Medical appointments are one of the steadiest parts of our San Francisco calendar. Patients and families book a named chauffeur to UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay in Mission Bay, California Pacific Medical Center Van Ness Campus in Van Ness and other facilities across San Francisco's teaching hospitals 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 San Francisco 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 San Francisco
Dialysis and infusion rounds
Standing three-times-a-week schedules to UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay in Mission Bay 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
California Pacific Medical Center Van Ness Campus in Van Ness 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 Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital in Potrero 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 Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Medical Center in Geary Boulevard back to San Francisco.

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 San Francisco 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 San Francisco 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.
San Francisco medical transportation FAQs
- How much does medical appointment transportation cost in San Francisco?
- Hourly as-directed service in San Francisco 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 UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay?
- Yes — that is exactly what hourly service buys. The chauffeur parks at UCSF Medical Center at Mission Bay in Mission Bay, 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 San Francisco?
- 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 San Francisco address. Many San Francisco 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 San Francisco?
- We do. Standing weekly schedules across San Francisco's teaching hospitals 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 San Francisco 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.
