Is There Wheelchair Transportation That Allows Companion Rides in Hillsborough County?

Yes. In Hillsborough County, Florida, some Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) providers allow a companion to ride along with the passenger, depending on the provider and vehicle capacity.

A companion ride means a family member, caregiver, or friend can travel with the passenger during transportation to a medical appointment, hospital discharge, or procedure.

Companion Ride Requirements

When a companion ride is allowed, a few basic conditions usually apply:

• The companion must be disclosed at the time the reservation is made so the proper vehicle and seating can be arranged.

• The companion must be able to walk and enter the vehicle independently.

• The companion will sit in a regular passenger seat while the wheelchair passenger remains secured in the designated wheelchair position.
