Coach+ complements your existing contracts. It’s perfect for situations where your regular vendor is unavailable, you’re required to obtain multiple quotes, or your students are travelling out of the area.

Our platform gives you access to additional vetted operators who meet the highest safety standards, ensuring you can always secure safe and reliable transportation.

Coach+ is not a broker. We don’t take your reservation or set prices. Instead, we provide a marketplace where schools can work directly with operators. This means transparency, control, and no unexpected surprises.

Brokers are great for different clients. Private groups, for example, might be more concerned with price and prioritizing transportation no matter the circumstances. They may not care who is transporting them. 

Schools, on the other hand, prioritize the circumstances to determine who is qualified to transport their students. 

Generally speaking, the broker model is not well suited for schools, but Coach+ specializes in meeting school requirements.

Every operator on our platform undergoes a rigorous manual verification process, which includes regular reviews of company and driver safety records to ensure they meet the highest school district standards.

Our hand selected service providers are also prepared to meet school specific insurance requirements and contract language. 

Many school districts have contract, insurance, and safety requirements that private clients do not. Some schools must also obtain multiple quotes. Our platform meets all these requirements and more!

Simply fill out a single form detailing your trip and requirements. Operators who meet your criteria will send quotes, which you can compare and choose from. Once you select an operator, you’ll work directly with them to finalize the details.

Generally, brokers provide “instant quotes,” which tend to be low cost estimates. Then, the trip is shopped to various operators to see if anyone is willing to do the trip at that price.

If an operator has availability and is willing to work at that price, they will book it. However, the operator will commonly keep the dates available to the public. Then, if they’re able to book the dates at their regular rate, they’ll cancel with the broker, leading to a late stage operator and/or pricing change. . 

This might not matter to a private client, but schools depend on knowing who is transporting their children. These last minute changes leave schools to make a difficult decision between student safety and canceling a trip.

The system facilitates seamless communication, so changes can be managed directly with the service provider. They will confirm changes, update contracts, and notify you if the change results in a pricing change.

It’s very rare, but issues can occur. For example, a driver gets sick and another driver isn’t available. We’ll work with you to resolve the situation quickly, including help finding an alternative operator if necessary.

Coach+ is completely free for schools to use. There are no membership fees or hidden costs.
