After school pickup service in Toronto and the GTA
The bell goes at 3:15 and you are still in a meeting downtown. Our after school pickup service sends one licensed, insured and vetted chauffeur to the school on the days you choose, every week. From there the car goes where your afternoon needs it to go: home, a program, or the next class on the list.
Chauffeuropolis is a private driver company at 40 King Street West in Toronto. We do not run a daycare or an after-school program, and we do not pretend to. We are the ride in between: school to home, school to daycare, or school to karate and then home for dinner.
Most families book the weekly family plan. It runs 2 or more days a week, in blocks of at least 3 hours, at 30% off our standard GTA hourly rates. An executive sedan for up to 2 kids starts from approximately $88 an hour, and a GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Suburban for up to 5 kids starts from approximately $95 an hour.
One-off days work too. A single trip, meaning one pickup and one drop-off, starts from $150. That covers the Tuesday when your usual after school pickup falls through and nobody else can get there.
On the weekly plan, the same chauffeur is assigned to your family every week. Your child sees the same face at the same car, and the driver learns the school, the bag routine and which sibling always comes out last.
Every price here is approximate and comes before HST (13%) and gratuity. The full rate card sits on our rates page.
Parents tell us the hardest part of the week is the gap between 3 pm and 6 pm. Work runs late, the commute runs later, and the school closes its doors on time. A booked car at the bell closes that gap without asking a neighbour for another favour.
After school transportation for kids, from the bell to the front door
Good after school transportation for kids is predictable. Same car, same chauffeur, same time, the right seat already fitted in the back. Children settle faster when the hour after school looks the same every Monday.
Picture an ordinary week. On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4 to 7 pm, the car goes home first for a snack and a change, then to art class, then dance, then a preschool pickup for the younger one, then home. That is one 3-hour block, booked once, repeated every week.
Children of any age can ride without an adult once a parent has signed the consent form. At every drop-off, a named adult receives the child. That might be you, a grandparent, a nanny or the staff at the program door, and you tell us who it is when you book.
A nanny or a parent can ride along whenever it suits. Some families send the nanny with the youngest child and let the older two ride on their own with consent on file.
Our after school transportation services for kids cover the whole GTA, from Forest Hill and Leaside to Oakville, Mississauga, Vaughan and Markham. Bigger families pick the Lincoln Navigator, which seats up to 6 kids, or the Cadillac Escalade for up to 5.
This page is about the hour after the bell. For mornings, weekends and the full family plan, see our page on a private driver for kids in Toronto.
The chauffeur learns the small things over the first few weeks. Which child needs the booster, which one sits behind the driver, where the hockey bag goes, and which door the youngest uses. Those details are written on your booking, so nothing depends on memory alone.
The after school pickup line, without you in it
Anyone who has sat in an after school pickup line knows the drill. Twenty cars, one lane, a teacher with a clipboard and a child who cannot find a left mitten. Our chauffeur joins that line in your place.
The car follows the process your school already runs for private cars and parents. Your child comes out to the car the way they would come out to yours. Tell us the school’s rules when you book, such as the lane to use, the door the class leaves from and any name card the school asks drivers to show.
Car seats and boosters are fitted before the bell, so nobody is wrestling with straps at the curb. Backpacks, hockey bags and lunch boxes go in the back, and the car pulls out of the line as soon as everyone is buckled.
Many of the families we drive have children at private schools. Upper Canada College, Bishop Strachan School, Branksome Hall, Havergal College, Crescent School and TFS in Toronto are common stops, as are Appleby College and St. Mildred’s-Lightbourn School in Oakville and Mentor College and St. Jude’s Academy in Mississauga. We name these as destinations only. We have no arrangement with any school.
Parents looking for a private school pickup and drop off service near me often want mornings and afternoons covered by one driver. Our page on private school transportation in Toronto covers the full school-day run, including the morning drop-off.
Public school or private, a 3-hour block on the weekly plan gives the chauffeur time for the line, the drive and whatever comes after it.
Pickup times differ by school and by grade, and early dismissal days come up during the year. Send us the school calendar at the start of term. We set the pickup time for each day so the car is in the line before your child walks out.
After school pickup and care: rides to daycare and programs
Plenty of families already have after school pickup and care sorted out, apart from one piece. The daycare or program is great, but it sits across town and has no van. That is the gap we fill.
The chauffeur collects your child at the school, drives to the daycare, the program or the club, and hands them to the named adult at the door. Later, the same car can collect them at 6 pm and take them home. Both legs fit inside one booking if they fall within the block.
Parents often search for after school daycare with transportation near me, or after school care with transportation near me, hoping to find a centre that drives. Very few do, and the ones that run vans usually cover a short list of schools. A private driver lets you choose the daycare you like and still get your child there.
The same thinking applies when you search after school pick up daycare near me and the closest centre has a waitlist. A centre 20 minutes away becomes realistic once the drive is handled by someone else.
We are clear about our role. The daycare or program looks after your child. We look after the ride, the seat and the handover to the adult you named. Consent forms, the names of adults who may receive your child and any notes about allergies or pickup rules go on your booking from day one.
If you are weighing after school care pick up near me against hiring a nanny with a car, ask us for a quote on your exact days. The answer usually comes back within the hour.
Some centres open at 3:30 and others take children from 3 pm. Tell us the centre’s hours and the name of the person at the door. At drop-off, that named adult receives your child, the same rule we follow at every stop.
After school programs with pick up, and the ones without
Some after school programs with pick up walk a group of children over from the school next door. Others run a small van to two or three schools. If your child’s school is not on that list, the program may still be the right one, it just needs a ride.
Parents who search for after school programs that pick up from school, or after school pickup programs, are usually solving a transport problem as much as a care problem. We solve the transport half. You keep the program you chose, and we drive your child there on the days they attend.
When the program does run a bus, the timing does not always work. A van that leaves at 3:30 does not help a child whose school lets out at 3:45. A private car leaves when your child is buckled in.
The same goes for after school transportation programs run by community groups and recreation centres. They are a good fit for many families. Ours is the option for families who need a specific school, a specific time or more than one stop in the same afternoon.
Parents comparing after school pick up programs near me with after school pickup programs near me often find the program list is long and the transport list is short. Pick the program for your child, then tell us the school, the program address and the days. We will price the run as a weekly plan or a single trip.
Families in York Region and Halton tell us the same thing. The program is ideal and the drive is the hard part, especially with a younger sibling to collect on the way.
Families who search after school programs with transportation near me usually want both answers at once. Choose the program on its merits, then let us handle the drive. The program keeps its focus on your child and you keep your afternoon.
After school pickup and drop off at classes and sports
For many kids the day does not end at the school door. There is swimming on Monday, dance on Wednesday and karate on Thursday. After school pickup and drop off between those places is where the weekly plan saves parents the most driving.
A typical run goes from school to the studio, then back to collect the child when class ends, then home. Time inside your booked block is billed at the hourly rate, whether the car is driving or parked while class runs. A 3-hour block usually covers the school pickup, one activity and the ride home.
Parents searching karate after school pick up near me often find the dojo will collect from one or two schools only. A private driver covers the gap from any school to any dojo across the GTA.
In Burlington, families book rides to the dance studios on Mainway and Appleby Line, to Aqua-Tots swim lessons, to classes at the Art Gallery of Burlington, and to community arenas and recreation centres. Our page on a driver for kids in Burlington covers that city in detail.
In Toronto the stops change but the pattern is the same: school, arena or studio, home. Hockey bags fit in the back of the Yukon, the Suburban and the Navigator. Dance bags and art boxes fit anywhere.
Siblings with different schedules can share one block. The chauffeur drops one child at swimming, collects the other from school, then returns for the swimmer. Tell us every stop in order and we plan the route. If one child finishes early on certain days, note it on the form and we will adjust those days only.
Classes finish at odd times, often 5:15 or 5:45. We schedule the return leg to match the class, not the hour, and we build the block around your longest day so the plan holds all week.
After school transportation cost per month
Here is how after school transportation cost adds up on the weekly family plan. All figures are approximate and come before HST (13%) and gratuity.
An executive sedan for up to 2 kids is approximately $88 an hour. Three hours, three days a week comes to approximately $792 a week, or about $3,168 over four weeks. At the minimum of 2 days a week, the same block comes to approximately $528 a week, or about $2,112 over four weeks.
A GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Suburban for up to 5 kids is approximately $95 an hour. Three hours, three days a week comes to approximately $855 a week, or about $3,420 over four weeks. The Lincoln Navigator, for up to 6 kids, is approximately $116 an hour, and the Cadillac Escalade, for up to 5, is approximately $123 an hour.
Car seats add $100 per seat per month on a weekly plan, fitted by the driver. Families who prefer their own seats can leave them in the assigned car at no charge. Two children in boosters on a monthly plan add $200 a month to the total.
A single trip, one pickup and one drop-off, starts from $150. That is the number to know when you search school pick up service cost for a one-time afternoon.
After school transportation services near me prices vary with the car, the days and the route, so every family gets a written quote for their actual schedule. Send the school, the stops and the times through our quote form and you will usually hear back within the hour.
Families with two children in one car often compare the sedan to the Yukon. The sedan is cheaper at about $88 an hour, but only fits 2 kids. Once a third child, a nanny or a stack of sports bags joins, the Yukon or Suburban at about $95 an hour is the better fit.
School pick up service for kids: car seats, boosters and consent
The back seat is where a school pick up service for kids gets judged. We supply infant, toddler and booster seats, and the driver fits each one before the first pickup of the day.
Seats cost $9 per seat per day, or $100 per seat per month on a weekly plan. You can also leave your own seats in the assigned car, which many families do once they settle into the plan.
Ontario’s rules are specific. A child under 9 kg rides rear-facing. A booster is required for a child under age 8 who weighs 18 to 36 kg and is under 145 cm. A child can move to the seat belt at age 8, 36 kg or 145 cm. We fit the right seat for every child, whatever the law allows in a hired car.
Consent comes before the first ride. A parent signs the form, lists the adults who may receive each child, and notes anything the chauffeur should know. Children of any age can then ride without an adult. If you prefer a nanny or parent in the car, they ride along.
Every chauffeur is licensed, insured and vetted. On the weekly plan, one chauffeur is assigned to your family, so your children ride with the same person each week.
Tell us each child’s age when you book. We use it to choose the car and the seats, and to make sure the vehicle fits everyone with room for bags. Update us when a child grows into the next seat, and the driver will fit the new one.
Many families start with our seats and switch to their own after a month, or the other way round. Either works. The driver checks each seat before the first pickup of the day, whoever owns it.
Before and after school transportation near me
Some families need afternoons only. Others need the morning too. Before and after school transportation near me is a common search for parents who leave early for work and get home late.
Each booking on the weekly plan has a 3-hour minimum. A morning run and an afternoon run are separate bookings, each with its own block, so a morning school drop off service near me is priced on its own. We quote both legs together so you see the weekly total in one number.
For mornings with a short drive, a single trip from $150 can be the simpler choice. Tell us both schedules and we will show you the options side by side.
Parents who search before and after school pick up near me, or a school pickup drop service near me, often have two children at two schools with two start times. One chauffeur can handle both if the timing allows, and the quote will show the route.
Private school families tend to want both ends of the day with the same driver. For that full run, our private school transportation page, linked above, goes into more detail on mornings, uniforms, early starts and late games.
Whatever you book, the rules stay the same. Signed consent, a named adult at each drop-off, the right seat for each child, and the same chauffeur every week on the plan.
Mornings bring their own timing. Early bells, before-school clubs and band practice can push a drop-off to 7:30. List each morning time separately on the quote form, because many families need a different start on different days.

School pickup service: how to set it up
Setting up a school pickup service takes one message. The quote form asks whether you want a weekly plan or a single trip, your city, the start date and how long you need us. Options run from a single trip to 1 week, 2 to 4 weeks, 1 to 3 months, a school term or ongoing.
Next come the days, the time window and the stops in order, for example school, karate, home. Then the children and their ages, the car seats you need, who rides along, and any other details the chauffeur should know.
We reply with a written quote, usually within the hour. It shows the car, the hourly rate, the block length, seat charges and the weekly total, all before HST and gratuity.
Once you confirm, we assign your chauffeur and collect the signed consent form with the names of the adults who may receive each child. The first pickup runs on the date you chose.
Changes happen. A new activity in January, a sibling starting kindergarten, an extra day in exam season. Tell us and we update the plan and the price. The chauffeur stays the same unless you ask us to change, so your children keep riding with the person they already know.
You can also call us on 905-633-5804. Send the school name, the stops and the times, and we will take it from there.
If you need a ride before the weekly plan is in place, call and say so. A single trip from $150 can cover the first afternoon while the weekly plan is being set up.

Rated 5.0 on Google.
Seth took good care of getting my daughter to the airport on her return from her first trip away by herself. He made sure he kept me informed when she was picked up and when she was dropped off. Grateful for the extra attention to the job.
Matthew M.Wonderful experience overall. Seth was my designated driver, was professional, punctual and very pleasant overall. We needed a big car because of luggage and a baby seat. All those were very well accomodated in an absolutely clean and well maintained car.
Abhishek K.Wonderful communication and service on our family's special day. David made everything work so we didn't have to. Thank you!
