Affordable, clear pricing
Pricing is kept clear and affordable, with the quotation matched to the route, journey time, selected vehicle and any practical support requirements recorded at booking. Longer mileage and airport work use market-calibrated adjustments while remaining route based.
Where a booking confirmation states that the fare is fixed, it applies to the confirmed route and stated conditions. Material changes to route, stops, timing or requirements can require a revised quotation.
Choose the right vehicle and journey details
Available vehicle classes cover everyday saloon travel, executive journeys, larger groups and accessible requirements. The booking details are used to match capacity and practical needs before confirmation.

Frequently asked questions
Can I book a journey from Richmond?
Yes. Enter the exact pickup in Richmond and the real destination so SwiftLane can calculate the route and confirm the requested service.
Can I arrange a regular school run?
Yes. Regular transport can be planned for selected weekdays, morning journeys, afternoon journeys or both, subject to confirmation of the schedule and safeguarding arrangements.
Are DBS checks used for school transport drivers?
SwiftLane records and verifies relevant driver documentation for school work. Where DBS evidence is required for an assignment, it must be verified before that work is allocated.
Can I book only morning drop-off or afternoon pickup?
Yes. The requested direction and schedule can be recorded separately so the quotation reflects the actual journeys required.
Does SwiftLane decide free school transport eligibility?
No. Local-authority eligibility is decided by the relevant authority. SwiftLane can provide private pre-booked transport independently of that decision.
