How much should I pay to a neighbor who will pick up my child and drive her to school if she’s taking her kids there anyway? 10 miles away/25 min drive.

Also- how much should I pay to a friend who lives 8 minutes away but I’m on her way to drop my daughter off from school? Same situation 10 miles away/25 min away she has kids going there anyway

I had a similar situation. I had a friend who passed my house every day and was going to the same place take my son to school. We also waited outside for her so as to make it as easy as possible. It was only a 10 minute drive so I paid her 20 a week.

Does $10 each way/$50 per family per week seem fair?

And I would pay them $200/month per family no matter if there’s days off etc

I only needed one way and I was so grateful for her help that I paid her $20 a week for the AM only.

You would need to discuss what would happen on days those families don't go to school- sick or Simchas. Is it still their responsibility to get your kids to school/find a sub/pay the car service.

Seems very fair. Not sure I would do it (I’m usually multi tasking/ making stops if I’m out that far).

But if they are happy to do it this seems like a very reasonable compensation.
