A large share of the chauffeured work we do in Palo Alto never touches an airport. Patients and families book a named chauffeur to Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame, Kaiser Permanente Redwood City Medical Center in Redwood City and other facilities across the Peninsula hospital cluster because the ride has to be reliable in a way an app cannot promise: no surge pricing, no cancelled pickup, no stranger at the discharge door.
Every Palo Alto medical reservation is dispatched from the same fleet and the same chauffeur roster as our corporate accounts — a black Lincoln Aviator sedan, a Chevrolet Suburban LT SUV, or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when a family travels together. Chauffeurs arrive fifteen minutes early, help with the door, folding wheelchairs, walkers and bags, and keep the cabin quiet on the way home.
Book it hourly and the car and chauffeur stay with you through the appointment; book two one-way transfers if the discharge time is genuinely open-ended. Either way the quote is written, gratuity and parking are included, and dispatch is reachable at any hour if the hospital runs long.
Appointments we drive from Palo Alto
Dialysis and infusion rounds
Standing three-times-a-week schedules to Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame and equivalent centres. The same chauffeur where possible, the same pickup time, and a vehicle that is already warm when treatment ends.
Surgery and post-procedure discharge
Kaiser Permanente Redwood City Medical Center in Redwood City and most surgical centres will not release a sedated patient to a rideshare or to their own car. Your chauffeur waits on site, meets you at the discharge door when the nurse calls, and drives home without a single extra stop.
Oncology, imaging and specialist consults
Long, unpredictable appointments at San Mateo Medical Center in San Mateo are booked hourly so nobody is watching a meter. If the visit runs over, the car is still parked where you left it.
Out-of-town patients and family visits
Airport-to-hospital runs for family flying in, hotel-to-appointment shuttles during a treatment week, and return trips from Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto back to Palo Alto.
Facilities we reach most often
- Mills-Peninsula Medical Center — Burlingame

What this service is — and is not
Premier Executive Chauffeur is a CPUC-licensed chauffeured passenger carrier, not a medical transport provider. We do not operate ambulances, carry gurneys, provide any clinical or nursing care, or run wheelchair-accessible vans. Passengers must be able to transfer into a standard vehicle seat, with chauffeur assistance available for folding wheelchairs, walkers and canes. For gurney, stretcher or paramedic transport, call a licensed non-emergency medical transportation provider.
How a Palo Alto appointment booking works
- Reserve online or call dispatch with the facility, department, appointment time and whether you want hourly coverage or two one-way transfers.
- You receive written confirmation with the vehicle, the total, and the chauffeur's name and mobile number — the details most Palo Alto surgical centres ask for in advance.
- The chauffeur arrives fifteen minutes early at your door, assists with a folding wheelchair, walker or bags, and drives to the correct entrance rather than the general lobby.
- After the appointment, one call or text brings the car to the discharge door. Dispatch is staffed around the clock if the hospital runs long.
Palo Alto medical transportation FAQs
- How much does medical appointment transportation cost in Palo Alto?
- Hourly as-directed service in Palo Alto is $130 per hour for a luxury sedan, $150 per hour for a Chevrolet Suburban SUV and $175 per hour for a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, each with a 5-hour minimum, and gratuity, tolls and parking are already inside the quote. If the appointment window is short or wide open, ask dispatch for two one-way transfers instead — those are quoted flat by distance rather than by the hour.
- Will the chauffeur wait during my appointment at Mills-Peninsula Medical Center?
- Yes — that is exactly what hourly service buys. The chauffeur parks at Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame, stays with the vehicle, and comes to the entrance the moment you call or text. There is no re-dispatch, no new driver, and no waiting outside in a lobby for a car to accept the trip.
- Can you pick me up after surgery in Palo Alto?
- Yes. Give us the facility, the department and the expected discharge window when you reserve. The chauffeur checks in with the discharge desk, brings the vehicle to the correct door, loads belongings and prescriptions, and drives straight back to your Palo Alto address. Many Palo Alto surgical centres ask for the driver's name and phone number in advance — dispatch supplies both in your written confirmation.
- Do you serve recurring dialysis or infusion schedules from Palo Alto?
- We do. Standing weekly schedules across the Peninsula hospital cluster are set up once, then repeat: the same pickup time, the same vehicle class and, wherever the roster allows, the same chauffeur. Call dispatch to change or pause a week — there is no app queue and no cancellation penalty for a treatment that gets rescheduled by the clinic.
- Is this a wheelchair-accessible or ambulance service?
- Premier Executive Chauffeur is a CPUC-licensed chauffeured passenger carrier, not a medical transport provider. We do not operate ambulances, carry gurneys, provide any clinical or nursing care, or run wheelchair-accessible vans. Passengers must be able to transfer into a standard vehicle seat, with chauffeur assistance available for folding wheelchairs, walkers and canes. For gurney, stretcher or paramedic transport, call a licensed non-emergency medical transportation provider.
- How do I book a Palo Alto hospital ride?
- Reserve online through the booking page, or call dispatch directly. Include the facility name, the department, the appointment time and whether you want hourly coverage or two one-way transfers. You will get written confirmation with the vehicle, the chauffeur's contact details and the total before the day of the appointment.
