Zeelo’s team of transportation experts can deliver our technology enhanced service by working either with your in house fleet, existing Operator, or Zeelo’s vetted Operator network.

We inspect all operators before forming partnerships and we audit them every 6 months to ensure the highest safety standards.

Driver training and support

Our partner drivers are trained on using our technology and test-run your routes ahead of the big day to ensure a spotless launch.

If an issue occurs on the road, we’ll organise alternative transportation and keep everyone informed. We’ll then ensure it’s tackled at root cause so it doesn’t occur again.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need Zeelo to manage our transportation?

Zeelo believes that your organization should expect more from their school transportation than just “getting by”. By using data to make smarter transportation decisions, we aim to get more cars off the road, reduce congestion and pollution at the school gates and maximize your catchment area, whilst removing the headache of managing your own transportation.

Is this just going to cost me more money when budgets are already being squeezed?

We have demonstrated with our clients how they can actually save money with Zeelo! By optimising routes and providing more flexible ticket options we reduce the numbers of empty seats. By working with a variety of operators we can source the most appropriate sized vehicle for the job. Our fully managed service also removes a huge administrative burden, freeing up your team to do what they do best.

How does Zeelo create routes and timetables?

Zeelo uses its proprietary routing technology and your information to create optimised routes and schedules. When working with your team we will collect anonymised address data which will be analysed by our routing algorithm, generating routes customised to achieve your organisation's goals. We will also take into account the knowledge from your team and from operators to ensure maximum rider uptake on your routes. Before the service is launched, these routes will be checked and risk-assessed to be suitable for your students.

Where do you currently operate?

Zeelo currently operates nationwide in the UK, but also operates globally in the United States. Within the UK we operate contracts on behalf of schools from the south coast of England up to St. Andrews in Scotland, working with the likes of City of London Freemens, the Dwight School, Hartpury College, Leeds University, and many other forward thinking organisations.

How long do I have to commit for?

The length of a program is determined by your organization's needs. Length varies, but programs are typically 3-5 years, providing stability and consistency of service. However, we will look at specific shorter-term requirements where needed. Speak with our transportation experts to determine the best option for your program.

What vehicle sizes are available for my organisation?

Zeelo has a nationwide operator network that allows us to access vehicles from 16 seater mini-buses through to larger executive coaches and double deckers. Vehicle size will be determined based on your organisation's needs and providing the best value for money. Our flexible contracts with operators enable us to be proactive in making changes to services and vehicles as required.

How do you determine pricing?

After your introduction to Zeelo and a free non-obligation consultation, we'll provide you with a bespoke pricing proposal. Zeelo considers your organisation's specific needs when determining pricing. This includes routes, vehicle size, schedules, ticketing, customer support and more. There are no extra fees for additional support or training or the number of revisions to route planning. We work very closely with our clients to ensure their budget requirements remain a key focus and they get the most value for their money.
