Did you know that one-half of Americans 65 and older do not have access to public transportation? And that more than half of all non-drivers 65 and older stay at home in a given day because they don’t have transportation options. Those in rural areas and small towns are particularly affected because the transportation options are limited.
But it’s important for seniors to remain mobile to keep their social independence with friends and family to reduce the feelings of isolation and loneliness.
We are ready to dispatch on-demand or schedule rides for individuals. You get full visibility into the ride details and a seamless ride-request experience.
Nearly everyone relies on transportation to perform everyday activities. These needs don’t change with age, but access to senior transportation is often limited by both availability and cost.
Senior transportation prices vary depending on the company and how they charge for their services. Companies may charge by the hour, per ride, or even through monthly subscription charges. Transportation prices can range from upwards of $50 per hour to as little as less than $10 per ride.
Depending on which transportation service program you use, senior transportation can be exorbitant or surprisingly affordable. Some programs offer flat rates while others calculate prices on factors such as distance. Luckily, there are many different transportation options that are available to older adults. This makes it easier to find an affordable service that fits your budget.
Budgeting For The Cost of Senior Transportation
There’s no set price range when it comes to senior transportation. This can be frustrating when searching for a senior transportation company that fits in your budget. But ultimately, this is a benefit, since it means that there are plenty of options for you even if some are outside your financial comfort zone.
The price of senior transportation can change depending on several factors, including:
-
The type of transportation company (who you pay)
-
Transportation and additional services offered (what you pay for)
-
Service charges and pricing models (how you pay)
As a rule, publicly-run services usually cost less than those that are owned by private companies. Companies that offer more comprehensive and targeted senior assistance usually cost more. Services that are more generalized or open to a wider range of audiences cost less. Similarly, companies that charge per hour may cost more than companies that charge strictly per ride.
There are a few different ways that companies charge seniors for their transportation services.
More common pricing models include:
Per Ride
-
Many services charge per ride. Some companies will increase the price proportionally to the distance you travel. Plenty of others offer flat rates just for riding. Additional fees based on tolls, extra stops, etc. may or may not be included.
Per Hour
-
Hourly charges are present in almost every industry, and senior transportation is no exception. Many transportation companies charge by the hour, which can be more practical if they offer additional services.
Membership
-
Though not as common, some transportation companies offer membership packages and charge monthly or annual fees. Depending on how often you may use transportation and how far you travel, this can be much more economical.
Ride Plans/ Passes
-
This is similar to membership pricing options, except users pay for a pre-determined number of rides or services instead of a pre-determined period of time. Usually, different plans or pass options are available for users’ transportation needs.
