Prepare the appointment details
Provide the facility name, complete entrance address, check-in time, expected appointment length, passenger contact, and any return-trip needs. If discharge timing is uncertain, ask how waiting time or a flexible return will be handled.
Mobility and companion planning
Tell the booking team about walkers, folding wheelchairs, oxygen equipment, a companion, or other items before confirmation. Vehicle access and cargo fit must be verified for the specific passenger; drivers do not provide medical monitoring or hands-on clinical care.
Recurring transportation
For a repeating appointment schedule, share all dates and expected pickup windows together. A recurring plan can reduce repeated coordination, but every trip remains subject to written confirmation and vehicle availability.
Rates and availability
Rates are quoted for the specific pickup, destination, date, time, passenger count, and luggage load. Request a current starting rate before booking.
Reservations are available 24/7. A submitted request is not confirmed until Sunset Elite accepts the trip and provides the applicable price and terms.
