FAQ
Will you watch my child enter my building?
If you have a doorman, the driver will wait for the doorman to greet your child. If you do not have a doorman, we will need to discus the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of your child.
How will my child know what vehicle to get in?
Kid Car NY vehicles are red, luxury minivans with our logo on them. Children will know their ‘Vehicle Number,’ which will be displayed in the window. Drivers also have a list of children riding in the vehicle for each trip.
What if my child is sick?
Parents should call Kid Car NY as soon as they know their child will not be picked up. Kid CarPool provides up to 3 sick days per semester without penalty.
How will I (or my child) know the vehicle has arrived?
Kid Car NY drivers are given a contact number to call when they arrive at the pickup location. Parents can designate this number to the child, coach, or caregiver. If children are being picked up at an activity, no call is required.
