Senior transportation in NJ: a driver for their own car
When a parent should not be driving, but still wants to get around on their own terms, a personal driver in their own car can be the easiest answer. Here is how it works and what it costs.
Why their own car makes a difference
Many older adults are more comfortable in their own vehicle: the seat they know, the step-in height they can manage, their own belongings in the back. With our personal driver service, a professional chauffeur drives your parent in their own car, so nothing about the ride feels unfamiliar.
What families book it for
- Doctor and specialist appointments, with the driver waiting
- Weekly errands: groceries, pharmacy, bank
- Visits to family, friends and places of worship
- Airport trips in their own car
- Family events, weddings and holidays
What it costs
Our personal driver service is $60 per hour with a 3-hour minimum. The vehicle owner covers fuel, tolls and parking. A typical appointment-and-errands morning fits inside the 3-hour minimum, for $180.
What to know before booking
- Our chauffeurs drive the vehicle. We do not provide medical care or help transferring from a wheelchair.
- Share any mobility needs when you book so we can plan the pickup.
- A family member can book and coordinate everything by phone or text.
Prefer our vehicle?
