Testimonials
Being discharged with an IV drip and a walker felt impossible. The driver helped with everything and made sure my equipment was secure. I felt like I was in caring hands the whole way.
– Karen P.
I was spending four hours a day driving my parents to their various appointments. Now they have a reliable ride service and I have my life back. The quality of care is excellent.
– Laura C.
My electric wheelchair is large and heavy, and most services struggle with it. These drivers handle it with confidence. The vehicle is roomy enough that I don't feel cramped, and the ride is always smooth.
– Samuel C.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
You can reach us by phone at 877-369-5457 or use the "Book a Ride" button on our site. We suggest scheduling 24-48 hours in advance for non-urgent trips, though same-day rides may be available depending on your location in the National City 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?
For appointments within National City, 24-48 hours ahead works well. Trips to specialty care in San Diego or La Jolla benefit from a bit more lead time due to I-5 congestion. For recurring rides like dialysis, we set up a standing schedule so you're always covered.
What if I need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?
Let us know when you book and we'll match you with a wheelchair-ready vehicle. Our fleet includes vans with built-in ramps and full tie-down setups designed for manual chairs, power wheelchairs, and scooters alike.
Can a family member or caregiver ride with me?
Absolutely. A companion — whether that's a family member, caregiver, or friend — is welcome to ride along at no additional charge on most trips. Mention it when you schedule so we can make sure there's room.

What is NEMT?
NEMT — Non-Emergency Medical Transportation — provides a safe, scheduled ride for anyone who needs help getting to a medical appointment but doesn't need an ambulance. That includes dialysis patients traveling three times a week, seniors heading to follow-up visits, and people being discharged from the hospital.
NEMT serves seniors who no longer drive, individuals living with disabilities, and people managing chronic conditions that make it unsafe or impractical to get behind the wheel. Vehicles include wheelchair-accessible vans with ramps and tie-down systems, stretcher-equipped transport for those who can't sit upright, and standard cars with drivers trained to provide hands-on walking assistance.
Common NEMT rides include recurring appointments like dialysis three times a week, radiation therapy, and physical rehab, along with one-time trips such as outpatient surgery pickups and hospital discharges. The goal is simple: make sure people can reach the care they need so they stay healthier and more independent.
Powered by Modern Technology
Every ride we provide runs on Duet, a purpose-built NEMT software platform. That gives you real-time tracking, dependable scheduling, and direct communication with your driver from the moment you book until you're safely home.
More Than a Ride
When a family trusts us with someone they love, that responsibility guides everything we do. Our drivers treat every passenger the way they'd treat their own parent or grandparent — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care from pickup to drop-off. That's not a slogan. It's how we operate, ride after ride.
