Friendly and Reliable Companion Driving Services
Freedom Companion Driving is a pre-booked personal driving service that provides transportation and additional assistance at both ends of the trip.
We cover the full range of personal transport and companion needs, from assisting people who are elderly, mobility-restricted, or non-drivers to get to their appointments and run their errands – to taking your children to school or their after-school activities. In addition to providing transport, we’ll help you find your appointment, carry your bags, and even put your shopping away if you’d like us to.
With a reliable and mindful approach, we care about people and want to promote independent living that doesn’t restrict your needs, or strain friends or family. The difference from other transportation providers is the companionship you get with each and every journey.
You can be confident that your driver will arrive on time and that you will be personally assisted to your appointment and picked up afterwards. Our customers become friends and you’ll have the opportunity to build a relationship with a driver who will get to know you and your needs personally.
We are also NDIS Registered Vendors.
Our local Freedom Drivers provide:
- A personal transport option for anyone unable to drive or no longer driving.
- Personal driving services for those wanting the confidence of getting to know their driver.
- Transport to medical and other appointments for those with injury or illness.
- Personal transport for seniors who require a little extra care and consideration.
- Personal transport for anyone of any age with mobility issues or other disabilities.
- Safe transport for children.
- A flexible personal driving service for tourists who do not wish to join groups or tours.

A Little More About Us
We drive you from A to B, but it’s the reliability and extra help you get at either end of the journey that makes the difference.
We love building positive, friendly, caring relationships and we’ll ‘go the extra mile’ everyday. We can take notes at your appointments; help with your shopping; make sure you get to the right place for your appointment in a busy clinic; and we make sure your child is safely taken to their destination and personally dropped off with the appropriate person.
If you’d like a scenic drive or outing on your own or with a friend or two – no problem – we can even stop for tea along the way.
Transport you can trust
Freedom Companion Driving offers a personal, caring, reliable (and often cheaper) alternative to taxis. You can trust our drivers to get you where you’re going, and provide extra support at either end of the journey.
Freedom has been a godsend to me. Trapped without transport and a work site not covered by public transport, I was in a quandary about how to get to work. Then I saw an ad for Freedom. Problem solved. My driver picks me up at Silverdale and takes me to work then returns me home. He is always punctual and the vehicle is always immaculately clean. Awesome! Thank you Freedom!

What a wonderful service Gavin provides. My elderly mum is now quite vulnerable, and certainly not able to drive and so Gavin has been a godsend, not only taking mum to and from appointments but also staying with her to make sure information is passed on to me when I can’t be there. I have found Gavin to be totally reliable and trustworthy and very caring. Thank you Gavin for your great service!

Freedom Drivers came to my rescue 18 months ago when I commenced my monthly trips the hospital. To be able to arrive relaxed and on time no matter what the traffic has been like with Freedom’s professional, caring and amicable Drivers is a big plus for me. I am always taken care of in a safe, pleasant manner and look forward to the companionship during our journeys which can be up to an hour each way. I can highly recommend Freedom’s valuable Companion Driving Service which has filled a gap in our community.

Hi there, I would like to pass on my gratitude to Pascoal. My dad had to have eye surgery, and Pascoal was very friendly and approachable. My parents don’t speak fluent English so Pascoal escorted them inside the clinic to make sure they got to the right place. Pascoal is amazing and we will definitely use his service again in the future. I highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Pascoal once again for helping my parents. Keep up the great service.

We had the pleasure of Katherine driving us to our appointment. She was on time & very helpful, car is always very clean inside & out, ask for Freedom Drivers every time, you will always be satisfied.

Laura from Freedom Drivers is absolutely awesome! She is flexible, reliable and a great communicator. For a very reasonable price she transports my young son safely across Auckland, charges his devices and chats to him about gaming (his favourite topic). I can’t recommend her more, we truly appreciate her professionalism and positive approach.

Daisy provides a professional and caring service which goes beyond the call of duty. She has become intuitive to my needs, and her willingness and kindness is much appreciated. Her dedicated service enables me to retain my independence but with the additional help which is invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend her services. Many thanks,
June Gooch
Daisy has been driving me to & from work for the last two years and everyday she provides the same high professional standards. Daisy is a naturally friendly & caring person who is only too happy to assist if needed. I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone.

I’d like to commend Daisy who has been transporting a foster child who was in my care and who has recently returned to her mother. Daisy quickly adapted when addresses and pick up locations changed and her communication with us was very good – we always knew what was happening or if there was anything we needed to know about. I would highly recommend Daisy’s services particularly for young people with high needs.
Trish, Social Worker
Fantastic service. Daniel very obliging and thoughtful. We would most definitely recommend him and will use his service again in the future.
Ross and Margaret Waugh
An absolutely wonderful service. I used Freedom Drivers and cannot speak highly enough of how efficient, helpful and friendly they are. It really took the worry out of hospital trips.
Dianna Stallinger
Hi, I would like to highly recommend Freedom Drivers, they were outstanding with their service, always very punctual and friendly. I have had 6 weeks with my left leg in cast unable to drive. They have taken the extra stress away by getting me to and from work. Compared to other services I believe Freedom Drivers are top of the bunch. Thanks again.
