Driving Miss Daisy are an internationally successful companion driving service. Our Didcot based service centre supports Didcot and surrounding Oxfordshire areas.
We provide a much needed and valued service bridging the gap between taxis, public transport and voluntary agencies; primarily helping senior citizens but also families and vulnerable people of all ages.
Our companion drivers collect people from their door, drive them to their destination, provide whatever help they may require and take them safely back home.
All of our vehicles are mobility enabled and accessible to all wheelchair types. Each can carry up to 3 passengers and one wheelchair and have ample cargo space.
Despite the name, we are not just a driving company. Driving Miss Daisy Didcot offer
companionship, in or out of the home.
This could be anything from having a cup of tea and a biscuit with
someone who lives alone, taking them out shopping or to a local or even longer distance activity or simply go
for a walk together. Watch our short video for more.
Being on the end of a phone can add a sense of reassurance or
even spending time away from a day to a few days visiting friends and family, a
place of interest such as a trip to the seaside or going to a concert, or mini-break.
It is about your choice and what makes you happy, what you enjoy.
We recognise that there is an increasing need to support various members of our communities and help them stay independent and safe. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Senior citizens who want to maintain their independence
- Parents requiring help taking children to/from after school activities
- Organisations who need to take people to/from appointments or activities
- Young adults who need safe, secure and trusted transport
- Lone travellers in need of transport at vulnerable times or locations
- People with disabilities or specialist needs
- Prescription collections or others tasks such as grocery or gift shopping
We offer added value which other organisations can't, such as:
- Meeting the client directly at their door, we will not just 'toot' and wait outside
- Settling them into their homes with a cuppa tea or a snack if required
- Communicating with parents/carers that their child is safely collected and dropped off
- Assisting and accompanying vulnerable people to and from the vehicle, to and from their destination and, if required, staying with them for an appointment or a fun day out or activity.
Our pricing is very competitive – you’ll be surprised at how cost-effective our service is. Contact us for a bespoke quote tailored to your individual needs.
