The Evans School car service — school runs by a named driver
Morning drop, afternoon pickup, practices and late nights — one licensed driver your family knows, a text to you at pickup and drop, and a flat price agreed up front and held for the school year.
Who we drive to The Evans School
The Evans School, 6510 La Jolla Scenic Drive South, La Jolla, CA 92037. A coeducational day school for students in Junior Kindergarten through Sixth Grade, founded in 1958. Families we serve here usually ride in from La Jolla, University City, Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Pacific Beach, Clairemont, Point Loma and Rancho Santa Fe. On our rate map the campus sits in Zone 2.
Bell schedule: The school does not publish its bell schedule on the pages we checked — confirm the bell schedule with the school and we set the pickup to land ahead of it. Younger riders ride with a parent as the account holder and a booster or car seat you supply; the driver follows the school's own release rules at the gate.
| What families book | How it runs |
|---|---|
| Morning drop, Monday–Friday | Fixed pickup time at home, same driver, text on arrival at school |
| Afternoon or after-practice pickup | Set time, or a text window when practice runs late |
| Two days a week, or alternating weeks | Built around a work schedule or a two-home calendar |
| Games, rehearsals, tutoring, airport runs for school trips | Added to the same account, quoted flat in advance |
Why parents choose a named driver over a rideshare
- No teen rideshare in San Diego. Uber’s 13–17 teen accounts run only in Los Angeles and San Francisco and Lyft Teen is not offered here, so a solo rider under 18 is outside both platforms’ terms and they are not a school-run option.
- One driver, not a rotating pool. Standing routes run with the same driver whenever the schedule allows.
- You stay in the loop. A text at pickup and at drop, every run.
- Licensed, insured charter carrier. CPUC TCP #0046494-A, commercial insurance, quiet all-electric cars.
- Flat and predictable. Quoted once for the route, held for the school year — no surge on rainy mornings.
We ask only for what the route needs: days, times and your neighborhood. Anything about your student is shared on your terms, once you sign up.
How school runs are priced
Your per-run rate is quoted by the owner for your exact route and held for the school year. One run = one pickup to one drop, up to about 10 miles. Each additional stop adds $35. Waiting beyond 10 minutes adds $1 per minute. Pickups after 8 PM add $15. A single, non-weekly ride is quoted separately from a weekly rotation.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| One run — one pickup to one drop, up to about 10 miles | Your per-run rate (quoted, held for the school year) |
| Each additional stop (a second school in the same run, a second home, a practice field) | + $35 per stop |
| Waiting beyond 10 minutes (a bell wait, a late practice) | + $1 per minute |
| Pickup after 8 PM | + $15 |
Seats and the waiting list: Standing weekday seats are limited and run on a waiting list. Your per-run rate is quoted when your seat opens and is held for the school year; rates step up as seats fill, so earlier families keep lower rates. Hold your seat early for The Evans School.
Call or text (858) 522-0264 with the addresses, days and bell times and the owner quotes your route, usually the same day.
Questions The Evans School parents ask
Can my teen take an Uber or Lyft to The Evans School?
No. In San Diego, Uber and Lyft have no teen-account option (Uber's 13-17 teen rides run only in Los Angeles and San Francisco; Lyft Teen is not offered here), so an unaccompanied rider under 18 is outside both platforms' terms and drivers cancel. EGT is a licensed charter carrier (TCP #0046494-A) and runs school routes with a parent as the account holder and one named driver.
How much is a car service to The Evans School?
School routes are owner-quoted for your exact route and held for the school year, never metered. The Evans School sits in Zone 2 of our rate map. One run is one pickup to one drop (up to about 10 miles); each additional stop adds $35, waiting beyond 10 minutes adds $1 per minute, and pickups after 8 PM add $15.
Is there a waiting list for a standing school-run seat?
Yes. Standing weekday seats are limited and run on a waiting list. Your per-run rate is quoted when your seat opens and is held for the school year; rates step up as seats fill, so earlier families keep lower rates.
Do we get the same driver every day?
Yes. Standing school routes are run by the same named driver whenever the schedule allows, and the parent gets a text at pickup and at drop-off.
What time do you pick up for The Evans School?
We set the pickup around the school's bell schedule. The Evans School does not publish its bell times on the pages we checked, so confirm the bell schedule with the school and we build the pickup time to land ahead of it with a margin for traffic.
Can you cover practices, games and late pickups too?
Yes. Activity runs, late pickups after practice or rehearsal, and airport runs for school trips can sit on the same account, quoted flat in advance.
