A Caregiver’s Guide to Finding Reliable Transportation for Loved Ones

Kurbsy is there for life's most precious moments so that your loved ones can make the most of life.

If you care for an aging parent, a family member with mobility challenges, or someone recovering from surgery, you know that transportation is more than just getting from point A to point B. It’s about safety, dignity, and peace of mind.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to choose a reliable, accessible transportation service that makes your loved one feel comfortable and secure--every. Single. Time.

Why Reliable Transportation Matters for Caregivers

Missing a doctor’s appointment or arriving late for treatment isn’t just inconvenient—it can affect health outcomes. As a caregiver, you want to ensure that transportation is:

• Safe – Vehicles should be well-maintained, clean, and equipped for accessibility.

• On-Time – Consistency builds trust and eliminates last-minute stress.

• Compassionate – Drivers should understand that they’re serving people, not just passengers.

  
  

At Kurbsy, we believe transportation should empower (not limit) those who use it.

What to Look For in a Transportation Provider

When searching for senior transportation services, wheelchair-accessible rides, or post-surgery transport, keep this checklist in mind:

1. Accessibility Features

   • Wheelchair lifts or ramps

   • Room for mobility aids

   • Easy boarding for those with limited movement

2. Trained Drivers

   • CPR and First Aid certified

   • Experienced with assisting people who need extra care

   • Background checked and screened for illicit substance use

3. Flexible Scheduling

   • Same-day rides for urgent needs

   • Recurring bookings for medical appointments

4. Door-to-Door Service

   • Drivers who escort passengers from their home to their destination, not just curbside drop-off

5. Transparent Pricing

   • Clear rates with no surprise fees

   • Options for ride packages or subscriptions
