Kid Rideshare app?
Does anyone have any experience with any of the "kiddie uber" apps, such as Kango, HopSkipDrive or Zum? I am suddenly facing a four times a day drive from Oakland to Pinole, and trying to determine if any of these services might help me out. Thanks, Ysa

We have used HopSkipDrive with an 8-year-old from Emeryville to the Berkeley HIlls. It worked very well and the child loved it. They picked her up from a class where they had to park and go in and get her.
HI, we have been using HopSkipDrive for a month now and it has been great. The driver picks up our 8 year old afterschool and drives her to her afterschool program 3 miles away. We also tried Kango which seems to have more drivers but is more expensive- and there is a tip portion too. HopSkipDrive will post final cost (no tip expected) when you book your ride. the only issue so far was when we had requested a ride for Friday afternoon and by Wednesday evening- no driver had accepted. It left us in a bit of a lurch, so I ended up joining Kango Wednesday evening and by Thursday morning a driver had been found. Happy to discuss more via email.
Hi. I've used HopSkipDrive a few times and appreciate the convience. The app is good, their drivers have been great and my 10 year old son felt comfortable.
