Driving Miss Daisy on the subsidized transport scheme for eligible people
Driving Miss Daisy is an approved service provider for the Total Mobility Scheme which assists eligible people, (who do not drive a car) to access appropriate transport to enhance their community engagement.
This scheme provides its members with access to transport and the means to participate in their communities in whatever way they choose – helping to get people out and about; whether for work, taking children to and from school, to appointments, to libraries, shopping, volunteer activities, etc.
This assistance is provided in the form of subsidized door to door transport services.
The scheme is funded in partnership by local and central government and operated through local Regional Councils or Auckland Transport. Eligible customers present their Total Mobility card to access a 50% discount on eligible door to door transport. The subsidy varies across New Zealand anywhere from $10 - $40 maximum subsidy per trip.
So, don’t dilly dally, call us today and enjoy the comfort of a beautiful Daisy car transporting you wherever you need or want to go.

Someone knows these cats?
Hi neighbors , we found two cats wandering around near Sunderlands Road. Does anyone know who they belong to? They look a bit dirty and hungry, so we’re a little concerned about them. Please let us know if they are yours or if you recognize them. Thank you!
