Schedule Transportation Services Several Days in Advance

This is one thing you can’t wait until the last minute to do.

Schedule Pick Up Times way Before the Time of the Appointment to Allow for any Possible Delays

We can’t always predict a traffic situation in the areas we live in. if you need medical transportation in Orlando, it is wise to schedule a pick-up at least an hour and a half before your appointment to allow for things such as traffic jams and other unplanned delays. Always allow at least an extra hour to your pick up and return times when planning out your day to avoid scheduling conflicts. For example, if you have a medical appointment at three pm and know you will be done at four, plan to be returned home by five pm. Lastly, do not plan too many stops for one trip. Chances are your driver was scheduled to pick up other patients after your appointment. As +a curiosity, do not ask the driver to stop at multiple destinations during the trip unless it was previously discussed when making the appointment.
 

For Long Distance Travel, Plan Ahead Accordingly

If you know you will be away for most of the day or overnight, be sure to plan your pick up and departure times to allow for enough time to reach your destination. Your driver can assist in choosing a good time to allow for any delays along the route. Be sure you have enough medication and medical supplies to cover the trip as well as any other things you may need to survive until you return home. Lastly, know your destination information and share all the details with your driver. Not only will this ensure you arrive on time but will make the trip less stressful for everyone involved.
