    Find answers to general questions about our services.

    What’s the difference between an ambulette and an ambulance?

    Ambulettes are non-emergency vehicles for riders who need physical assistance, not urgent care. No EMTs, no sirens β€” just trained drivers and safe, comfortable transport.
