Freedom Companion Driving - Wellington North

Our mission is to empower you to live a fuller, more independent life. We believe transport should never be a barrier to your well-being, social life, everyday needs or essential appointments.

You’ll find a local Freedom Driver near you, wherever you live in New Zealand. Our local companion drivers provide more than just a ride – they offer dedicated, door-to-door support to ensure you arrive safely, on time, and without stress. We are the trusted partner for seniors, people recovering from illness or injury, and those with mobility challenges.

Our commitment to reliable, caring support extends to your whole family. We provide safe travel for children and teens to school and activities, and we’ll even make sure your pets get to the vet.

We are proud to be ACC Registered Vendors and service providers for the Total Mobility (TM) scheme, accepting TM cards, vouchers, and ‘taxi chits’ in most areas to make your journey seamless.

A message from the owner of the Wellington North franchise

Hello, I’m Shekar – Franchise Owner of Freedom Companion Services, Wellington North

Originally from India, I’ve called New Zealand home since 2012. Over the past decade, I’ve developed strong ties within the Wellington community and a deep appreciation for its people and neighbourhoods.

With a background in IT and telecommunications, I bring a practical, problem-solving approach combined with a genuine passion for helping others. Through Freedom Companion Services, I provide meaningful, person-centred support tailored to individual needs.

My services are designed to support people of all ages and abilities, including:

• Transport to medical appointments
• ACC client support
• School runs and after-school transport
• Caring transport for individuals with disabilities
• Help with shopping and daily errands
• Scenic outings and social trips
• Airport drop-offs
• Wheelchair-accessible vehicle service

Whether it’s maintaining independence, staying socially connected, or simply making life a little easier, I’m committed to providing respectful, reliable, and compassionate care.

I chose Freedom because its values of community, dignity, and connection resonate deeply with me. Being part of this trusted network allows me to focus on what matters most—making a positive difference in people’s lives.

If you or someone you care about is looking for trusted companion services in the northern suburbs of Wellington, I’d love to help.
