Established Companion Driving Franchise

Why build a service business from scratch when a trusted brand is already in place?

Founded almost 13 years ago, Driving Miss Daisy Timaru is a well-established companion driving franchise specialising in safe, reliable, door-to-door transport with personal assistance and companionship. Operating under New Zealand’s leading companion driving brand, the business offers far more than transport, providing meaningful support to seniors, families, ACC clients, and those with mobility or special needs.

Based in Timaru and surrounding districts, the business services a large geographic territory and enjoys a loyal base of regular clients alongside a steady flow of new enquiries. Strong referral relationships, national partnerships, and high community visibility underpin consistent demand and an excellent local reputation.
