Need a reliable wheelchair-accessible ride in Berkeley?
Transportation wheelchair service is non-emergency travel arranged for a passenger who uses a wheelchair, transport chair, travel wheelchair, or another reviewed mobility device and needs accessible vehicle boarding and securement.
It may help seniors, patients with disabilities, people recovering after surgery, dialysis passengers, rehabilitation patients, wheelchair-bound adults, and families arranging transportation for wheelchair users who cannot comfortably use a standard vehicle.

Transportation wheelchair cost in Berkeley is quote-based because routes differ by mileage, East Bay traffic, Berkeley Hills grades, curb and building access, university or facility loading rules, vehicle requirements, wheelchair dimensions, requested assistance, appointment or discharge timing, airport access, and waiting needs.
We do not publish a generic fare that may ignore the actual trip. Share the pickup, destination, date, appointment or discharge window, wheelchair type, passenger and device weight when relevant, stairs, airport or facility access, companions, and whether the ride is one-way, round trip, recurring, or long distance.

Provide pickup, destination, date, timing, wheelchair information, companions, stairs, and facility instructions.

A ride is scheduled only after the details, quote, pickup plan, and requested time are confirmed.
Ready to begin the three-step booking process?
Private handicap transportation is arranged around a wheelchair user’s access and securement needs. A standard rideshare, taxi, or wheelchair public transport option may not provide the same scheduled vehicle review, boarding space, direct facility coordination, or route-specific planning.
Professional service still requires accurate information from the passenger, family, caregiver, hospital, or facility. Vehicle availability and requested assistance must be confirmed before the ride.

Yes. Non Emergency Medical Ride is a private-pay company. We do not accept or bill commercial insurance, Medicare, Medi-Cal, or Medicaid. Pricing is quoted from the actual route, timing, mobility device, assistance needs, waiting time, and vehicle requirements.
Compatibility must be reviewed before booking. Share the device type, dimensions, model, combined passenger-and-device weight when relevant, and any special securement needs. A Drive transport chair, powered chair, bariatric transport chair rated near 500 pounds, or off-road wheelchair may require a different vehicle or may not be compatible with every scheduled trip.
Scheduled wheelchair airport transfer requests from Berkeley residences, apartments, senior communities, hotels, or care facilities may be reviewed for LAX and other Southern California airports based on route, timing, mobility-device, luggage, and vehicle availability. Provide the airline, terminal, pickup zone, luggage, companion count, mobility-device details, flight timing, and any requested airport assistance. Availability, traffic, and airport loading rules apply.
Usually, up to two family members or caregivers may ride with the passenger when the assigned vehicle has enough seating. Confirm the exact companion count before the trip so capacity and securement space can be reviewed.
No. A transport chair for stairs, carrying a wheelchair up stairs, transfer from wheelchair to van seating, transfer of a patient to a wheelchair, and bed-to-wheelchair assistance are separate needs that require advance review. Never assume they are included in a standard wheelchair-accessible vehicle booking.
