What actually happens when you book Driving Miss Daisy New Forest SW?

It's a question we're sometimes asked - because we're completely different from a standard taxi service.
Our support doesn't start or end at your front door. Your Companion Driver can help make sure you're ready to go - coat on and bag ready with the things you need, they can help you lock up and get safely into the vehicle. They can accompany you into an appointment or activity, wait for you or stay with you, and help you with bags. And they will always make sure you're safely back home afterwards.
And, of course, there's usually plenty of conversation along the way. 💛
It's not just about the transport - it's knowing someone is there with you.

What a summer it's been! 🌼

As we reach the August Bank Holiday, we've been thinking about some of the wonderful people we've met, places we've visited and memories we've been lucky enough to be part of.

From important appointments and everyday errands to lunches, days out, family celebrations and adventures around the New Forest, every journey has had its own story. And thankfully, summer isn't quite over yet!

Here's to more journeys, conversations and adventures together. 💛

Not all of our passengers have two legs...🐾

Our Companion Drivers have met some wonderful canine passengers over the years. From Daisy, the magnificent French Mastiff, to the incredible assistance dogs who play such a special role in their owners' lives.

And, of course, we couldn't celebrate without including one of our very own pooches!

This week at Driving Miss Daisy New Forest 🌼

It's been another busy week for our Daisy team. With the traffic being affected by the recent wildfires, we're pleased to have ensured that every client reached their destination safely and on time.

This week, our journeys have included:
🏨 Accompanying a lady to her CT scan appointment at Royal Bournemouth Hospital
🏥 Taking clients to appointments with the chiropractor, dentist, doctor and ear clinic
💒 Supporting a lady attending a funeral, who appreciated having one of our companions by her side throughout the service
🌳 Enjoying lunch at Otter Nurseries and a couple of scenic drives across the forest
🛍️ Offering practical support and friendly company during a weekly shopping trip
🐾 Taking lovely Luna the cat to her vet appointment - because our four-legged passengers deserve the same care and attention too!

Every week and every journey is different. Sometimes it's an important appointment; sometimes it's a practical errand; and sometimes it's simply the opportunity to get out, enjoy the view and feel part of the local community.

That's what Driving Miss Daisy is all about: companionship, care and independence.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀!
For the past eight days, firefighters and emergency crews have worked tirelessly to help keep the New Forest, its communities and its wildlife safe.

Friday's nationwide government emergency alert was a stark reminder of just how serious the wildfire risk has become following the prolonged hot, dry weather.

With rain finally forecast this week, we're hoping it will bring some much-needed relief. In the meantime, please continue to take extra care and follow all fire-safety guidance.

From everyone at Driving Miss Daisy New Forest, thank you to our firefighters and all those supporting them for your courage, dedication and many hours of hard work. Our beautiful Forest is incredibly precious, and we are so grateful for everything you do to protect it. 💙

Kind words mean more than you might realise 💙

"Absolutely brilliant company. Staff are all so kind, caring and patient. They always go the extra mile to make sure their clients have a lovely outing. They take extra time to see that their clients are safely back into their house and happy. So very many thanks to them for their fabulous service"

We're always grateful when a client or family member takes the time to share their experience of Driving Miss Daisy New Forest.

Your reviews not only mean a great deal to our team, they also help other local families find us when they may need a little extra support, companionship or assistance getting out and about.

Thank you for trusting us to support you and your loved ones. It's a privilege to be part of your journeys.

Would a little extra support make it easier for you or someone you care about to get out and about each week?

Perhaps you need help with the weekly shop and a few errands. Maybe you would enjoy a regular trip to a favourite coffee shop, garden centre or local beauty spot. Or perhaps you simply miss having somewhere to go and someone friendly to share the outing with.

Our companion service offers much more than transport. We collect you from home, provide practical support throughout your journey or outing and make sure you return home safely and comfortably.

We support clients with a range of mobility needs, including people who use wheelchairs, or mobility aids. Every journey is planned around the individual, with the extra time, care and reassurance they need. In the interview below, you can listen to what one of our regular clients says 👇

We currently have a limited number of weekly slots available for 🛍️ Shopping and errands, ☕ Coffee outings and 🌳 Trips to favourite local places. Whether it becomes a practical weekly trip or something enjoyable to look forward to, we are here to help you continue doing the things that matter.

And of course we are always able to help with those all important 🗒️ Medical and hospital appointments as well.

Sometimes the journey is only a small part of the day.

For many of our clients, having someone alongside them can make all the difference, whether it's getting safely to an appointment, enjoying a trip out, doing a little shopping or simply having someone to chat with along the way.

One of the things we love most at Driving Miss Daisy New Forest is getting to know the people we support.

No two journeys are quite the same, and often it's the conversations, laughs and little moments along the way that we remember most. Getting from A to B matters but so does how you feel along the way.

Every passenger has a story...and sometimes they have whiskers.
Today, on International Cat Day, we're celebrating one of our very special four-legged passengers.

This lovely cat recently travelled with us to a veterinary appointment, making the journey safely alongside their owner. We know that trips to the vet can be stressful for both pets and their humans, so being able to offer a calm, reassuring journey makes all the difference.

We believe every journey should be as comfortable and caring as possible - whether you're travelling on two legs or four.

Happy International Cat Day to all the wonderful feline companions who brighten our lives every day. 🧡🐾
