Service details

Our wheelchair NEMT service

ReliaWheels runs a fleet of fully accessible vehicles designed specifically for wheelchair users. Every one has a wheelchair ramp, a secure anchor strap system, and climate control, so the ride itself is comfortable, not just possible.

Our drivers do more than drive. They’re trained in patient care, wheelchair safety, and emergency procedures, and many come from medical assistant backgrounds or hold CNA certifications.

We handle the logistics so you can focus on your health, whether that means transport three times a week for dialysis, or a single trip for a surgery consultation.
