Med Rides provides non-emergency medical transportation in St. Augustine, FL and across south St. Johns County. St. Augustine is the farthest point we serve from our Palm Coast base, which makes advance booking worth more here than anywhere else on our map. Trips are planned ahead, drivers arrive on schedule, and passengers get help from their front door through to the clinic entrance.

Every service we run is available to St. Augustine residents.
Medical appointment transportation covers doctor visits, lab work, imaging, outpatient procedures, and follow-up care. Senior transportation serves older adults with patient drivers and assistance at both ends of the trip. Stretcher van transportation covers patients who cannot sit upright, including hospital discharges and transfers between care facilities. Long distance medical transport handles referrals north to Jacksonville or west to Gainesville, both of which come up regularly for patients here.
Single bookings and recurring weekly arrangements are handled the same way.
The city’s hospital is UF Health Flagler Hospital on Health Park Boulevard, near US 1 and State Road 312. It has served the area for well over a century under the Flagler name and joined the University of Florida academic health system in 2023, with the wider regional network now operating as UF Health St. Johns. Patients still refer to it as Flagler Hospital, and either name gets you to the same place when booking.
Rides also run to the specialist practices, imaging centers, and laboratories clustered around the Health Park campus, along with primary care offices, dialysis centers, and outpatient rehabilitation providers across St. Augustine and south St. Johns County. Pharmacy trips are covered as well.
Patients referred out of the county travel north to the Jacksonville hospital systems or inland to Gainesville, and those trips are arranged through our long distance service.
Pickups run throughout the city, including the Historic District, Anastasia Island, St. Augustine Shores south along US 1, and the Crescent Beach area. Island and beach addresses involve a bridge crossing to reach the hospital, and the Historic District has its own difficulties with narrow streets and limited places to stop, so pickups in both are planned rather than improvised.
Service extends to St. Augustine Beach, Elkton, and Hastings inland, and south into north Flagler County.
South St. Johns County has a sizeable older population, and this is a city where a lot of residents have stopped driving but still have a full calendar of appointments. Drivers help at the door instead of the curb, walk passengers to the right entrance, and work at the passenger’s pace rather than a schedule.
Because St. Augustine is the longest reach from our Palm Coast base, scheduling matters more here. Booking ahead gives the widest choice of pickup times and lets us hold a slot properly. That planning also makes us a sensible option for the longer trips out of the county, since a run to Jacksonville or Gainesville is arranged the same way, with comfort stops and the return leg settled before the day.
Call +1 386-631-8279 or use the booking form with the appointment date, time, and destination. We confirm the pickup time, the address, the building entrance, the return arrangement, and any assistance needed ahead of the day. The driver arrives on schedule and helps the passenger to the vehicle and into the building. The return trip is arranged during the same booking.

Yes. UF Health Flagler Hospital on Health Park Boulevard is the main hospital destination for St. Augustine passengers. It is the facility many residents still call Flagler Hospital, now part of the UF Health St. Johns network, and rides to the surrounding medical offices on the same campus are covered too.
Yes. Both are regular pickup areas. Island pickups involve a bridge crossing to reach the hospital, so the pickup time is set with that allowed for rather than treated as a direct drive.
A week of notice is worth aiming for here. St. Augustine is the farthest point from our base, so early booking gives the widest choice of pickup times and makes recurring arrangements easier to hold. Shorter notice can sometimes be accommodated depending on the schedule that day.
Yes. Referrals to Jacksonville, Gainesville, Orlando, and other specialist centers are handled through our long distance medical transport service. These trips are quoted individually and need more notice, since the vehicle and driver are committed for most of the day.
