Ride service for 5th grader afterschool activities
Hi there, I am going back to work and considering a ride service for my kid (5th grader) for one day a week to an activity. I am looking for reviews/advice on services such as Kango, HopSkipDrive or Zum. It is just a pick up from school and take a 12 min ride to an activity. Seems like an easy win for busy parents, but wanted to hear from others. Thanks

Hello,
I am in the same boat as you... I have read up on “Zum;HopSkipDrive;Kango;Kidjetz andKidsKart. More stressed out than ever before—the reviews are 50 good and 50 bad. Bad as over charging the cards and not having reliable drivers...
We have used Zum on multiple occasions. They have been reliable. They've always had a driver available when I needed one and you know the cost up front. I tried another service once and they didn't have a driver available. I didn't know that they didn't have a driver, though, until 24 hours before, so I was scrambling last minute. Not what you want as a busy parent. Zum doesn't match you with your driver until 24 hours before, but they have always had a driver for me. So I don't worry about that. I think they have an option to set up recurring rides if you have a regular activity.
