Verified Pickups. Trusted Drivers. Safe School Release.
Parents remain in charge of who drives. Schools verify in seconds with one scan. BubzRides records each pickup with a timestamp, creating a reliable log for both families and staff.
Why BubzRides?
Parents and schools already juggle multiple pickup cards, last-minute schedule changes, and uncertainty about who’s allowed to pick up a child. BubzRides makes this simple: one system, verified drivers, and a clear release log every time.
Child Safety First
Every driver in BubzRides is background checked, license and insurance verified and monitored for compliance. Only approved drivers of your choice can pick up-children. Each handoff is documented so parents and schools know their child is safe.
Reliable Coordination
BubzRides keeps everything in one place so families and drivers can stay on the same page. Parents connect with approved drivers through the platform, manage requests, and keep track of drivers they assign to each child. No scattered calls or texts, just a consistent system for coordinating pickups.
Clear Status Updates
Parents always know when driver is approved and active, and drivers keep families informed through the platform. Families can look back at past activity, giving both parents and schools confidence that every pickup was handled expected.
Hi, I’m Karolyn — mom, entrepreneur, and the proud founder of BubzRides.
As a working parent juggling a full-time job, business goals, and my son’s school schedule, I constantly asked myself the same question:
Who’s picking up Bubba today?
“Bubba” is my son’s nickname and the inspiration behind BubzRides. I didn’t just need a ride, I needed safe, reliable help from someone I could trust. And I knew I wasn’t the only parent facing this challenge.
That’s why I created BubzRides, a membership-based platform that helps families connect with independent, background-checked drivers in their local area. Parents choose who to work with, schools get a simple way to recognize approved drivers, and every family stays in control.
We don’t operate rides. We verify them. BubzRides is the tool families, schools, and independent drivers use to manage pickups the safe, coordinated way.
BubzRides is my promise to families:
A simple, safe, and trustworthy way to manage third-party pickups with confidence you can count on.
