How it works · for operators

From sign-up to your first daily run.

1
Sign up as an operator
Register your licensed car company and complete operator setup — company details, licensing authority and the towns you serve.
2
Get vetted by our team
Upload your compliance pack — operator licence, hire-and-reward insurance, DBS policy and safeguarding. Our trust team verifies every document before you go live.
3
Upload drivers & availability
Add your drivers, their vehicles and Enhanced DBS status, and set each driver's weekly availability across the AM and PM peaks.
4
Get assigned to verified orbits
We introduce your cleared drivers to verified school bubbles that match their route and availability — and confirm the assignment with parents.
5
Run your daily pickups
Start recurring pickups and drop-offs with your assigned bubbles — every run tracked end-to-end, with safe-pass boarding logged.

Three demand streams

Stable, scheduled, term-time demand.

School-run work is the most predictable mileage in private hire — same families, same routes, five mornings a week. KinOrbit aggregates it into one book.

Orbit Plus families

Premium families booking vetted, recurring drivers through the Trusted Circle marketplace.

Council statutory transport

Eligible-learner journeys overlaid on your existing operator framework — SEND-ready.

School cohorts

School-organised group runs and after-club shuttles, scheduled and tracked.

Vetting & compliance
What you own

The safeguarding stack stays with you.

KinOrbit is B2B2C — you keep full control of driver vetting and compliance, while we bring the demand and the parent-facing experience.

  • ✓ Enhanced DBS driver eligibility
  • ✓ Vehicle compliance & MOT
  • ✓ Ongoing monitoring & incident handling
  • ✓ ~6-week onboarding
