Drive Smart is more than a part time job.
How it
Works
We drive customers home in their own vehicle, usually after a visit to a pub or restaurant when they can’t legally drive themselves. We do this by working in pairs, with one person driving the customers car, and the other following behind.
Why work With Us?
Choose When You Can Work
We build the schedule based off the days you tell us you can work. Time off is unlimited
Apply Alone or With a Friend
You can either apply on your own, and we’ll pair you up with someone. Or, you can apply as a pair with a friend or family member
Get Paid Weekly
We know this is a part time job for most of our drivers and chasers, so why not pay quickly? Payouts are on Monday for the previous week

You can work as a Driver, Chaser or apply as a Team. A Team is made up of two applicants who want to work together. A team must have both a driver and a chaser.
1. Drivers
Drivers drive the customers car, alone with the customer, to their end destination.
2. Chasers
They follow behind in their car, picking up the driver at the end destination
