Northern Ireland has a strong and growing tourism market. The Causeway Coast, Belfast's attractions and the cruise ships that call at Belfast all depend on coach drivers in the busy season.
Belfast and Larne are major freight ports for traffic with Great Britain, and many operators run cross-border work into the Republic of Ireland.

Questions
Do you supply drivers for cross-border work?
Yes. Tell us the route when you book, and we will only put forward drivers who hold the right qualifications for driving professionally in the Republic of Ireland.
Whose licence checks do you use for Northern Ireland drivers?
Driving licences in Northern Ireland are issued by the DVA rather than the DVLA. so we check Northern Ireland licences with the DVA.
Why operators choose Drivora
Drivora is run by qualified transport managers with real operational experience. Between us we hold Transport Manager CPC qualifications for both HGV and PCV, and our founder has more than 20 years in road transport and still drives coaches and lorries today. We know the operator's side of the job, and that shapes the way we work with you.
Before we put a driver forward, we check their licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work, and their ADR card where the work needs one. We ask about the vehicle, the route and the load, and we only offer drivers who have done similar work before.
Our drivers are engaged through PAYE or properly vetted limited companies. You'll know who is coming and what it will cost before the job, and timesheets are kept digitally so the paperwork is simple afterwards.
