Driverseat

Join the Future of Transportation

About Us

Driverseat is North America’s fastest-growing transportation franchise. Serving over 400 communities with locations across Canada and the U.S., Driverseat offers innovative transportation options for people, businesses, and government agencies. As the leader in shuttle transportation services and the only international shuttle brand, Driverseat provides a service that can benefit your community.

Driverseat was founded in 2012 and began franchising in 2013. The two founding brothers had a mission to build a world-class franchise that would bring together like-minded entrepreneurs with a common purpose. They believe that with the right franchise partners, innovative technology and industry, along with the best training and support, they will realize that mission. 

Since then, franchise partnerships have been established across Canada and the United States. The business model was intentionally designed with a low cost of entry in an industry with significant top-line revenue opportunities. As a Driverseat franchise partner, you will be entrepreneurial with a focus on sales and business development. You’ll have the benefit of scaling the business as it grows, starting with a home office to keep overhead and capital requirements low in those critical first months.

The Business Model

Business operations are fully supported by industry-leading technology, which allows you to focus on the important elements of the business like recruitment of Chauffeurs, training, and growth. All trips are managed through the Sales Portal which performs the dispatch function for your business, linking clients directly to their personal Chauffeur.

Shuttle Services

The Shuttle Services business model is offered in mid-sized fleet vans. With four distinct revenue streams, you will build your fleet based on what the demands of the community are. Primarily focused on airport transportation, charters and tours (wine tours, craft brewery tours, sporting events, etc.), wedding shuttles, and assisted transport (known as Care+), you have a comprehensive service offering that solves many transportation challenges.

These services are intuitive to market, simple to price, and allow you to quickly build revenue in your business. Each pre-scheduled trip typically generates hundreds of dollars in average revenue. Shuttles are booked by the client often weeks or months in advance, and Chauffeurs are assigned to the specific job through the dispatch technology which then tracks every aspect of the service for you. Once you have built a solid foundation of consumer-based revenue, we will teach you how to pursue and develop contract opportunities with businesses and the local government. These opportunities create recurring revenue that allows you to scale your business to greater heights.

Chauffeur Services

The Chauffeur Services business model allows you to broker Chauffeurs (drivers) by the hour or by the trip, driving your client’s vehicle. This innovative service offering provides the flexibility and exclusivity that customers are looking for, all while saving them money. Whether we’re providing a Chauffeur to take someone home in their own vehicle when they are impaired (Designated Driver) or transporting someone home after a medical procedure, this ‘feel good’ service is exactly what many people need to solve a unique challenge.

These 3 consumer services are easy to market, are pre-priced, and involve you providing Chauffeurs to drive customers’ vehicles for them. Chauffeurs are assigned to the specific job through the technology, which then tracks every aspect of the service for you. The number of customers who need this service is unlimited. Your Terminal will provide a service with true purpose, as you keep impaired drivers off the road and provide a simple and cost-effective alternative for those who are unable or choose not to drive themselves.

Training and Support

Training and support are key to our franchisee’s success. The training starts before the location is open and continues regularly through opening, and ongoing beyond that. The training and support is the perfect mix of online material, live coaching, webinars, videos, conferences, and daily support.

• New Franchisee Training: This 4-week comprehensive training program is powered by Driverseat University, but with significant live coaching, training, video sessions, and workshops.
• Shifting Gears: This weekly webinar series has every franchise partner from across North America meet weekly with the founders and the head office support team to learn new marketing or operational programs, share with other franchisees and improve their business.

• Driverseat University: The most comprehensive and complete e-learning platform on how to run, manage and grow your business. This site is web-enabled and comes with a mobile app.
• Support Metrics: Weekly metrics allow you to see how your business is performing in key areas as compared to other Driverseat locations. An overall score helps you understand where to focus your efforts to drive customer engagement and revenue.
• Coaching Video Calls: Professional coaching on how to run your business, how to inspire your team, how to manage your finances, how to market your services, and so much more, is provided on an ongoing basis. This level of support and coaching is just so important as you navigate the various levels of growth.
• Daily Support App: Instant access to your support team through a communication app makes it easy and convenient for you to request assistance, or for our team to offer it. Simply message with a question and you will receive a live, quick, response so you can get on with your day and get the support you need.

• Million Dollar Club: Want to enter the Million Dollar Club support program? After hitting some pre-set targets, you will immediately qualify for entrance to a new level of support that will teach you how to build out a strategic plan for growing your business beyond the first million, assist you in setting up your financial budgeting to include additional support staff, and coach you on the most important aspects of leadership.
• Annual Conference: This four-day must-attend event is iconic. The content-rich conference allows all of our franchisees and much of their support team, spouses, partners, etc to get together with the head office team to learn, celebrate and share with one another.
