Frequently Asked Questions

What is Koala Kruizers?

Koala Kruizers is a personalized door-to-door transportation service. We transport kids to school, day care, and extra curricular activities. We take adults to medical appointments, errands, and weekly meetings. We currently have 18 vehicles in our fleet, including 4 equipped with a wheelchair lift.

Who can use Koala Kruizers?

We transport anyone who needs a  reliable ride! Our most frequent riders are kids and adults who don't drive themselves. We can offer anyone a ride that is secure, personalized, and affordable.

How do I know my driver and vehicle are safe?

All of Koala Kruizers' drivers must pass a rigorous background check, driving records check, fingerprinting, and drug screening, in addition to our interview screening process. We pride ourselves in selecting only the best of the best for your security.

Each of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles are inspected and approved by EMS. Koala Kruizers' entire fleet is roadworthy and ready to serve you!

What days and times can I get transportation

We are a 24/7 transportation provider. That means we can schedule rides on weekends or evenings! You can call our offices Monday-Friday, 7am to 5pm or request a ride online.

How is this different from Uber or Lyft?

We love Uber and Lyft for traveling outside the area, but Koala Kruizers is a local, small-staff transportation company with a few key differences.

Routines:
We can accommodate your regularly-scheduled routes and routines—unlike either of these services which won't schedule your repeated trips.

Consistency:
No more review-checking or guesswork! You'll probably see the same few qualified Koala Kruizers drivers if you ride with us regularly—instead of a virtually unlimited pool of potential drivers. Our drivers will even walk you to your door to ensure your safety.

Accessibility:
Our transportation options range from private car, to minivan, to wheelchair lift-equipped bus.

Cost:
By booking ahead with us, you'll save a significant amount month-over-month vs. other direct-to-destination transportation.

How long have you been in business?

We started in 1995, so we've been serving the Stark County area for over 25 years!

How far ahead do I have to schedule?

We will do our best to accommodate any transportation requests. However, we typically require a 5-day window, so we can make sure our team is ready to serve you!
