A patient, pre-booked private driver for older passengers, people with disability and anyone who needs a little extra help. The same friendly driver every time, door to door, and never rushed.
Where I can take you
- Medical appointments. GPs, specialists, scans and day procedures. I walk you to reception, then wait or come back when you're done.
- Home from hospital. A calm, comfortable ride home when you're discharged, with your bags carried to the door.
- Prescriptions and errands. Forward me your eScript and I'll collect your medicine, or pick up groceries and drop them home. If the pharmacist needs to see you in person, I'll drive you there instead.
- Shopping and outings. The shops, the hairdresser, lunch with friends, church or the club.
- Visiting loved ones. Regular trips to see a partner or friend in aged care or hospital.
Help along the way
- Door to door, with a steadying arm in and out of the car.
- Room for mobility aids. A folding wheelchair, walker or shopping trolley fits in the boot.
- Assistance animals are always welcome.
- Time to settle in. No meter running in your head and no rushing out the door.
For families
Live too far away to drive Mum or Dad yourself? Book and pay for their rides from anywhere, and I'll send you a WhatsApp when they're safely home. You can also give them a Gold Coast Private Driver gift card to use whenever they need a lift.
NDIS participants
If your plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can use my service and pay from your NDIS funding. I send an invoice with my ABN for every trip, ready for your records or your plan manager. I'm not an NDIS-registered provider, so I can't accept bookings paid from agency-managed plans.
Fares
Every trip is quoted up front, including any waiting time, so you know the cost before you book.
Good to know
Getting into the car
My car is a late-model Lexus RX 350h Luxury SUV, which isn't wheelchair accessible. You'll need to be able to step in and out with a steadying hand, as I can't lift passengers. A folding wheelchair travels in the boot.
Bring a carer or family member
Up to 3 passengers per trip, so a carer, partner or friend is welcome to come along.
Same driver, every time
Gold Coast Private Driver is a one-man operation, so you'll always see a familiar face. Many people book the same day and time each week, and I keep it in my diary.
