Adding a driver booking/holiday

Updated on 10 September 2026

Driver bookings allow you to manage staff availability by recording events such as annual leave, sickness, or training. 

Adding a booking ensures drivers marked as unavailable cannot be accidentally allocated to delivery runs within the Advanced Planning screen.

Adding a driver booking

Driver bookings can easily be added by users with access to the ‘Users & Drivers’ page.

  1. Navigate to ‘Users & Drivers’ in the menu
  2. Select the driver from the ‘Users’ list on the left-hand side
  3. Under the ‘Bookings’ section, click the ‘Add’ button
    1-KB-Add-a-booking
  4. Complete the booking details in the pop-up window:
    2-KB-Booking Details
  5. Click ‘Save’
  6. Once saved, the booking will appear in the driver’s ‘Bookings’ list

Please Note

If a driver has an active booking for a specific date range, Stream will mark them as unavailable in the Advanced Planning screen and prevent planners from assigning them to a delivery run which overlaps the booking.
