Private school transportation Toronto and the GTA
Private school transportation from Chauffeuropolis is a private car and one assigned chauffeur for your family’s school week. We handle the morning drop-off, the afternoon pickup and the late club or rehearsal that runs past the last bell. The weekly family plan starts from approximately $88 an hour before HST and gratuity.
Most of the families who call us have a child at a school across town. The drive from Leaside to a campus in Forest Hill, or from Kleinburg to a school in Oakville, eats an hour of a parent’s morning. Our chauffeur takes that hour back, with the car already set up for your children and their bags.
The service is simple to describe. You tell us the days, the times, the stops in order and the children riding. We assign one licensed, insured and vetted chauffeur who drives your family every week, so your children see the same face at the same curb each morning.
This page is about the school run itself. It covers what private school transportation costs, how carpools between families work, what to do with a cello or a hockey bag, and how older students ride on their own with parent consent. It also lists the schools and areas we drive to across Toronto and the GTA.
We are a chauffeur company, not a school service. We have no arrangement with any school, and the schools named on this page are destinations our families travel to. Your contract is with us, your schedule is yours, and your child rides in a private car booked only for your family or the families you choose.
Student transportation when the school does not drive your child
Many private schools do not provide transportation at all. Others run a limited set of bus routes that cover some neighbourhoods and miss others, often with one fixed morning time and one fixed afternoon time. Families outside those routes, or with a child in a late club, still need a way to get there and back.
That gap is where private student transportation comes in. A parent searching for school bus transportation private options is usually looking for something the school route cannot give: a door-to-door ride, a pickup time that matches the timetable, and a driver who knows the child by name. We do not run buses. We run private cars, one family or one carpool at a time.
Families who type ‘school bus transportation private near me’ into a search bar often find a long list of bus operators that serve school contracts. Those operators work for institutions. We work for parents. You book directly, you set the days, and you can change the plan when the term timetable changes.
A private car also solves the age problem. A Grade 3 student needs a fitted booster and a named adult at both ends. A Grade 11 student needs a reliable ride after a rehearsal that ends at 7 pm. Both are part of the same service, priced the same way, with the same chauffeur assigned to the family.
If your school does run a route that suits you in the morning, you can book us for the afternoon only. Some families use the school route at 7:30 am and our chauffeur for the pickup at 3:30 pm, when work makes the school gate hard to reach. The plan fits whatever part of the week you need covered.
Private school transportation cost
Private school transportation cost on our weekly family plan is 30% off our standard GTA hourly rates. Each booking is a 3-hour minimum block, and the plan runs 2 or more days a week. All prices below are from approximately, before HST at 13% and gratuity.
When parents compare school private transportation cost across providers, the useful question is the price for the car and the time you actually need. Our hourly model means you pay for a block of the chauffeur’s time, and that block can include the school pickup, a stop at home for a uniform change and the drive to practice.
A 3-hour block in an executive sedan works out to approximately $264. The same block in a GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Suburban is approximately $285. For a full table of our regular pricing, see our standard GTA rates page; the weekly plan applies the 30% discount to those figures.
Parents searching for cheap private school transportation services near me should know where we sit. We are a chauffeur service with a private car and an assigned driver, so we are not the lowest figure on the market. The weekly plan discount and the single trip from $150 are the ways we keep the school run within reach for a regular family schedule.
Many families ask about private school transportation near me prices before they ask anything else, and that is fair. Send us the days, the pickup times and the number of children, and we will return a written quote, usually within the hour. The quote shows the vehicle, the block length, the days and the total before tax.
- Executive sedan: from approximately $88/hr (standard $125), up to 2 kids
- GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Suburban: from approximately $95/hr (standard $135), up to 5 kids
- Lincoln Navigator: from approximately $116/hr (standard $165), up to 6 kids
- Cadillac Escalade: from approximately $123/hr (standard $175), up to 5 kids
- Single trip, one pickup and one drop-off: from $150
- Car seats: $9 per seat per day, or $100 per seat per month on a weekly plan
Student transportation services Toronto for older students
Student transportation services Toronto parents book for older children look a little different from the primary school run. A Grade 9 to Grade 12 student often has an early practice, a free period, a late rehearsal and a weekend tournament. The schedule shifts week to week, and a fixed route rarely matches it.
Our student transportation service works around that timetable. You send the regular days and times, and the chauffeur assigned to your family drives them. When the debate club adds a Thursday session, you tell us and we adjust the plan for the weeks it runs.
Private student transportation near me searches often come from parents of teenagers who are too old for a nanny and too young to drive across the city alone at night. Children of any age can ride without an adult once a parent signs a consent form. You name the adult who receives your child at each drop-off, and the chauffeur hands over only to that person.
Student transportation private bookings also suit families with a student boarding during the week. A Sunday evening drive back to campus and a Friday afternoon pickup are two bookings our chauffeurs handle every term. Each is priced as a single trip from $150 or folded into a weekly plan block, whichever works out better for your schedule.
Older students carry more gear, too. A senior with a laptop bag, a gym bag and a cello needs a vehicle with real cargo room. A GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Suburban takes up to 5 students with their bags, which is why most of our student transportation services run in those two models.
School transportation private carpools between families
School transportation private carpools let two or three families share one car and one chauffeur. Parents on the same street, or with children in the same grade, split the hourly cost of the block. The Lincoln Navigator seats up to 6 kids and the Yukon or Suburban up to 5, so a carpool of three siblings and two neighbours fits in one vehicle.
A carpool needs clear rules from day one. Each family signs its own consent form and names its own receiving adult. The stops are listed in order on the booking, and the chauffeur follows that order every morning, so no child is left guessing who gets dropped first.
Some parents ask us about private vans for school transportation near me because they expect a carpool to need a van. In practice, our full-size SUVs carry the same group with more comfort and a proper seat for every child. Booster and toddler seats are fitted by the driver for each child who needs one.
A shared car is the most practical form of school transport private car service for a neighbourhood. It is also the closest we come to a student shuttle transportation near me arrangement: one vehicle, a set loop and the same chauffeur, booked by the families who ride in it rather than by the school.
Billing is handled the way the families prefer. One parent can hold the booking and settle the others privately, or each family can receive its own invoice for its share. Tell us on the quote form how many families are in the carpool and we will set the plan up to match.
Some parents find us after searching ‘school shuttle service near me’ and expect a shared vehicle with fixed stops. A carpool on our plan is closer to a private loop, set by the families who ride in it. When parents ask about school shuttle service near me prices, the price is the hourly block divided between the families who share it.
Kids school transportation near me with the right car seat
Kids school transportation near me searches from parents of younger children always come back to one question: the car seat. We supply infant, toddler and booster seats at $9 per seat per day, or $100 per seat per month on a weekly plan. The driver fits every seat before the first pickup.
Ontario law sets the minimums. A child under 9 kg rides rear-facing. A booster is required under age 8 when the child weighs 18 to 36 kg and stands under 145 cm. A child can move to the seat belt alone at age 8, 36 kg or 145 cm. We fit the right seat for every child regardless of what the law allows in a hired car.
Child school transportation near me for a junior kindergarten student and a Grade 6 sibling means two different setups in the same car. Tell us each child’s age on the quote form and we will plan the seating before the first day. If you prefer your own seats, you can leave them in the assigned car for the term.
Parents looking for school transportation near me for child riders also want to know who is at the other end. You name the adult who receives your child at every drop-off, whether that is a teacher at the school door, a nanny at home or a grandparent. The chauffeur hands over only to the named person.
For families who also need rides outside the school week, our private driver for kids page covers the full weekly plan for activities, appointments and weekend loops. The car seats, the chauffeur and the consent forms carry over, so one booking can grow into the whole family schedule.
School transportation Toronto with room for uniforms, instruments and gear
School transportation Toronto families rely on has to carry more than children. A private school day can mean a blazer on a hanger, a gym bag, a violin case, a science project and a hockey bag for the 5 pm practice. Our SUVs are chosen for that load as much as for the seating.
Instruments get their own space. A cello or a keyboard rides in the cargo area, not on a child’s lap, and the chauffeur loads it so it does not shift on the Don Valley Parkway. If a child has a concert or a recital, tell us the time and we will plan the drive with room to unload.
Sports gear is the other big item. Hockey bags, ski bags in winter and rowing kit in spring all fit in the back of a Yukon, Suburban or Navigator. Families with two athletes on different teams often book the Navigator for the extra cargo room behind the third row.
Uniform changes are easy to plan inside a block. A common pattern is a pickup at 3:30 pm, a 15-minute stop at home to swap a kilt for track pants, and a drop-off at the arena for 4:30 pm. That whole loop sits inside one 3-hour booking.
Older students sometimes leave items in the car between days. Families on the weekly plan can keep a spare umbrella, a booster or a set of shin pads in the assigned vehicle. Because the same chauffeur drives your family every week, things stay where you left them.
Winter changes the load again. Boots, snow pants and a spare pair of mitts add up quickly for a family of three. School transportation private Toronto families book from November to March usually moves to a full-size SUV for that reason, even when a sedan seats the children comfortably in September.
School transportation private services for late clubs and rehearsals
School transportation private services earn their keep after the regular bell. Robotics, theatre, choir and varsity practice often end between 5 pm and 7 pm, after any school route has gone. A private car booked for that window means your child is not waiting on a dark curb for a parent stuck in traffic.
The 3-hour minimum block works well for this. A family might book 4 pm to 7 pm on rehearsal days, covering the pickup from school, a snack stop and the drive home after the late session. On other days the block can start later to match the club timetable.
Families who need the afternoon covered more than the morning can read about our after-school pickup service, which focuses on the pickup window and the activity loop that follows it. The pricing, consent and car seat rules are the same as on this page.
Rehearsal weeks before a school concert or a musical are the busiest. Tell us the extra dates as soon as the school publishes them and we will add them to your plan. Quotes usually come back within the hour, so a new date can be confirmed the same day.
Tournaments and away games are booked the same way. A Saturday drive to a game in Markham or an early start for a meet in Mississauga can be a single trip from $150 or a longer block in the weekly plan. Send the address and the start time and we will price it.
Private school transportation companies near me: what to compare
When parents compare private school transportation companies near me, four points decide most choices: who drives, what car arrives, how the price is set and what happens at the handover. We answer all four in writing before your first ride.
Who drives: one licensed, insured and vetted chauffeur assigned to your family for the weekly plan. The same driver comes every week, so your child knows who to look for at the curb. What arrives: a private executive sedan or full-size SUV, never a shared vehicle with strangers.
How the price is set: a 3-hour minimum block at 30% off our standard GTA hourly rates, before HST and gratuity. There are no per-child surcharges inside the seating limit of the vehicle. Car seats are the one extra, at $9 per seat per day or $100 per seat per month.
What happens at the handover: a parent signs a consent form for each child who rides without an adult, and names the adult who receives the child at each drop-off. A nanny or parent can ride along on any trip at no change to the booking structure.
Some parents also search for student transportation companies near me or assisted student transportation near me. We are a private chauffeur company. If your child needs specific help, tell us on the quote form and we will tell you plainly whether our service fits before you book anything.
Speed of reply is the other thing parents weigh. Anyone searching for a school transportation service near me in late August usually needs an answer that day, not next week. Our quotes usually come back within the hour, and the same office handles every change once the term starts. That is the standard we hold ourselves to among school private transportation services near me.
Student transportation GTA: areas and schools we drive to
Our student transportation GTA coverage runs across Toronto and the surrounding cities. In Toronto we drive families from Forest Hill, Rosedale, Lawrence Park, Leaside and North York. Outside the city we cover Oakville, Burlington, Mississauga, Vaughan including Woodbridge and Kleinburg, Richmond Hill, Markham including Unionville, King City and Aurora.
In Toronto, families on our plan travel to schools such as Upper Canada College, Bishop Strachan School, Branksome Hall, Havergal College, Crescent School and TFS. These are destinations our families go to each day. We have no partnership or arrangement with any of them.
West of the city, Oakville families travel to Appleby College and St. Mildred’s-Lightbourn School, and Mississauga families travel to Mentor College and St. Jude’s Academy. Each city has its own page with local detail, and the weekly plan and pricing are the same across all of them.
Distance shapes the block, not the rate. A family whose school sits close to home, the kind of trip people search as ‘school transportation services near me within 5 mi’, may fit a morning and an afternoon run into a shorter day. A family driving from King City to midtown Toronto needs more time in the block for the same two runs.
This is student transportation Ontario families arrange privately, outside any school route. If you are searching for school transportation Ontario options because your child is moving schools or your family is moving cities, send us both addresses. We will tell you how the drive looks at 7:30 am and at 3:30 pm before you commit.
Student transportation safety, consent and one chauffeur
Student transportation safety starts with knowing who is driving. On the weekly plan, one chauffeur is assigned to your family and drives every booked day. All our chauffeurs are licensed, insured and vetted, and your children get to know the same person over the term.
Consent is in writing. A parent signs a consent form before any child rides without an adult, and that covers children of any age. The form names the adult who receives the child at each drop-off, so the handover at school and at home is set before the first morning.
A parent or nanny can ride along whenever you want. Some families ride along for the first week while their child settles, then let the routine run with the chauffeur alone. Others keep a nanny in the car for younger children every day. Both work inside the same booking.
Seats are fitted for each child by the driver, as set out above, and the vehicle is the same one each week on the plan. That consistency matters to younger riders. A 6-year-old who knows the car, the seat and the chauffeur gets in without fuss at 7:45 am.
If something changes on a given day, such as an early dismissal or a sick day, call or message us with the change. The office at 905-633-5804 handles schedule updates, and the chauffeur works from the revised plan.
Families new to student transportation Toronto services often ask for a short trial first. A single trip from $150 lets your child meet the chauffeur and ride the route once before the term begins. Many parents book that trip in the last week of summer, then start the weekly plan on the first day of school.
How to book private school transportation near me
Booking private school transportation near me takes one form. Our quote form asks whether you want the weekly plan or a single trip, your city, the start date and how long you need the service: a single trip, 1 week, 2 to 4 weeks, 1 to 3 months, a school term or ongoing.
The form then asks for the days, the time window and the stops in order. List the home address, the school, any activity and the return. Add each child’s age, the car seats you need, who rides along and any other details, such as a cello on Tuesdays.
Quotes usually come back within the hour. The quote names the vehicle, the length of each block, the days covered and the total before HST and gratuity. Once you accept, we assign your chauffeur and confirm the first morning’s pickup time.
Parents comparing private school transportation services near me for students often send two or three versions of the week, for example a 3-day plan and a 5-day plan. We are happy to quote both, so you can see the difference in writing before choosing.
Chauffeuropolis is based at 40 King Street West, Toronto. Call 905-633-5804 if you would rather talk through the schedule, or use the form and we will reply with a written quote for your family’s school run.
If you have been comparing school transportation services near me prices, the quote gives you a firm number to set against the others. If you have been searching for school transportation private near me options or student transportation services near me, the quote also tells you whether your neighbourhood is in our area. Both answers arrive in the same reply.

What families say
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!

Is private school transportation cheaper than driving myself?
