Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Cheltenham, MD
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Cheltenham is a semi-rural pocket of southern Prince George's County along US-301, home to neighborhoods like Cheltenham Village, Rosaryville, and Cedarville and a sizable senior and veteran community. With no hospital in town, most medical trips become a 15 to 30 minute ride out — west to MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center in Clinton, north to MedStar Health: Medical Center at Brandywine, or up MD-5 to University of Maryland Capital Region in Largo. We handle those rides on a schedule you can plan around.
At pickup, our drivers walk to your door, help you to the van, and make sure you're settled before pulling away. They're back before your appointment wraps up — no lobby wait, no fumbling with a phone. When Cheltenham families call us, they're handing over the person they love most, and we treat each ride that way.

Testimonials
I had a bad fall and spent three days in the hospital. The discharge ride home was the best part of the whole experience. Kind driver, careful driving, and they helped me to my door.
– Evelyn C.
Recurring chemo rides for my brother. The drivers are always sensitive to how he's feeling after treatment — they drive gently, keep conversation light, and never rush. Compassion in action.
– Janice K.
The ride itself was smooth — no sudden stops, gentle turns, and the driver avoided rough roads. For a wheelchair user, a smooth ride isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. They understand that.
– Howard D.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
Reach us at 877-369-5457 or use the Book a Ride button on any Cheltenham page to set up your trip. For non-urgent visits, we suggest booking 24 to 48 hours ahead, though same-day rides are sometimes possible depending on driver coverage in the 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 my ride?
Because Cheltenham is rural and most medical care sits 15 to 30 minutes away in Clinton, Brandywine, or Largo, we ask for 48 to 72 hours of notice when possible. Early dialysis pickups benefit from extra lead time, and recurring needs can be set as a standing schedule.
Do your vehicles accommodate wheelchairs?
Yes — just mention it when you book. Our wheelchair-accessible vans are fitted with ramps and proper tie-down systems, and we work with manual chairs, power chairs, and scooters. The right vehicle is matched to your ride.
Can a family member ride along?
Yes. A family member or caregiver is welcome to come along at no added cost in most cases. Just let us know when you book so the driver is ready for an extra passenger.

What is NEMT?
Non-Emergency Medical Transportation — NEMT for short — fills the gap between calling an ambulance and asking family for a lift. It's the option for people who need a safe, careful ride to medical care without an emergency on the line.
The typical rider has stepped away from driving — an older adult, an adult with a disability, or someone whose health makes the highway a poor idea. Vehicles match the need: wheelchair-accessible vans with ramps, stretcher transport for patients who travel lying down, and sedans with drivers trained to assist on foot.
Some trips repeat for years — dialysis three mornings a week, weekly therapy, monthly infusions. Others happen once, like a ride home after outpatient surgery or a hospital discharge pickup. The goal stays the same: keep Cheltenham residents connected to the care they need.
Powered by Modern Technology
Every Cheltenham ride is dispatched and tracked through Duet, the platform built for non-emergency medical transportation. You get live vehicle tracking, dependable scheduling, and clear communication from booking until drop-off.
More Than a Ride
When a Cheltenham family books with us, they're putting someone irreplaceable into our care — a parent, a spouse, a friend they've known for decades. We carry that responsibility seriously. Everything between the first phone call and the moment your loved one is back inside their own home comes down to one promise: nobody has to worry about the trip.
