KB CARS · SHIFT TRANSPORT

Early and late shift transport Built around your roster.

Plan staff collections for early starts, late finishes and changing shifts with our 24-hour office. Contact us for a quote based on your routes, timings and vehicle needs.

SHIFT PLANNING

Coordinate staff journeys with our office

Whether staff travel from several addresses or shifts finish at different times, our office can help agree a collection plan and the way changes are handled. A repeating roster does not mean one message automatically changes every individual booking.

If a driver has an emergency, the office first tries to find a suitable replacement and contacts you to discuss alternatives. If we cannot provide the agreed service, we will arrange an accepted alternative or cancel and refund the unprovided service as appropriate.

BUILD YOUR PLAN

Three decisions for the organiser

Agree the itinerary, communication and vehicle arrangement with our office before travel.

Roster and itinerary

Share the dates, collection addresses and preferred pickup order, arrival needs and passenger counts. Name the person authorised to approve the plan and request changes. KB Cars is registered with the ICO; our Privacy Notice explains how we handle booking information.

Booker and passenger contact

Decide who receives confirmations, who can request changes and how passengers can reach the office or their assigned driver. An employee travelling is not automatically authorised to add charges to an account.

Vehicles and luggage

Tell us about the number of people, luggage, unusual items and vehicle preferences. For larger groups or several addresses, the office can compare suitable arrangements; simultaneous cars or a coach are not assumed.

COLLECTION AND PAYMENT

Make collections clear and agree the quote

Identify the entrance or meeting point each passenger will use, along with any walking, access or assistance needs. The office and passenger can agree a lawful, workable alternative if the proposed pickup point cannot be used.

The office will quote for the agreed routes, timings, vehicles and any extras. An enquiry, quote or payment alone is not a confirmed booking; KB confirms a booking by SMS and/or email. You do not need an approved credit account to arrange travel: ordinary card or cash bookings remain available while an account application is considered. Monthly billing and credit terms are agreed when an account is approved.

VEHICLE OPTIONS

Choose an arrangement for your group

Six-passenger vehicles are our standard group option. Ask the office about seven or eight-plus passengers, additional vehicles, several addresses or an hourly arrangement. Passenger numbers and luggage need to be considered together.

GOOD TO KNOW

Questions about staff shift transport

Plan for roster changes, uncertain finishes and journeys involving several people.

How do we change a booking when the roster moves?

The booker or designated authorised contact should request the change through the office, including the affected time, addresses, stops, passengers or vehicle needs. A message or app request is pending until KB accepts the change and confirms it by SMS and/or email; acknowledgment of receipt alone is not acceptance. For an urgent change, call the office if your message has not been confirmed.

What if a shift finishes later than planned?

Choose between contacting the office when the passenger is ready, reserving the driver to wait, or agreeing an approximate return as a separate booking. A car booked when ready is subject to availability; waiting is chargeable under the agreed terms. Contact the office if a separate return is delayed, as waiting or changes can affect the cost. A separate return does not automatically retain the outward driver or vehicle.

Can an employee change the journey with the driver?

Passengers can coordinate with the assigned driver during an accepted journey, but material changes must go to the office. A different destination, stop, time or vehicle may require acceptance and a revised quote; it is not a new direct-driver booking.

Can you plan a conference shuttle or several staff pickups?

Yes. The office can plan multiple pickups, airport, hotel and venue legs, additional cars or return waves; a driver can shuttle back and forth when arranged. Discuss group sizes, addresses, intervals, event times and the primary contact. Simultaneous availability, a coach, venue access and passenger marshals are not assumed.
