Have you ever wondered how much time you spend driving your kids to and from school, sports clubs, friends and anywhere else they need to go? Sometimes, it can feel like you spend more time behind the wheel than anywhere else, and you could be right. 

We wanted to take a look at what a mum-run chauffeur service looks like, so we asked 2,000 UK mums who drive to tell us what they think about spending time in the car with their kids, and just how much driving they do.

While many mums accept the additional expense incurred whilst driving children around, one in twenty mums charge their children for all the journeys they make for them. The same number also agree to chauffeur their children in return for them doing some additional household chores. 

At the other end of the scale, Southampton and Oxford have the lowest proportion of mum drivers, with dads or other family members sharing the load. York, Wrexham and Aberdeen are close to a 50/50 split between mums and other drivers.

Whatever the reason is, on the whole mums really value their time spent in the car with their kids. Over a third say that driving with their children is a family bonding experience (35%), while 34% enjoy singing along to the radio with their children. Additionally, 21% say they have their most open and honest conversations in the car and 13% of mums admit driving their children around is their favourite part of the day.
