Find another parent on your route, agree who drives when, and split the driving. School Run is a free school-run carpool for Irish parents - a simple way to share lifts and stop doing the drop-off solo every single morning.
Tell us your school, the days and times you travel, your approximate area, and whether you're offering a lift or looking for one.
We match by school, route and timing. You only ever see an approximate area - never anyone's exact address - until you both choose to connect.
Send a connection request with a short message. Your verified phone number is shared only when the other parent accepts - then you arrange the pick-up spot between yourselves.
Message to agree who drives which days, then mark the run as “sorted” so it drops out of your matches. Change your mind, pause, or leave any time - holidays and swaps are easy.
School Run is a free service that matches parents at the same school who travel the same route, so you can share the school run and take turns driving the drop-off and pick-up.
It's completely free - no subscription and no booking fee. No money changes hands between parents through the app; lifts are shared on a goodwill basis. For how sharing fuel costs can affect your insurance, see Trust & safety.
Your exact address is never shown - other parents see only an approximate area until you both choose to connect. Every member verifies a phone number, you can report or block anyone, and because we're in beta we ask you to meet at the school gate before sharing any lifts. More on the Trust & safety page.
School Run is built for Irish schools and is currently in beta with a small number of schools. If your school isn't listed yet, you can request it when you sign up.
Your verified phone number is shared only after you and another parent both accept a connection - never before. It's how we keep the community to real, contactable people.
