WAIT AND RETURN
One appointment. A plan for both directions.
Wait and return helps passengers and families plan the appointment journey and the trip back together. It is suitable to discuss when a visit has an expected duration and you would like the waiting and return arrangements included in the quote.
For an emergency call 911
AmeriCare provides non-emergency transportation. If you or the passenger is having a medical emergency, dial 911 immediately. Do not use this website or a quote or ride-request form to request emergency assistance.
How wait and return works
Send the pickup and destination addresses, appointment time, anticipated visit length, extra stops and mobility requirements. Include the required arrival time and return address. AmeriCare will confirm whether the vehicle can wait, how the return will be handled and the applicable fare.
When appointments run longer
If your appointment runs beyond its expected finish time, the first 30 additional minutes are accommodated without an additional waiting charge. After that, additional waiting is charged in 15-minute increments at the rate explained before booking, and you will receive an updated price. Planned waiting time is included as agreed in your quote. Keep AmeriCare informed if your appointment is running late.

Transportation is available by confirmed booking. We recommend booking in advance. Same-day requests can be considered; call 240-640-1212 so we can review availability and make the necessary arrangements.
