Ellerslie

Hi, my name is Richard Lu, and I’m very excited to be the new owner of Driving Miss Daisy Remuera and Ellerslie. 

I have lived in Auckland for almost 30 years, studying at Auckland Grammar and UOA with a degree in Biomedical Science. I previously worked for St John Medical Alarm department where I had the opportunity to interact with many elderly clients and understand the services Driving Miss Daisy provides. 

Across the two franchise areas, I have 9 vehicles including a VW Caddy wheelchair access vehicle. I lead a dedicated team of professional drivers who are committed to taking care of you.

Driving Miss Daisy is a wonderful service, not only supporting the elderly and injured but also assisting those who don’t drive. We offer our clients independence, safety, personal care, and cost-effective transport. We can even help with children, guiding them to and from school or extracurricular activities. Additionally, we assist family members in attending medical appointments, social events, or running errands.

We are a contracted provider for ACC and accept TMS (Total Mobility Scheme) cards, making our personalized services more affordable.

Driving Miss Daisy is a pre-booked, pre-quoted service, so you’ll always know when we’re arriving and how much it will cost—punctual and without surprises.

For those who aren’t fluent in English, we have Chinese-speaking staff who can help you book services and eliminate language barriers.

We also organize occasional social outing activities, offering a richer experience for seniors living alone.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you get out and about to enjoy everything life has to offer. Don’t hesitate to contact me.
