Airport chase-car valet for families
Drive your own car to the airport.
We'll bring it home.
A FamTravel chase car follows your family to departures. Unload at the curb, hand your keys to a vetted valet, and walk straight in — while your car heads back to your own driveway. When you land, it's waiting for you at arrivals.
Departure day, the FamTravel way
One car. Zero shuttles. Zero parking decks.
- 1 Your family drives to departures — kids in their own seats.
- 2 Our two-person chase car follows close behind.
- 3 At the curb: unload, hand over the keys, head to security.
- 4 Your valet drives your car back to your driveway or garage.
How it works
The easiest mile of your whole trip
Two FamTravel teammates dispatch in one chase car: a driver and a valet. You never ride with us, never transfer the kids, and never circle a parking deck with a stroller in the trunk.
Departure day
Book your escort
Tell us your flight and address. We time the chase car around live traffic and security waits, and track your flight all day.
Drive like normal
Leave home in your own car, kids buckled into their own seats. Your chase car meets you at the end of your street and follows to departures.
Hand off at the curb
Unload bags, pop out the car seats — or skip that entirely with our flight-ready rentals — and pass the keys to your vetted valet.
Car sleeps at home
Your valet drives your car back to your driveway or garage with live GPS tracking, then sends photo confirmation it's tucked in safe.
Welcome home
Wheels-down ping
We watch your return flight. Delays, gate changes, slow bags — your pickup adjusts automatically, no calls needed.
Your car comes to you
While you taxi to the gate, your valet drives your car to the airport — chase car close behind to bring them home after.
Curbside at arrivals
Step out with your bags and your car is at the curb — keys back in your hand, climate running, car seats right where you left them.
Just drive home
No shuttle, no parking receipt, no reinstalling seats in a cold garage at midnight. Buckle up and go.
Why families switch
Built around car seats, nap schedules, and tight connections
Kids ride in their own seats
No shuttle benches, no taxi roulette. Your children ride to the airport in the seats you installed and trust.
Vetted, insured valets
Employee drivers with clean records, background checks, and $1M primary insurance whenever your car is in our care.
Live tracking + photo proof
Watch your car's trip home in real time, and get a timestamped photo when it's parked in your driveway or garage.
EV friendly
We'll plug your EV in at home so you return to a full charge — instead of a parking-lot trickle and a cold battery.
Flight-aware, always
Both legs are scheduled off live flight data. A 3-hour delay means your car shows up 3 hours later — automatically.
Cheaper than the lot
A week of airport parking runs $150–$300. Your driveway is free, your car stays out of the weather, and break-ins stay theoretical.
Optional add-on
Flight-ready car seat rentals — so yours never leave the car
The worst part of flying with kids is wrestling car seats through a terminal. Reserve our flight-ready rentals when you book: your own seats stay installed in your car (which is waiting at home), and you travel with clean, certified seats sized to each child. Hand them back at arrivals when you land.
Trust & safety
We're handling your car, your kids' seats, and your keys
So we hold ourselves to an airline-grade standard. Every detail below is included on every trip — no upsell.
Vetted employee valets
W-2 employees — never a gig marketplace. Criminal background check, motor-vehicle-record review, and hands-on handoff training before their first trip.
$1M primary insurance
Your car is covered by $1M primary commercial insurance from the moment we take the keys to the driveway photo — above and beyond your own policy.
Dashcam on every drive
Each valet drives with a dashcam running. Every mile your car moves is recorded and retained for your peace of mind.
Live GPS, start to finish
Watch your car's trip home in real time in the app. No wondering where it is — you can see it on the map the whole way.
Secure key & garage access
Keys ride in a tamper-evident pouch in a monitored lockbox between legs. Garage codes are encrypted, single-use where supported, and purged after the trip.
Timestamped photo proof
The second your car is parked, you get a timestamped photo of it safe in your driveway or garage. Receipts for trust, not just billing.
Early families
Nobody misses the parking shuttle
“We made a 7:05 AM flight with three kids and nobody cried. Not even me.”
“Watching our own car pull into our own driveway from the departures lounge felt like a magic trick.”
“The seat rentals sold me — we walked through security carrying nothing but snacks.”
Why not just call an Uber?

Questions
Everything parents ask us
How is this different from Uber or Lyft?
Rideshare replaces your car; we keep you in it. Your kids stay in their own installed seats, your luggage is loaded once, and your car ends the trip in your driveway — not an airport lot. There's no curbside car-seat install, no surge pricing (your price is locked at booking), and the same two-person team handles your return. Rideshare is great for one person with a backpack; this is built for a family with a trunk full of gear.
Who exactly is driving my car?
A FamTravel employee valet — never a gig marketplace. Every valet passes a criminal background check and a motor-vehicle-record review, trains on our handoff protocol, and drives with a dashcam on. Your car is covered by $1M primary commercial insurance from key handoff to driveway photo.
How does my car get into the garage?
Your call. Most families leave the garage remote clipped to the visor, share a one-time keypad code in the app, or just have us park in the driveway. Codes are encrypted, single-use where supported, and purged after the trip.
What happens to my keys while I'm away?
For round trips, keys are sealed in a tamper-evident pouch and stored in a monitored lockbox at our local hub between legs. You can also opt to have us leave keys in your home via your smart lock.
Are the rental car seats really FAA-approved?
Our infant carrier and convertible rentals carry the FAA certification label — "certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft" — and the CARES harness is the only FAA-approved harness alternative for kids 22–44 lb. Two honest notes: the infant carrier is certified to install on the plane without its base (the base rides along for your car at the destination), and belt-positioning boosters are not approved for use during flight — airplane passenger seat belts are lap-only and a booster needs a shoulder belt — so we rent those for use at your destination only.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
We track your flight, not your booking time. Delays, gate swaps, and slow baggage all shift your pickup automatically at no charge. If your return is cancelled, we hold your car at home and rebook your delivery free.
How does the return actually work?
In reverse. Your valet drives your car to arrivals while the chase car follows. You walk out, load up, take your keys, and drive home. The chase car brings your valet back. If you rented seats, hand them to the valet — your own seats never left your car.
Is this really cheaper than airport parking?
For most trips, yes. A 7-day stay in an airport garage typically runs $150–$300 plus shuttle time with kids and luggage. A FamTravel round trip starts at $159 plus a 5% trust & safety fee (about $167 all-in for a nearby home), your car stays safe at home, and the curb handoff takes about eight minutes.
Can I book same-day?
We recommend booking at least 24 hours ahead so we can guarantee a chase team and prep any rental seats. Same-day requests are accepted when capacity allows — the app will tell you instantly.
