Daycare rides in Berlin: to daycare and home again safely
PrimaFahrten organises rides to and from daycare when a child needs support for the journey. We agree times, suitable seating, mobility aids and the handover with parents and the facility. Rides to school go through our school rides page; school and work rides gives an overview.

Handovers without misunderstandings
For daycare rides, we agree in advance who hands the child over and who receives them at the destination. Please give us everyone who may hand over or collect the child, with contact details. Any necessary authorisations or handover arrangements are agreed with the parents and the responsible facility.
PrimaFahrten does not replace educational supervision; we organise the agreed transport and the safe handover. Children may also travel without a parent.
Seat, mobility aids and access
Describe how your child sits and which aids travel along: child seat, seat shell, rehabilitation buggy or a wheelchair with model and dimensions. Parents can bring the child seat, or PrimaFahrten supplies one as long as child seats are available. We can normally transport all wheelchair types; a rehabilitation buggy counts as one.
A child can remain seated in the wheelchair if it is built for occupied transport and can be secured for the specific ride. If there are stairs between home and vehicle, the stair-chair service can be considered. For that, describe the floor, the lift and the route to the vehicle.
Recurring planning
Recurring rides can be planned in advance. A request by email is especially useful because dates, changes and, where needed, a cost estimate can be coordinated clearly. Please report changes to times or pickup points as early as possible; they count as confirmed only after coordination. How recurring rides work in general is explained under regular rides.
How can the journey be paid for?
- Cost carrier
- Depending on the individual case and approval, a cost carrier may be responsible.
- Self-payment
- Individual cost estimate before the journey is confirmed.
- Billing
- We clarify the suitable billing route and the documents needed beforehand.
Who pays for the ride depends on the individual case; depending on the case, public bodies, a provider, the youth welfare office (Jugendamt) or private payment may come into question. For an overview of who pays for which ride, see Who pays for the ride?.
Send us the key details of your journey. We will review the individual arrangement and get back to you with the next steps.

Frequently asked questions
Does the ride replace the care provided by the daycare?
No. PrimaFahrten does not replace educational supervision. We organise the agreed transport and the safe handover.
Who may take over or collect my child at the daycare?
We agree this in advance with parents and facility. Give us names and contact details; where an authorisation is needed, parents and facility clarify it before the first ride.
Can I request a single ride?
The ride can be requested individually or regularly, as an outbound and return journey. The specific ride is planned only after individual confirmation.
Can my child stay seated in a rehabilitation buggy or wheelchair?
That depends on the model. A wheelchair can be transported occupied if it is built for that and can be secured for the ride. Give us the model and dimensions, and we clarify seat and securing beforehand.
