With over 15 Years of Global Operation and 54 Australian Daisy Franchise Partners, we offer the Turn-Key Model.
In every country that Driving Miss Daisy operates in, there are not enough Daisy Vehicles to meet the demand for passenger services from the ever-increasing number of people over 65 years of age.
As per the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), 4.2 million people or 17.2% of the total Australian population are aged 65 or over. Additionally, NDIS participants: children, young people and the ageing with disabilities, all need the companion services provided by Driving Miss Daisy
Busy parents need us to safely take their children to school and activities.
NDIS participants and those recovering from injuries need us to help them access their support and therapies.
The ageing population requires friendly and reliable companion drivers to help them engage with their community, enjoy social outings, and complete daily tasks.
Already the No. 1 Companion Driving Service in New Zealand, the demand for our services is rapidly growing in the Australian market. Don’t miss your chance to enter this untapped but highly purposeful industry.
Driving Miss Daisy’s service begins with a knock on the passenger’s front door with smile, assisting with locking up the home and helping them into the Daisy Vehicle. If it’s raining, the Daisy companion provides an umbrella or a prearranged wheelchair. Then, it’s off to doctor’s appointments, shopping, pet visits to the vet and much more.
It’s no wonder people do not compare us with a taxi or Uber, each passenger received so much more – at a price that is very comparable.
Everyone knows they can rely on us to return them safely and securely, even passengers with dementia or autism.This is why people refer to Driving Miss Daisy as family when family cannot be there™.
The Driving Miss Daisy franchise system starts with a home office and one Daisy Vehicle but has the potential to grow into a large business. In New Zealand, franchise owners average nearly four vehicles each.
In Australia, all of our franchise partners have acquired a second Daisy Vehicle within the first 12 months of operation.
As your business grows, you employ additional drivers and expand your client base with the help, training, and resources provided by Driving Miss Daisy HQ. Leads for passenger bookings come in from:
