Yes, our service is “door through door”…meaning our drivers are prepared to assist you may you need help. Upon arrival, the driver will notify the appropriate personnel and ensure that you are “checked-in” for your appointment. If your return transport pick up time is unknown, your driver will provide the office staff with a business card and request that they call us 30 minutes prior to the completion of your appointment. This process is in place to reduce your wait time. If the transport requires the driver to stay with the passenger for the duration of the appointment, please request this service when booking the transport so we can make the appropriate accommodations.
