Testimonials

I was released late in the evening and was worried about finding a ride. They showed up right on time with a clean, comfortable vehicle. The driver was reassuring and got me home safely.
– Diane K.

Finding someone to drive my elderly aunt to her weekly appointments was stressful. Now it's not even something I think about. They just handle it, every single week, without fail.
– Stephanie D.

I use a motorized wheelchair and it's heavy. The driver handled the ramp and tie-downs like a professional. No scraping, no bumping, no fumbling. This is what proper wheelchair transport looks like.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book a ride?

The easiest way to schedule is by calling 877-369-5457 or tapping the "Book a Ride" button right here on our site. We suggest reserving your ride at least 24-48 hours before your appointment for the smoothest experience, although last-minute availability is sometimes an option depending on where you are in San Diego.

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 standard appointments, we recommend booking 24-48 hours ahead. San Diego covers over 370 square miles, so rides crossing the city benefit from extra lead time. For recurring needs like dialysis, we set up a weekly standing schedule so your rides are always locked in.

What if I need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?

Absolutely — just mention your wheelchair needs when scheduling and we'll make sure the right vehicle is reserved for you. Our fleet includes vans fitted with ramps and professional-grade securement systems built for manual chairs, power chairs, and mobility scooters.

Can a family member or caregiver ride with me?

Yes — we welcome a family member or caregiver to accompany you on any ride, typically at no extra charge. Mention it during booking so we can plan accordingly and ensure there's comfortable seating for everyone.

What is NEMT?

Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, or NEMT, is a professional ride service designed for people who require safe, dependable transportation to healthcare appointments but do not need emergency ambulance services. Riders use NEMT for recurring treatments like dialysis, routine physician visits, post-hospital pickups, and ongoing follow-up care.

NEMT is designed for seniors who've stopped driving, people living with disabilities, and anyone managing a condition that makes getting behind the wheel difficult or unsafe. Vehicles range from wheelchair-accessible vans with ramps and tie-downs to stretcher transport and standard cars with drivers trained to provide hands-on walking assistance.

Most NEMT rides are for recurring needs — dialysis three times a week, radiation therapy, physical rehab, regular check-ups — along with one-time trips like post-surgery pickups and hospital discharges. The goal is simple: helping people get to the care they need so they can stay healthier and live on their own terms.

Powered by Modern Technology

Every ride we provide is powered by Duet, a leading NEMT software platform. For you, that means real-time vehicle tracking, reliable scheduling, and clear communication with your driver from pickup to drop-off.

More Than a Ride

When a family books a ride with us, they're placing someone they love in our hands. We don't take that lightly. From the first phone call to the moment your loved one is safely home, everything we do is built around one idea: no one riding with us should ever have to worry about the ride.
