Private-pay planning guide
Austin private-pay medical transportation price guide
MedicalRide planning rates use U.S. dollars and miles. For Austin, 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 $25; stairs $30, $60, $105, or $70 when the count is not clear. wait time after the included 15-minute window at $30/hr for ambulatory rides, $70/hr for wheelchair or ambulette rides, and $135/hr for stretcher rides.
Austin 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: $260 base including 7 miles + 1 added mile at $4.50/mi = about $260 before add-ons.

| Ambulatory medical car | $145 | 7 mi | $4.00/mi | For passengers who can walk or use a cane or walker, with light assistance at pickup and drop-off. |
| Ambulette | $160 | 7 mi | $4.00/mi | For scheduled non-emergency rides where the passenger may need curb-to-curb or basic door assistance. |
| Wheelchair van | $260 | 7 mi | $4.50/mi | For a manual wheelchair, power chair, or transport chair when the passenger remains seated during the ride. |
| Door-to-door wheelchair | $280 | 7 mi | $4.75/mi | For wheelchair rides where the provider may need to help between the vehicle and the building entrance. |
| Assisted wheelchair | $315 | 7 mi | $5.25/mi | For more hands-on help, transfer support, difficult access, or a trip that needs more time at either end. |
| Stretcher transport | $485 | 7 mi | $6.25/mi | For passengers who need to remain reclined or need bed-to-bed planning; staffing and access can change price. |
