Safety
Your child’s safety is never compromised.
Safety isn’t a feature. It’s the whole point. Here’s exactly how we look after every learner, on every journey.
Our safety standards
Strict standards, every single trip.
These are rules we never bend, because your child’s safety is not up for negotiation.

- Obeying all road traffic laws
- Clean, well-maintained vehicles

The line we hold
Safety is not a box we tick. It is the reason we exist. No shortcut, no rushed morning, no off day ever changes that. Your child comes first, and stays first, from the first stop to the last.
A chaperone on every trip
Never just a driver.
Every Beremi vehicle carries a dedicated Scholar Transport Chaperone. That means the driver can focus entirely on the road, while your child is cared for the whole way. It is one of the reasons parents choose Beremi, and one of the questions parents ask about most.

Safety questions
What should every parent check?
The things families most want to be sure of before enrolling. More on our FAQ page.
What should parents look for when choosing scholar transport in South Africa?
South African law and the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) recommend that parents check a few things before enrolling a child with any scholar transport service: a valid Professional Driving Permit (PrDP) for every driver, a current operating licence from the Provincial Regulatory Entity, a roadworthy certificate and valid licence disc on every vehicle, Passenger Liability Insurance, and one seat with a working seatbelt for each child so there is no overloading. It is also worth confirming there is proper supervision on board. At Beremi, that means a dedicated chaperone on every trip.
Is Beremi Scholar Transport licensed and insured?
Yes. Beremi Scholar Transport holds a valid operating licence, our vehicles carry current roadworthy certificates, and we have Passenger Liability Insurance in place, so every child on board is properly covered. For privacy and security reasons we prefer not to publish these documents on the website, but any prospective client who would like to verify them is welcome to ask, and we will gladly provide proof on request.
Is it legal to transport children in the back of a bakkie?
No. Under South African law it is illegal to transport children in the goods compartment of any vehicle, including bakkies and light delivery vehicles. Scholar transport operating licences specifically prohibit it. Every learner must have a proper seat with a working seatbelt, and a vehicle may never carry more children than there are seats. It is one of the most common causes of preventable scholar transport injuries in South Africa, and one of the reasons parents should always check what kind of vehicle their operator uses.
What does the Beremi Chaperone do?
Our Chaperone looks after the full learner experience during the trip. That means greeting learners as they board, helping younger learners safely in and out of the vehicle, taking daily attendance, making sure every learner wears their seatbelt where fitted, supervising behaviour, keeping learners seated, walking younger children to school entrances where needed, confirming every learner is safely collected, and keeping parents informed when required. The goal is a calm, respectful and caring environment on every journey.
Safety you can see. Peace of mind you can feel.
