StarNetwork is designed exclusively for
adults who are 50+.It’s a private ride service that is safe, affordable, and reliable.
Your primary customers are
adults who are 50+ who want to go where they want when they want. This service is not just for medical appointments, and customers do not need a cane or a walker to ride. The service is for older adults who want to go to the store, the theater, or even an ice cream shop. As a driver, you will help your customers connect or reconnect with their communities, maintain their routines, and be treated with respect. Because some customers use the service frequently, you may have some regulars.Always be friendly, professional, and respectful. Older adults are mature and independent, with minds, interests, and the ability to express themselves on their own. To that end, avoid elderspeak.€”and talk to older adults in the same way that you would want to be treated. Avoid discussing hot-button topics like religion or politics.

Door-to-Door We pick up customers at their first-level lobby area or front door. We’ll be happy to offer customers a guiding hand or a shoulder to lean on.
Door-Through-Door We meet customers at their front door and drop them off at the front door on any floor of their destination building. Again, we’ll provide personal assistance if asked to do so.
Round-Trip Stay Drivers remain with customers throughout their journey even if more than one destination is involved. This eliminates the need for multiple drop-offs and pickups. Personal assistance is offered on request.

In addition, many businesses partner with StarNetwork and offer discounts to its independent contractors.
