Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Surfside Beach, TX
Safe, reliable rides for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Why Choose Us
Surfside Beach is a small Gulf Coast village of roughly 500 year-round residents, many of them retirees who chose the beach for the quiet. There's no hospital, no dialysis chair, and no clinic inside the village, which means every medical trip starts with a drive across the TX-332 Surfside Beach Bridge toward Freeport, Lake Jackson, or Angleton. Our non-emergency medical transportation serves that very stretch — dialysis runs to Fresenius Kidney Care Lake Jackson, discharge pickups at CHI St. Luke's Health Brazosport Hospital, follow-ups at UTMB Health Angleton Danbury, and the errands that keep a beach life running in between.
Every ride starts on your porch, not at the curb. The driver knocks, offers an arm down the front steps, and gets you buckled into the most comfortable seat. At the clinic, we walk with you from the parking lot to the check-in window, and when treatment ends we're already waiting out front. That's the kind of careful attention we'd want for our own parents, and every Surfside rider gets it.

Testimonials
I was discharged with a wound vac and needed careful handling. The driver understood the situation completely and was incredibly careful. The ride was smooth and I arrived home without any issues.
– Gregory K.
Three times a week for my father's treatments. The morning drivers are always pleasant even at 6 AM pickups. That consistency and good attitude make a real difference in his day.
– Alan W.
I use a manual wheelchair and usually need help with the push up the ramp. The driver didn't even need to be asked — he stepped right in, pushed me up smoothly, and got me secured quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a ride?
Booking takes a quick call to 877-369-5457, or tap the "Book a Ride" button on this page. For standard Surfside Beach trips we suggest a day or two of notice, though same-day rides sometimes work if a van is already on the Freeport side of the bridge.
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?
Because Surfside Beach is isolated — the TX-332 bridge is the only route out, and the nearest hospitals sit in Freeport, Lake Jackson, or Angleton — book at least 48 hours ahead, earlier during summer beach season or hurricane advisories. That lead time lets drivers plan around bridge traffic.
What if I need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?
Mention it when you book and we'll assign the right van for your ride. Our wheelchair-accessible vehicles carry certified ramps and secure tie-down systems that handle manual chairs, power chairs, and scooters, and every driver is trained on proper wheelchair securement before the pickup.
Can a family member or caregiver ride with me?
Absolutely — a spouse, adult child, or caregiver is welcome to ride along, and in most cases there's no added charge. Mention the companion at booking so we reserve the seat ahead of time, which matters most on long Surfside-to-Houston runs into the Texas Medical Center.

What is NEMT?
NEMT, short for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, is a scheduled ride service built for riders who need a professional way to reach healthcare but whose situation doesn't require an ambulance or a 911 response.
Riders are usually seniors who've handed in the car keys, adults living with chronic disabilities, and anyone whose condition makes driving unsafe. The vehicle is chosen to fit the trip — a ramp-equipped van for wheelchair users, a stretcher-ready van for riders who must lie flat, or a standard van with hands-on walking assistance.
Most bookings cover recurring treatments like three-a-week dialysis, chemotherapy cycles, physical rehab, and monthly specialist visits, along with one-time trips such as outpatient surgery pickups and hospital discharges. The goal is straightforward — keep every rider tied to the care that keeps them well, and protect independence as long as possible.
Powered by Modern Technology
Every Surfside Beach ride is booked through Duet (https://www.duetinc.com/), a leading NEMT software platform that gives riders real-time vehicle tracking, dependable scheduling, and a direct line to the driver from pickup to drop-off.
More Than a Ride
Booking a ride with us means handing over something personal — a father after surgery, a wife heading to dialysis, a neighbor who's lived on Beach Drive for thirty years. We feel the weight of that trust, and it shapes every decision a driver makes. The ride itself should never be the thing a Surfside family has to worry about.
