Hospital Transport FAQs
Can you wait during my appointment?
Yes, we offer a wait and return service. The first 15 minutes are free, then £10 per 30 minutes. This is often more convenient and cost-effective than booking two separate journeys.
Do you help with wheelchairs and mobility aids?
Absolutely. Our driver will assist with wheelchairs, walking frames, and help you safely to and from the vehicle. Wheelchair accessible vehicles available on request.
Can a family member travel with me?
Yes, companions are welcome at no extra charge. Please let us know when booking so we can ensure adequate space.
What if my appointment is running late?
If you've booked our waiting service, we'll wait. Just let us know if there's a significant delay. We understand hospital appointments can overrun.
Do you provide transport for day surgery?
Yes, but please note that most hospitals require you to have a responsible adult with you after sedation. We can transport both you and your companion.
Can I book regular weekly appointments?
Yes, we offer discounted rates for regular bookings. This ensures you have guaranteed transport for ongoing treatment.
