How CaringDrivers Works
A simple weekly membership that gives you a familiar, caring driver — and a $15 weekly discount toward their services. Every driver sets their own service menu, so prices reflect what each person actually offers.
The Membership
$20/week. $15 of that comes back to you as a weekly discount on services from your driver — and we're transparent about the other $5.
$20/week membership
Your steady commitment is what lets us guarantee caring drivers predictable work — so they're there when you need them.
$15 weekly service discount
Every week, $15 comes off the price of any service you book with your driver. Think of it as a discount, not a free ride.
Where every dollar goes
We believe in being completely upfront about your weekly fee. Here's exactly how it breaks down.
$15 → A discount, not a free ride
Three-quarters of every weekly fee comes back as a $15 discount you can apply to any service you book with your driver. Most visits start around $35, so a typical week looks like $15 credit + about $20 out of pocket + an optional tip. The credit makes a steady relationship affordable — it isn't meant to cover the whole bill. Use it weekly so it stays a real benefit instead of a forgotten balance.
$5 → Keeps it running
The other $5 keeps CaringDrivers safe, fair, and accountable — so the people you trust with your loved ones are properly supported.
- Admin & member support staff
- The platform & app you use to schedule
- Insurance & ongoing compliance
- Driver training & continuing education
What a real visit actually costs
Two examples — the cheapest service we expect you'll find, and a typical medical-day visit.
Example: standard local ride
James — South Charlotte, NC
- Service price
- $35.00
- Your weekly credit
- −$15.00
- You pay
- $20.00
Plus an optional tip for your driver.
Example: medical appt + wait
Maria — South Tampa, FL (bilingual)
- Service price
- $45.00
- Your weekly credit
- −$15.00
- You pay
- $30.00
Plus an optional tip for your driver.
Bottom line: the $15 weekly credit makes a regular driver affordable, not free. You're paying a fair price for a person who knows you, your routine, and your appointments — and showing up for them with a small tip when they go above and beyond.
Every driver is background-checked — no exceptions
Members don't have to pass a background check, and there's no signup fee — joining is just the $20/week membership. The bar is on our side: every approved driver must pass a background check through one of our approved vendors — at their own expense, paid directly to the vendor — before they ever meet a member. That's how we keep the community safe.
We also run ongoing background checks for as long as a driver is part of our community. No exceptions, ever.
We'll drive your car, or we'll bring ours
Whichever makes more sense for your situation.
We bring our car
Your driver picks you up in their own vehicle. Door-to-door service, with help in and out, bags carried, and a steady hand if you need one.
We drive your car
Have a perfectly good car but can't drive right now? Your driver comes to you and drives your vehicle — you ride along as the passenger. Great for recovery situations.
Two Ways to Book
Whichever feels easiest for you.
Schedule In-App
Use the CaringDrivers app to schedule rides and services in advance. Pick a date, time, and what you need — your driver gets notified automatically.
Call Your Driver
You have a dedicated driver — call or text them directly to coordinate. It's like having a trusted neighbor who's always ready to help.
The menu changes from driver to driver
Every caring driver sets their own service menu
That's the whole point. A bilingual former hospital admin in Tampa, a retired hospice aide in Atlanta, and a retired carpenter in Bend don't offer the same things — and they shouldn't be priced like they do. Here's a peek at three menus, side by side.

Trust is the whole point
Every CaringDriver is thoroughly vetted before they ever meet you — and we run ongoing background checks for as long as they're part of our community. Your safety and comfort are why we keep our driver pool small and our standards high.
