Doctor, dentist and clinic appointments
Piedmont Rockdale, Piedmont Newton, specialists in Decatur or Atlanta, follow ups and discharges. Booked ahead so the car is committed to the appointment time.
Senior transportation in Conyers and Covington
Price Guard Rideshare drives older passengers around Conyers, Covington and the surrounding counties: doctor and dentist appointments, the pharmacy, the grocery store, church, the bank and visits to family. The fare is agreed before the ride, the same driver comes each time, and a son or daughter can book and pay from anywhere. These rides are by appointment, arranged at least three hours before the pickup. It is a taxi service rather than medical transport, so the passenger needs to be able to get in and out of an ordinary car.
These rides are by appointment. Arrange the trip at least 3 hours before the pickup, and the day before for a morning appointment. There is one car and one driver, so booking ahead is what lets us promise your time. Book a day ahead and 10% comes off the trip fare.
Most of this work is simple and it repeats: the same Tuesday appointment, the same grocery run, the same drive home afterwards with the bags. What older passengers tell us they want is not an app. It is knowing who is coming, what it costs and that the car will actually turn up.
What we do
The pharmacy, the store and errands
Prescription pickups, the grocery run, the bank, the post office. The driver helps with the bags to the door.
Church, family and social trips
Sunday service, a relative's house, a lunch. Ordinary journeys, priced the same way as any other trip.
The same driver, every time
One car and one owner driver, so the person collecting your mother is the person who collected her last week and he knows the house.
Family can arrange it from anywhere
Adult children out of state book the ride, agree the price in advance and settle it by card in the car. No cash needs to change hands at the door.
Regular weekly rides
A standing arrangement for a repeated appointment or a weekly shop, set up once by phone rather than booked again every week.
What we do not do
Worth reading before you book, because the wrong service on the day of an appointment is worse than no service at all.
- Wheelchairs. We do not carry a wheelchair, a lift or a ramp, and the car is a sedan. A cane or a folding walker travels in the trunk without any trouble.
- Stretchers, oxygen and anything medical. We provide no care of any kind and no medical equipment. If someone needs to travel lying down or with equipment, they need a non-emergency medical transport company, not us.
- Getting a passenger out of the house. The driver comes to the door and helps with bags and with the car door. He cannot lift anyone, and someone who cannot get in and out of a normal car with the help of whoever is with them should not book this service.
- Staying with the passenger during an appointment. He waits in the car, or comes back for the trip home.
- We are not a Medicaid or insurance transport provider and we do not bill anybody. You are booking a taxi and paying for it.
- Rides at no notice. These trips are by appointment and need arranging at least three hours before the pickup, because one car cannot promise your mother a ride in ten minutes and then let her down.
Wait, or come back for you?
Local trips are short and cheap, so a second trip home usually costs less than having the driver sit outside, though a short stop is often free. He will hold the car for up to an hour and no longer. The first 5 minutes are free, and after that waiting is $0.35 a minute ($21.00 an hour), billed on the minutes actually waited and never part of the trip fare. The full 60 minutes comes to $19.25, and a stop short enough to be back in five minutes costs nothing at all.
| If the driver waits | Waiting charge | Against a second trip of $14.50 |
|---|---|---|
| 5 minutes | free | nothing to weigh up |
| 15 minutes | $3.50 | waiting is cheaper |
| 30 minutes | $8.75 | waiting is cheaper |
| 45 minutes | $14.00 | waiting is cheaper |
| an hour, our maximum | $19.25 | a second trip is cheaper |
A second trip of about 5 miles costs $14.50. The two come out level at about 46 minutes of waiting. You decide when you book and you can change your mind on the day: nobody is charged for waiting that was not agreed.

Nothing to pay here. You get the price first and settle up with the driver at the end.
Questions
How far ahead do I need to book?
At least three hours before the pickup, and further ahead is better for a morning appointment. These rides are by appointment rather than on demand, because there is one car: booking ahead is what lets us promise the time. Book a day ahead and 10% comes off as well.
Do you provide senior transportation in Conyers?
Yes. Rides for older passengers are ordinary bookings for us: appointments, the pharmacy, the store, church and family visits, priced on the same meter as any other trip and agreed before the ride.
Can I book a ride for my mother or father if I live out of state?
Yes, and it is common. You book it, you get the price in advance, and you can pay by card in the car so your parent does not need cash. Give us your number as well as theirs and we will keep you informed.
Do you take wheelchairs?
No. The car is a 2014 Honda Civic LX sedan with no lift or ramp, so the passenger needs to be able to get in and out of a normal car. A cane or a folding walker goes in the trunk with no problem.
Will the driver wait during the appointment?
For up to an hour, yes. The first 5 minutes are free and after that it is $0.35 a minute. He does not wait longer than that: for a longer appointment he drops you off and comes back for you, which is usually cheaper anyway. The table on this page shows where the line falls.
Is it the same driver each time?
Yes. Price Guard Rideshare is one owner driver, Cedric Surry, in one car. That is the point of it for a lot of families.
Can you help with the shopping bags?
Yes, to the door. Groceries in and out of the trunk and up to the door are part of the ride, not an extra.
Can we set up a regular weekly ride?
Yes. Call and we will set it up once, so a repeated appointment or a weekly shop is arranged rather than booked from scratch every week.
How do we pay?
At the end of the ride, by card in the car (Apple Pay and Google Pay work too) or in cash. Nothing is taken when you book.
