School Runs in Durham Made Easy Safe, Reliable and On Time Every Day

Why Parents in Durham Trust English Taxis for School Runs

Safety First

Every one of our drivers is fully DBS checked (Disclosure and Barring Service) and licensed by Durham County Council. Your children are always in safe, professional hands.

Punctuality You Can Rely On

We understand that being late for school is not an option. Our drivers plan routes carefully, account for traffic, and always arrive on time — every morning without fail.

Regular Familiar Driver

Wherever possible, we assign the same driver to your child's school run. This builds familiarity and makes children feel comfortable and at ease.

Door to School, School to Door

We pick your child up directly from home and drop them safely at the school entrance. On the return journey, we collect from the school gate and bring them home safely.

Flexible Scheduling

Whether you need a school run five days a week or just occasional cover, we work around your schedule completely.
