About the Franchise

Driving Miss Daisy offers a unique companion driving service that combines safe transport with friendly companionship, helping clients live more independent, connected lives.

The franchise serves seniors, people living with disabilities, children, and busy families needing reliable transport for activities such as medical appointments, shopping, pet vet visits, and school pick-ups.

Franchise partners benefit from strong national marketing support, digital lead generation, ongoing coaching, and detailed operational systems designed for compassionate care delivery.

How the Franchise Started?

Driving Miss Daisy began in New Zealand in 2008 when founder Melanie Harper started driving her aunt to appointments, recognizing the need for trustworthy companion drivers.

The concept grew rapidly into a business providing compassionate transport and companionship for elderly, disabled, and children requiring assistance.

The brand expanded internationally to the UK and Australia, where it is led by Stan Zets and Alan Branch, respected franchise professionals.

Driving Miss Daisy has provided nearly 2 million companion journeys globally and continues to grow its network across Australia with over 50 franchises.
