Just call and discuss your needs.”
Freedom clients include:
- Seniors who no longer drive or who prefer not to.
