Private-pay only. We do not bill Medicare or Medicaid.
Private-pay, scheduled transportation for wheelchair users traveling from Santa Monica residences, beachfront hotels, senior communities, hospitals, medical offices, rehabilitation facilities, and care communities to doctor appointments, dialysis, therapy, hospital discharge, airports, and approved destinations across California.
Non Emergency Medical Ride provides private-pay transportation for passengers who travel while seated in a compatible wheelchair or mobility device. The service is intended for planned, non-emergency trips where an ordinary car, taxi, or app-based ride may not provide the required vehicle access, boarding space, or securement arrangement.
Before scheduling, our team reviews the pickup location, destination, requested time, wheelchair type, vehicle access, companion count, and any assistance needed at the residence, hotel, clinic, hospital, or senior community. Santa Monica trips may require additional planning for coastal traffic, busy medical campuses, hospital loading zones, restricted curb access, parking limitations, and appointment check-in times. This advance review helps determine whether the requested trip can be served appropriately.
Passengers with different mobility needs can also review our Santa Monica medical transportation options, stretcher transportation, and stair assistance transport pages before requesting a ride.
Transportation wheelchair service uses a wheelchair-accessible medical transport van to move a passenger to a scheduled destination without requiring the passenger’s wheelchair or transport chair to fit inside a standard sedan. It can support people whose mobility, balance, endurance, recovery status, or medical condition makes ordinary passenger transportation difficult.
Passengers may include seniors, people recovering from surgery, dialysis patients, rehabilitation patients, individuals with temporary or long-term mobility limitations, and wheelchair users traveling to medical or personal destinations. The service is non-emergency wheelchair transportation and does not replace an ambulance, wheelchair public transport, or emergency medical response.

Review long-distance service and pricingA professional wheelchair-accessible ride is planned differently from a standard passenger trip. In Santa Monica, the vehicle must be compatible with the wheelchair, the pickup location must allow workable access, the destination instructions must identify the correct campus or entrance, and enough time must be reserved for boarding, securement, coastal traffic, and facility check-in.
Our scheduling team asks practical questions before the trip so that vehicle capacity, companions, entrance conditions, return timing, and additional assistance can be reviewed. This reduces avoidable surprises at residences, hotels, hospitals, medical offices, and care facilities.
Transportation may be requested to hospitals, outpatient clinics, dialysis centers, rehabilitation programs, skilled nursing facilities, and medical offices in Santa Monica and nearby Westside communities. Confirm the correct campus, entrance, department, loading zone, appointment or discharge time, and facility contact before the ride, especially for large UCLA and Providence campuses.
Pickup and drop-off may be requested at Santa Monica residences, hotels, hospitals, outpatient centers, rehabilitation facilities, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, dialysis centers, medical offices, Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR), and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Provide the unit, entrance, loading area, room or department, facility phone number, pickup contact, appointment or discharge time, and any check-in instructions. For residential pickup, share elevators, gates, stairs, narrow hallways, parking restrictions, and the distance between the entrance and vehicle loading area.
