Clinics that use IV sedation or anesthesia usually won't let you drive yourself home, and many won't release you to a rideshare driver who waits at the curb and leaves once you're out of the car. If the ride home isn't arranged, the procedure can be delayed, and fertility procedures are often timed closely to your cycle.
If you ride home alone, our driver comes inside for you at discharge, takes you from the clinic staff, drives you home and sees you to your own front door. If you ride home alone after sedation, the ride home is booked at the top of the base range: $60 base for ambulatory, $70 for wheelchair, plus mileage. Your exact price shows before you book.
Every clinic sets its own discharge rules. If your clinic requires a responsible adult to sign you out, tell us when you book and we'll confirm with the clinic before the day. Not sure what your clinic needs? Call (708) 505-6994 and we'll help you sort it out before the day.

Many clinics that use IV sedation or anesthesia won't release a patient to a rideshare driver, because the driver stays in the car and leaves at the curb. If you ride home alone, our driver comes in for you at discharge and sees you to your door. If your clinic requires a responsible adult to sign you out, tell us when you book and we'll confirm with the clinic before the day.
Clinic rules differ, so we don't promise that for every clinic. What our driver does when you ride home alone: comes inside to meet you at discharge, receives you from the staff, and sees you to your front door. If your clinic requires a responsible adult to sign you out, tell us when you book and we'll confirm with the clinic before the day.

For a shorter visit your driver can wait on site, so the ride home is there when you are ready; wait time is $15/15 min (first 15 min free).

Tell us your appointment time and the time the clinic expects you to leave when you book.
