Plus, we are cheaper than other ambulance’s which offer the same service we do, making us more affordable whilst still meeting your needs.

How much does the service cost?

We believe our prices to be very reasonable for the level of service you get. We cost more than a typical taxi service, due to the level of professional care you will receive, however, we are cost-effective and more affordable than other ambulance services. Our starting prices for a wheelchair-accessible vehicle begin from £35 for the first 5 miles, then £3.99 for each mile after, one way. Waiting charges are extra.

We are Care Safe Mobility; a private non-emergency patient transport service for patients who are going to or from medical appointments, vaccines, care homes and other healthcare-related locations. All our drivers are medically trained and are able to support the patient from the moment of collection to the drop-off.

Do you provide transport for social events?

We can provide transport for the patient who wants to go to the social events. We have private hire licensed vehicles and drivers.

After booking the service, if I need to cancel, how can I get my refund?

Because we are pre-booked and pre-paid service, and we block the vehicle for the time you have booked. So, if you are cancelling before 48 hours of the journey you can get a refund and the £15 admin fee and bank charges would be deducted. If you cancel between 24-48 hours of your booked journey, nothing is refundable. Because once we book your ride, we won’t accept any other booking during that time. As a business, we can’t accept the last-minute loss of business.

After booking, can I change my travel date?

Yes, you can always change your travel date before 48 hours of your journey. You will be charged a £20 journey amendment fee for that. Between 24-48 hours of your journey, no changes are possible. As a pre-booked and pre-paid service, we block the vehicle for your service. As we get many calls every day, and we can’t take more journeys than any of our existing vehicles. So, we don’t accept any last-minute changes and cancellations.

Why do I need to do a risk assessment?

Risk assessments take roughly 10-30 minutes and are completed through a phone call. They are very useful for us to understand the layout of each location. You may even be asked to send us a picture of some steps that a person may need carrying down, if necessary. They also allow us to understand an overview of the patient’s needs so we can provide the best level of possible care, support and make sure they have a safe and comfortable journey.

Why are feedback forms asked for?

We love hearing your feedback to help us know what we did well and where we can improve. With 5 minutes of your time, we can know exactly how your experience with us went so we know how to move forward with our service. As because we are regulated by the CQC which demonstrates that our level of service meets the fundamental standards of quality and safety for patients. And an ISO 9001 and 27001 certified.
