Why Choose Us
Coronado is a close-knit island community, but when it comes to medical care, many residents need to cross the Coronado Bridge into San Diego for specialty appointments, dialysis sessions, and hospital visits.

Testimonials
I had a bad reaction to anesthesia and was feeling pretty rough when they picked me up. The driver was patient and drove slowly so every bump wouldn't hurt. Really thoughtful service.
– George F.
Six months of regular rides for my father and they've been flawless. The office staff knows us by name now and the drivers always treat him well. We're loyal customers for life.
– Philip T.
I was terrified of the ramp the first time. The driver sensed it and talked me through every movement. He was calm, patient, and reassuring. By the second ride I felt completely comfortable.
– Gladys N.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
Give us a call at 877-369-5457 or use the "Book a Ride" button on our website. We recommend booking 24-48 hours in advance for non-urgent rides, though same-day availability may be possible depending on your area.
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?
We suggest booking 24-48 hours ahead, particularly for mainland appointments where bridge commute traffic can add 15-30 minutes. For recurring trips like dialysis, we lock in a standing schedule so your rides are confirmed each week automatically.
What if I need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?
Just mention it when you schedule and we'll take care of everything. Our fleet includes vans with ramps and secure tie-down systems designed for manual chairs, power chairs, and scooters. We'll match the right vehicle to your needs automatically.
Can a family member or caregiver ride with me?
Absolutely — a companion, family member, or caregiver can join the ride at no additional cost in most situations. Mention it during booking so we can make sure there's space and your driver is prepared.

What is NEMT?
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, or NEMT, provides dedicated rides for people who need help reaching medical appointments but don't need an ambulance. It supports a wide range of healthcare trips, from routine checkups to post-surgical discharges.
NEMT is built for seniors who've stopped driving, people with disabilities, and anyone whose health makes getting behind the wheel unsafe. The fleet includes wheelchair-accessible vans with ramps and tie-downs, stretcher vehicles for patients who must remain flat, and sedans with drivers trained in hands-on walking assistance.
Typical NEMT trips include recurring dialysis sessions, radiation treatments, physical therapy, and routine checkups. One-time rides — like getting home after outpatient surgery or a hospital discharge — are equally common. The purpose is straightforward: connect people with the care they need so they can stay healthier and live independently.
Powered by Modern Technology
Every ride is powered by Duet, a leading NEMT software platform. You get real-time vehicle tracking, dependable scheduling, and direct communication with your driver from booking to arrival home.
More Than a Ride
When a family trusts us with a ride, they're handing us someone irreplaceable. We feel that responsibility every time. From the initial booking to the moment your loved one walks through their front door, everything we do centers on one commitment: no one riding with us — and no family waiting at home — should ever feel uncertain about the trip.
