Private Pay Medical Transportation
Professional medical transportation with transparent, upfront pricing. No insurance paperwork, no Medicaid required, no hidden fees. Simply book your ride, know your cost, and go.
What Is Private Pay Transportation?
Private pay medical transportation is a self-pay option for patients who need non-emergency medical rides but do not have Medicaid coverage, do not qualify for insurance-covered transport, or simply prefer the convenience and flexibility of paying out of pocket. With private pay, there are no authorization requirements, no insurance paperwork to file, and no eligibility restrictions. If you need a ride, we are here to help.
Many patients choose private pay because it offers greater scheduling flexibility and faster booking. Without the need for prior authorizations or insurance verifications, private pay rides can often be arranged with shorter notice than insurance-covered transport. You get the same professional service, trained drivers, and safe vehicles, just with a simpler payment process.
At Care Ride Transportation, we believe in transparent pricing. When you book a private pay ride, you receive an upfront cost estimate based on the distance, vehicle type, and any additional services required. There are no surprise charges or hidden fees. You know exactly what your ride will cost before you confirm your booking, giving you full control over your transportation budget.
Who Benefits from Private Pay Transportation?

Every ride includes a base fare that covers the driver, vehicle, and dispatch coordination.
Mileage Rate
A per-mile rate is applied based on the distance between your pickup and drop-off locations. Rates differ for ambulatory and wheelchair transport.
Service Add-Ons
Additional services such as door-through-door assistance, stair assistance, or building navigation are available at transparent add-on rates.
Round-Trip Savings
Booking a round trip qualifies for a discount compared to two separate one-way rides.
