The private van was the right call. The guesswork wasn't.
Closer pickups, flexible timings, a driver who knows your child by name. What's been missing is visibility — the peace of mind between the gate at home and the gate at school.
“Where's the van right now?”
See it move on a live map — no more calling the driver while he's driving.
“Who's driving today?”
Know instantly if a different driver or vehicle turns up for pickup.
“Did my child reach school?”
Get a ping the moment they're dropped at the gate — and again on the way home.
Keep your driver. Add Pluto.
No new van, no new routine. Pluto works with the driver your family already relies on.

Ride history
Every trip logged with times and route, so you can spot late pickups at a glance.
No more “is that my van?” at the gate.
Kids see who's coming before the van pulls up — the driver's face, name and vehicle — so they climb in with confidence, every single morning.
