Kango is an app-based service that enables you to schedule rides for kids, from preschool to high school. Whether your child needs a ride to school every Monday or needs to get to soccer practice everyday after school, you can trust Kango to help get your kids where they need to go.
All pre-screened Kango drivers have experience caring for kids and must pass our rigorous selection process, which includes in-person interviews, background checks, fingerprinting, and more. When you sign up, you gain access to this group of providers and can request their help whenever you need it. The Kango service is fully insured and licensed by the Public Utilities Commission.
Our services are currently available in California, Arizona, and New Mexico, with plans to expand to more locations in the near future.

- Is there a restriction on age or number of children that can use Kango?
-
Kango is able to take care of children of any age. For rides, we ask that children under the age of 2 years old be accompanied by a parent or guardian. If your child requires a car seat or booster seat, just let us know and we’ll provide one at no extra charge.
Our sitters can care for several children at once, as long as it is agreed in advance. Our drivers can drive as many children as fit safely in their cars - ranging from approximately three in a sedan up to five in a minivan.
- For rides, does my child need to have a mobile phone?
-
No. Children do not need to have a mobile phone in order to ride with Kango. Before the ride, we make sure we have all the information we need in order to pick up, transport, and drop off your child(ren) safely. We are in touch with our drivers before, during and after the ride.
