Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Fruit Cove, FL
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Fruit Cove sits along the east bank of the St. Johns River, a patchwork of master-planned subdivisions with no city transit and very limited county service. Most medical appointments mean driving north into Mandarin and Jacksonville's Southside corridor or south to Ascension St. Vincent's St. Johns County. Add SR-13 rush hour and the spread-out feel of communities like Julington Creek Plantation, and routine care takes real planning. We provide professional, door-to-door non-emergency medical transportation across Fruit Cove and St. Johns County for dialysis, hospital trips, doctor visits, and the everyday rides that hold a week together.
Every trip starts at your front step. Our drivers walk you to the vehicle, get you settled, and stay attentive from pickup through drop-off. When you're done, we're already there waiting in the parking lot. It's the kind of care we'd want for our own families — calm, on time, and rooted in the trust families place in us when they hand over the person they love most.

Testimonials
They handled my mother's discharge transport beautifully. She has mobility issues and the driver took extra time to make sure she was comfortable. No rushing, no impatience. Just genuine kindness.
– Virginia M.
My mom goes to her endocrinologist and her eye doctor regularly. One booking handles both recurring schedules. The coordination is seamless and the drivers know her by name.
– Irene L.
The automatic ramp in their newer vehicles is a game-changer. Smooth, quiet, and requires zero effort from me. Combined with experienced drivers, it makes wheelchair transport actually pleasant.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
The quickest path is a phone call to 877-369-5457, or you can tap the "Book a Ride" button anywhere on this site. For non-urgent trips we ask for 24 to 48 hours of notice, though same-day rides are sometimes available depending on driver coverage near 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 my ride?
Aim for 24 to 48 hours of notice. Most Fruit Cove appointments run 15 to 30 minutes away in Mandarin, Jacksonville, or the St. Johns hospital campus, so that buffer matters — especially for morning visits when SR-13 backs up. Standing weekly schedules are available for recurring care.
Do your vehicles accommodate wheelchairs?
Mention it at booking and we'll dispatch the right van. Our wheelchair-equipped vehicles come with ramps and full tie-down systems, and they handle manual chairs, power chairs, and mobility scooters. Every trip is matched to the equipment you actually use day to day.
Can a family member ride along?
Yes — bringing a family member or caregiver along is welcomed in most situations at no added cost. Just let us know during booking so the vehicle has the seating ready for your companion.

What is NEMT?
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, often shortened to NEMT, is a scheduled ride service for people who need a safe way to reach medical care without calling 911. It bridges the gap between an emergency response and an ordinary lift from family.
The riders we serve are typically seniors who've given up driving, adults living with a disability, or anyone whose health makes time behind the wheel risky. To meet those needs, NEMT runs a mix of vehicles, from wheelchair-equipped vans and stretcher transport to standard sedans staffed by drivers trained in walking assistance.
Some appointments repeat on a strict weekly cycle — dialysis runs, chemo infusions, physical therapy, ongoing specialist care. Others happen once, like a ride home from outpatient surgery or a hospital discharge. The aim is steady across both: keep people connected to the care that keeps them well.
Powered by Modern Technology
Behind every Fruit Cove ride is Duet, a purpose-built NEMT platform. The result is real-time vehicle tracking, locked-in pickup windows, and clean communication between you and your driver from booking through arrival.
More Than a Ride
When a family books a ride for a parent, a spouse, or a close friend, they're putting someone they love in our hands. We treat that as the responsibility it is. Every part of the trip is shaped by one promise — nobody riding with us, and nobody waiting on word back home, should have to worry.
