Medicab
MediCab is a safe, convenient way for you or a loved one to be on time for medical appointments.
You can count on Charley’s Taxi for reliable and trustworthy medical taxi service. Lots of Oahu families rely on us to take their kupuna to and from doctor’s appointments, dialysis, and physical and occupational therapy.
- Our MediCab drivers meet patients at their residence front door or condo lobby entrance and escort them to the taxi.
- Patients are escorted to check-in at the hospital nurse’s station or doctor’s office reception.
- By using MediCab, riders consent to arm in arm assistance to and from the car.
- At check-in, drivers ask the nurse to call our Dispatchers at least 30 minutes prior to pick up so we can try to be there when patients are ready to go. If there’s heavy traffic we may not always be waiting, but we try hard to minimize wait times.
- Drivers can pick up prescriptions if needed.
- On arriving home, drivers will escort patients back to their residence.
Please make arrangements 24 hours in advance.
Call takers are ready to help you make arrangements 24/7 at 808-533-3211. Please tell the call taker about any special needs so that we can assign the best driver.
