Testimonial:
“My grandmother uses a wheelchair and had never missed a family wedding. Thanks to your service, she didn’t miss ours either. Everything went smoothly, and she felt included and comfortable.” — Leah R., Manhattan
How does an ambulette differ from an ambulance?
While both provide medical transportation, an ambulette and an ambulance serve different purposes. An ambulette is built for non-emergency transportation, equipped with ramps or lifts, wheelchair and stretcher securements, and spacious interiors, staffed by trained drivers and attendants rather than paramedics — commonly used for doctor’s visits, dialysis, hospital discharges, rehab appointments, and family outings. An ambulance, by contrast, is for emergency or advanced medical care, equipped with life-saving equipment like oxygen, cardiac monitors, defibrillators, and IVs, and staffed by EMTs or paramedics trained in Basic Life Support or Advanced Life Support — used in emergencies, critical transfers, and situations requiring medical supervision. At NYC Wheelchair Transportation, we provide ambulette services for safe, comfortable, non-emergency transport, and also operate private ambulances for patients needing advanced medical care.
