About Driving Miss Daisy Tablelands
I’m Trish Degnian, the franchise owner and friendly face behind Driving Miss Daisy Tablelands. Launched locally in Atherton to service the Tablelands region, Driving Miss Daisy provides a safe, friendly and reliable companion transport service. My very recognisable blue daisy car affords easy passenger access, storage for wheelchairs, walking frames and shopping and a safe, comfortable ride.
The service stands apart from the taxis and other rideshare services. Driving Miss Daisy Tablelands provides more than transportation. As a Driving Miss Daisy franchise owner and driver I have been vetted by an Australian Police Check. I hold a current First Aid Certificate and have completed an Introduction to Dementia training. I also hold Blue and Yellow Cards and a Small Passenger Vehicle Licence giving you and your family peace of mind.
How Does Driving Miss Daisy Work?
I call myself a companion driver. I will meet someone at their door, make sure they have everything with them and help them to the Daisy car, assisting where needed.
Once at the destination, I can walk with the passenger, sit with them while they wait for their appointment and be there for them when the appointment has finished.
My service takes special care of the elderly and those living with dementia, disabilities, or restricted mobility. As well as providing transport to appointments, I can take people on social engagements/outings, scenic drives, grocery shopping or other shopping trips. If two or three friends would like to go on a special outing together, this can also be arranged.
How much does Driving Miss Daisy Cost?
We are considered to be affordable and extremely cost effective. All jobs are pre-quoted and based on time, distance travelled and the special needs of the passenger.
Pre-booking is essential. Please phone Trish on 0498 502 726 to discuss your requirements or to make a booking. Email enquiries to tablelands@drivingmissdaisy.com.au
