As in everyday life, escort drivers are responsible for insuring their own vehicle. However, Operation Red Nose offers complementary insurance. Please ask the coordinators at your headquarters for all the details.
Most local host organizations offer compensation for fuel or electric charging for escort drivers. The method and amount of reimbursement may vary from one branch to another. Please contact your local organization for specific details.
A team member must inform the client that they unfortunately cannot provide the ride. These devices require specific training and are reserved for their owners, particularly due to the random tests required after the engine starts.
As in any everyday situation, escort drivers are responsible for ensuring their own vehicle against any potential damage. Operation Red Nose provides additional insurance coverage. You may contact your local headquarters to learn more about the details.
