Summer Peak Is Coming – Is Your Driver Pool Ready?

Ensure your operations are fully staffed for the busy season ahead with DrivenPeople

As we head into the busy summer peak season, coach operators across the UK are gearing up for one of the most demanding times of the year. From school trips and music festivals to holiday tours and day excursions, demand for reliable, experienced coach drivers is about to surge.

At Driven People, we’re ready to support coach companies with flexible, dependable driver solutions to meet any level of demand – whether you need full-time drivers, cover for sickness and holidays, or a last-minute stand-in for a weekend job.

Why the summer peak hits the coach industry hard:

  • End-of-term school trips and activity weeks
  • Group travel and UK/Europe tours
  • Major summer events and festivals
  • Increased domestic tourism and shuttle services
  • Higher demand for private hire and family outings

With Driven People, you can build a pool of pre-vetted drivers – ready to go when you need them.

How we help coach operators stay in control:

  • Browse detailed driver profiles, including verified licenses, experience, and compliance docs
  • See ratings and reviews left by other operators before booking a driver
  • Build a trusted pool of drivers for regular or ad hoc use
  • Use our app to communicate directly and assign shifts in just a few taps
  • Reduce no-shows and lateness with our accountability system – drivers are rated after every shift and low-rated performers are removed from the platform

We know that during peak times, reliability is everything. That’s why we only work with drivers who turn up on time, act professionally, and maintain the standards your customers expect.

Ready to prepare for the summer rush? Get in touch today to start building your flexible driver pool.
