Reasons for an Elderly Person to Use a Chartered Transportation Service

Safety

A qualified chartered car or bus driver will be on the lookout for your well-being. They'll meet you in a safe place for pickup and make sure you're always dropped off as close as possible to your destination.

You also don't have to worry about staying alert while driving, so you can spend your travel time doing other things like reading, knitting, or looking at the scenery. Health conditions that cause you to nod off or lose focus won't pose a safety risk to you while you're safely in the backseat.

Dependability

You can order your chartered ride ahead of time and know it will be at your door promptly. You don't have to sit at a bus stop in cold or hot weather, waiting with all your groceries. There's no chance of your being delayed in the rain because the bus is already full of people. They can drop you off at your doorstep instead of at a stop that is far away and requires you to travel by foot.

You know you will get to that next appointment on time rather than 10 minutes late due to bus delays.

Flexibility

If you've ever owned a car, you know it will eventually break down and leave you with all of the hassle of getting it to the repair shop and paying for the costs. With a chartered car service, if your specific vehicle breaks down during your ride, another replacement in working order will be sent to pick you up and take you on your way.

The charter fleet is well maintained between shifts, so such an event is unlikely to happen. There's a great reliability in choosing to rely on vehicles that are maintained routinely.

Ridesharing

Sharing a chartered with a friend or an entire group is always an option as well. You will have plenty of time to sit and talk about current events without having to be concerned with driving the car, navigating traffic, and figuring out a close place to park.

If you live in an assisted living facility, sharing a ride with another resident makes private transportation use a lot more affordable on a fixed income. Setting up a long-term arrangement for routine weekly or monthly trips can also help you negotiate a good deal.
