Private-pay planning guide
Brent private-pay medical transportation price guide
MedicalRide planning rates use U.S. dollars and miles. For Brent, current private-pay estimates start with the base service amount, include the listed local miles when applicable, and then add mileage or access factors when the trip is longer or more complex. These are planning estimates before provider confirmation, not a guaranteed final customer price.
Regular local mileage is commonly modeled at $4.00/mi, longer-distance mileage at $4.00/mi, and after-hours mileage at $4.50/mi. Common add-ons include same-day coordination $30; after-hours timing $35; weekend timing $30; hospital discharge coordination $10; oxygen or equipment handling $20; stairs $30, $55, $100, or $65 when the count is not clear. wait time after the included 15-minute window at $30/hr for ambulatory rides, $65/hr for wheelchair or ambulette rides, and $135/hr for stretcher rides.
Brent pricing can change with exact entrances, parking or valet access, stairs, chair dimensions, oxygen, same-day timing, weekend or after-hours pickup, hospital discharge timing, wait-and-return needs, caregiver coordination, and longer regional mileage. Share full pickup and drop-off addresses, appointment or release time, mobility equipment, stairs, return plan, and contact details before requesting a price.
Wheelchair van example: $250 base including 7 miles + 1 added mile at $4.50/mi = about $255 before add-ons.

| Ambulette | $155 | 7 mi | $4.00/mi | For scheduled non-emergency rides where the passenger may need curb-to-curb or basic door assistance. |
