Rideshare Service for Kids, Kango, Offering Election Day Solution

Local San Francisco rideshare company offering discount on childcare services for Election Day 2020

San Francisco, CA (November 2, 2020) - On Election Day, family rideshare and childcare service Kango is offering $20 off the first hour of childcare services for parents heading to the polls. Parents interested in booking Kango’s services can do so by downloading Kango’s app and entering code VOTE201.

Kango, headquartered in San Francisco with operations across California and parts of Arizona, is primarily an app-based service for scheduling rides for kids from preschool to high school. Drivers and caregivers, who must have previous experience in childcare, are rigorously pre-screened and undergo background checks. Recently, Kango has expanded to include delivery services and educational and tutoring resources while continuing the core mission of getting kids and families where they need to go.

Already a high-profile election year, this year’s voting is complicated by ongoing pandemic concerns. Parents who want to vote are taking additional precautions, and many are choosing to leave children at home when possible in efforts to avoid the crowds.
