Vano
For parents

Stop asking around the WhatsApp group

Every driver on Vano has had their CNIC, licence and vehicle papers read by a person before they can bid on your child's route. Post once, compare what comes back, and know where the van is every morning after that.

What you get

Everything the school run needs

Verified drivers only

A pending driver cannot see your route at all. Only drivers our team has approved — and who have added their service areas and photos of the van — reach your feed with an offer.

You set the budget

Post the monthly amount that works for you. Drivers bid against it and you can counter. There is no platform rate and no markup.

Live van tracking

Open Track Van Driver on any active contract while a child is aboard. The map shows the van's last position and the time it was recorded.

Alerts that matter

Picked up and dropped off, per child, for the morning leg and the afternoon one. The driver taps; you get told.

Reviews you can read

Every driver profile carries their rating and the full text of what other parents wrote — not a three-line preview.

All your children

Multiple children, multiple schools, multiple drivers, one login. Add a child at any time and post a route for them.

In-app chat

One thread per driver. Tell them about a holiday or a changed pickup point without sharing anything you would rather not.

Real schedules

Separate timings for Monday–Thursday, Friday and Saturday, taken from the school rather than assumed.

Already know a driver?

Add them by their phone number and invite them to bid on your route. Knowing someone does not skip verification — they still have to be approved.

Step by step

What it looks like on your phone

Four screens, in the order you meet them.

Vano parent app child profiles, each with school, class and age
Step one

Add your children, once

Name, gender, age, class and photo for each child, then the school — searched by name and confirmed with a pin on the map. School timings are recorded separately for Monday–Thursday, Friday and Saturday, so half-days are handled properly rather than averaged away.

  • One account holds every child, at every school
  • The school's location is a real pin, not a typed address
  • Timings follow the school's actual week

Step two

Post the route you actually need

Choose which children travel together, the pickup address, the drop-off, the days of the week, the morning and afternoon times, and the monthly budget you can manage. Add a note if there is something a driver should know. Approved drivers whose service areas cover you see it straight away.

  • Your budget is your figure — Vano sets no rate
  • Siblings can share one route or take separate ones
  • Say if the price is negotiable, or that it is not

Step three

Compare offers, not phone numbers

Offers arrive with a price, a message and the driver behind them. Open a profile to read their reviews, see the van and its plate, and check which areas and schools they already cover. Message any of them, send a counter-price, decline the ones that do not fit — then accept the one that does.

  • Best price is flagged, but nothing is auto-selected
  • Counter a price and the driver answers at your figure
  • Accepting turns the offer into a contract on the spot

Every day after

Follow the run, morning and afternoon

Your driver marks each child picked up and dropped off, on the way to school and on the way home. Every tap sends you a notification. While a child is aboard, Track Van Driver opens a live map of where the van is and when its position last updated.

  • Four moments a day, per child, both directions
  • The map runs from the first pickup until the last drop-off
  • The contract shows the agreed price, days and times
