Traditional Rideshare Wasn't Built for Everyone.
When it comes to getting from Point A to Point B, traditional rideshare services have become the go-to for many. But for older adults, families with special transport needs, or anyone looking for consistency and care—not just a ride—those platforms often fall short.
That’s where Kurbsy, a concierge-style transportation service, stands out. Designed with the unique needs of seniors and families in mind, Kurbsy offers more than just a ride, we offer peace of mind.
Our concierge transportation gives families peace of mind—so grandparents can keep showing up for life’s most meaningful memories.
Why Traditional Rideshare Services Fall Short for Many Riders
While traditional platforms offer convenience, they weren’t built with older adults, medical appointments, or daily lifestyle assistance in mind. Here’s where they often miss the mark:
Unpredictable Drivers: You never know who you’re getting. Riders can't always count on a patient, trained, or familiar face.
Lack of Personalization: There’s no guarantee the driver will understand or even accommodate the mobility needs of many riders, appointment schedules, or how to provide extra assistance.
Inaccessible Vehicles: Many standard rideshare cars are not suitable for walkers, canes, or extra bags—let alone door-to-door help.
Limited Wait-and-Return Options: Need to be picked up after your appointment? You might have to call again and start the process over—possibly with a new driver.
What Makes Kurbsy the Better Choice
Kurbsy was built from the ground up to solve these pain points. And because we were founded by loved ones who personally face these unique challenges themselves, and/or love people who do, here’s what sets us apart from typical rideshare services:
1. Trained Concierge Drivers, Not Just Drivers
Every Kurbsy driver is trained in:
Mobility assistance
Elder sensitivity
Appointment coordination
Professional, courteous interaction
CPR, First-Aid and AED
Defensive Driving
NEMTAC Certification
At Kurbsy, our team isn't comprised of just drivers. Instead, we are care-oriented professionals.
2. Rider-Preferred Vehicles
Kurbsy vehicles are hand-selected for comfort, accessibility, and cleanliness. Need help getting in and out? Carrying bags? Using a walker or cane? We’ve got you. Always.
3. Wait-and-Return Service
Our wait-and-return model ensures you’re never stranded. Whether it’s a doctor’s appointment, grocery trip, or worship service, you have the option of ensuring your driver stays nearby and ready. No more hours-long waits after appointments or events. No more being stranded for hours on end.
4. Reliable Scheduling (No App Confusion)
No need to fumble with apps or navigate last-minute availability. Rides are scheduled in advance with guaranteed pickup, and confirmations are sent via text or phone call. While we are tech-enabled, we are tech-optional. Let us help accommodate your unique needs.
5. Consistent Drivers That Riders Can Trust
Whenever possible, Kurbsy matches riders with the same trusted drivers. This builds comfort, trust, and long-term relationships—especially critical for seniors and families.
Designed for Seniors and Families
Many of our clients are:
Seniors looking for independence without the stress of driving
Adult children arranging rides for parents
Individuals with chronic health needs requiring regular visits to clinics
Families needing help with rides to church, errands, or community events
Kurbsy meets them where they are—literally and figuratively.
Local Expertise, Human Touch
Unlike rideshare apps with anonymous call centers (or no call centers at all), Kurbsy is locally operated and community-driven. Our drivers know the neighborhoods, the clinics, the traffic patterns—and more importantly, they know our riders by name. And when you need help, you'll actually get a human on the line.
“I used to worry every time my mom had a doctor’s visit—Would she get a nice driver? Would they help her to the door? With Kurbsy, it’s a huge weight off my shoulders. The same driver takes her every week, and they even walk her in. It’s a blessing.”
