Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Howey-in-the-Hills, FL
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Howey-in-the-Hills is a close-knit community, but the nearest hospital is a 15-minute drive away. Every medical appointment means traveling outside of town — to AdventHealth Waterman in Tavares, Orlando Health South Lake Hospital in Clermont, UF Health Leesburg Hospital, or even downtown Orlando for specialty care. With no public transit and winding two-lane roads connecting you to the rest of Lake County, getting to the right facility on time takes more than good intentions. We provide professional, door-to-door medical transportation for dialysis sessions, hospital visits, specialist appointments, and the everyday rides that keep life moving — like church in Tavares or grocery shopping in Leesburg.
Every ride begins at your front door. Our drivers walk you to the vehicle, make sure you're comfortable, and get you where you need to be. When your appointment wraps up, they're already waiting. For a small town where every healthcare trip means a drive down US-27 or SR-19, having someone you trust behind the wheel makes all the difference — and that's the kind of care we'd want for our own families.
On-Time, Every Time
We know medical appointments can't wait. Our providers prioritize punctuality so you never miss a treatment.
Trained, Compassionate Drivers
All drivers are trained in patient assistance, ADA compliance, and safe transport protocols.
Door-to-Door Service
From your front door to the facility entrance and back—we're with you every step of the way.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
Know your cost upfront, no surprise fees. We'll give you a clear quote before you book.
Your Safety Is the Priority
Every vehicle is regularly inspected, fully insured, and equipped to meet your needs. You're in good hands from pickup to drop-off.
Available When You Need Us
Schedule rides in advance or call for same-day availability. We work around your schedule.
Testimonials
They made a really stressful discharge day so much easier. The driver arrived early, helped me into the vehicle, and made sure I was comfortable the entire ride home. I'll definitely book again.
– Mark C.
I live out of state so finding reliable transport for my dad was a big worry. They've been on time for every appointment and the communication is great. I finally have peace of mind knowing he's in good hands.
– Bob W.
My husband uses a wheelchair and the experience was outstanding. The driver secured his chair carefully, helped with every step, and treated us with real respect. What could have been a difficult day felt calm and manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
You can reach us directly at 877-369-5457 or tap the "Book a Ride" button right here on our site. For Howey-in-the-Hills residents heading to Tavares or Leesburg, we suggest getting in touch a day or two ahead so we can plan the best route for you.
Do you accept Medicaid, Medicare or other health insurance?
We take credit card or cash payment if you book directly with us. For payment using health plans or 3rd party-payers, you will need to contact these parties directly to secure authorization of the trips and many of them may require you to book directly through them.
How far in advance should I schedule?
Booking 24-48 hours ahead works best for routine visits. Since all medical facilities are outside Howey-in-the-Hills — 15 minutes to Tavares, 20 to Leesburg, up to an hour for Orlando specialists — advance notice helps us plan. For recurring dialysis rides, we set up a standing schedule.
What if I need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?
We have wheelchair-accessible vans equipped with ramps and secure tie-down systems for manual chairs, power wheelchairs, and scooters. Mention your needs during booking and we'll make sure the right vehicle is waiting at your door.
Can a family member or caregiver ride with me?
Yes — a family member or caregiver can ride along at no extra charge in most cases. Just let us know when you book so we have the vehicle ready.

What is NEMT?
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, or NEMT, is a professional ride service designed for people who need a safe way to reach medical appointments but don't require an ambulance. It fills the gap between emergency transport and everyday car rides.
The riders who depend on NEMT include seniors who no longer drive, people with disabilities, and anyone managing a condition that makes getting behind the wheel unsafe. Vehicles range from wheelchair-accessible vans to stretcher transport to cars with trained walking assistance.
Most NEMT trips follow a regular pattern — dialysis three times a week, cancer treatment, physical therapy, and routine check-ups. One-time rides after surgery or a hospital discharge are covered too. The goal is simple: help people reach the care they need so they can stay healthy and independent.
Powered by Modern Technology
Every ride in Howey-in-the-Hills is powered by Duet, a trusted NEMT software platform. That gives you real-time vehicle tracking, dependable scheduling, and direct communication with your driver throughout the trip.
More Than a Ride
Every time someone books a ride, they're placing a parent, a spouse, or a close friend in our hands. We take that seriously. From the first phone call through the moment your loved one is safely home, everything we do serves one purpose: making sure no one — rider or family — ever has to worry about the ride.
