Why Choose Us

Testimonials
I needed a ride after an emergency room visit at 2 AM. They had someone there within the hour. No judgment, no rushing — just a calm, safe ride home when I needed it most.
– Jeffrey A.
My daughter has recurring specialist visits and she gets anxious about medical trips. The regular driver they send is amazing with her — patient, kind, and always puts her at ease.
– Samuel J.
They picked me up in my wheelchair without any of the usual fuss. Ramp down, roll on, strap in, let's go. Efficient but never rushed. I felt respected from the first minute to the last.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
You can reach us at 877-369-5457 or use the "Book a Ride" button right here on our site. We suggest scheduling at least 24-48 hours in advance for the best availability, though same-day rides may be possible depending on your pickup location in La Jolla.
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 recommend at least 24 hours of lead time, especially for morning appointments near the Scripps or UCSD campuses when I-5 and La Jolla Village Drive traffic is heaviest. For recurring needs like dialysis, we'll set up a standing schedule so your rides are locked in each week.
What if I need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?
Just mention it when you book and we'll reserve the right vehicle for your ride. Our vans are equipped with wheelchair ramps and secure tie-down systems built for manual chairs, power chairs, and scooters.
Can a family member or caregiver ride with me?
Of course — a family member or caregiver is welcome to come along at no extra charge in most cases. Let us know when you book so your driver can plan accordingly.

What is NEMT?
NEMT, or Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, is a service designed for people who need to reach medical appointments but don't require an ambulance. That includes recurring trips like dialysis, routine checkups, specialist visits, post-surgical follow-ups, and hospital discharge pickups.
The service exists for seniors who no longer drive, individuals with disabilities, and people managing chronic conditions that make driving unsafe. NEMT vehicles include wheelchair-accessible vans with ramps and tie-downs, stretcher transport for those who need to lie flat, and standard cars with drivers trained in hands-on walking support.
Common NEMT rides include recurring appointments — dialysis three times a week, radiation treatments, physical therapy, routine check-ups — as well as one-time needs like getting home after outpatient surgery or a hospital stay. The goal is simple: get people to the care they need so they can stay healthier and more independent.
Powered by Modern Technology
Every ride runs on Duet, a leading NEMT software platform that gives you real-time vehicle tracking, dependable scheduling, and direct communication with your driver from booking to drop-off.
More Than a Ride
Every time someone books a ride with us, they're trusting us with a parent, a spouse, or a friend. We carry that responsibility in everything we do. From the moment you call to the moment your loved one is safely home, our focus never wavers: no one in our care should ever have to worry about the ride.
