When you or a loved one needs dependable, dignified non-emergency medical transportation in New York City, NYC Fly Wheels is the name families, caregivers, discharge planners, and healthcare providers call first. As a fully licensed and insured ambulette service provider serving all five NYC boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island — we are committed to getting every passenger to their destination safely, on time, and with the respect they deserve.
Our wheelchair-accessible ambulette vehicles are equipped with hydraulic lifts, floor-anchored securement systems, and wide-entry doors designed to accommodate manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, and bariatric mobility devices. Whether you need a single ride to a doctor's appointment in Manhattan, recurring dialysis transport in Brooklyn, or a hospital discharge ride from a Queens medical center, our team handles every detail — from your front door to your destination and back again.
What separates NYC Fly Wheels from ordinary medical transport companies is our people. Every driver completes rigorous patient-handling training, wheelchair securement certification, and defensive driving coursework before their first pickup. We don't just move passengers — we provide compassionate, human-centered NEMT service in NYC that puts your comfort and safety first on every single trip.
What Is an Ambulette Service in New York City?
An ambulette is a specialized non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) vehicle designed for passengers who require mobility assistance but do not need emergency medical care or paramedic services. Unlike a traditional ambulance dispatched for 911 emergencies, an ambulette provides scheduled, comfortable, door-to-door transport for wheelchair users, stretcher patients, seniors, and individuals recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions.
In New York City, ambulette services bridge a critical gap in the healthcare transportation ecosystem. Subway stations are often inaccessible for wheelchair users, standard taxis rarely accommodate power wheelchairs, and rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft are not equipped or trained for medically assisted transport. NYC Fly Wheels fills this gap with purpose-built ambulette vans and trained attendants who provide genuine door-to-door support.

What New York Families Say About NYC Fly Wheels Ambulette
Real reviews from patients and caregivers across all five NYC boroughs.
NYC Fly Wheels has been transporting my mother to her dialysis appointments in Brooklyn for over a year. They are never late, always kind, and treat her with incredible dignity. I cannot recommend them enough.
After my father's hip replacement at NYU Langone, we needed a reliable hospital discharge ambulette. NYC Fly Wheels had a van there within two hours. The driver helped every step of the way. Absolutely outstanding.
As a home care agency coordinator in the Bronx, I book ambulette rides almost weekly. NYC Fly Wheels is the only company I trust with my clients — consistent, professional, and genuinely caring.
