Frequently Asked Questions

We've Got Answers

Everything you need to know about booking a ride, our services, and what to expect when you ride with Horton Coles Transportation.

Booking & Scheduling

How far in advance do I need to book a ride?

We kindly ask that all trip requests be submitted at least 3 business days in advance to ensure availability and proper scheduling. We understand that medical needs don't always follow a schedule, and we will make every effort to accommodate last-minute requests depending on driver and vehicle availability. For the best experience, we strongly encourage advance booking.

How do I book a ride?

You can book a ride by completing our online ride request form or by calling us directly at (248) 302-3798. Once we receive your request, a member of our scheduling team will contact you within 24 hours to confirm your trip details.

How do I cancel or reschedule a trip?

If you need to cancel a trip, please notify our dispatch team as soon as possible by calling (248) 302-3798. Please note that cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice may be subject to a $25 cancellation fee. No-shows will be charged the full trip rate. To reschedule, simply contact our scheduling team and we will work to find the next available time that fits your needs.

What if my appointment runs longer than expected?

We understand that medical appointments can be unpredictable. If your appointment is running longer than anticipated, please contact our dispatch team as soon as possible so we can adjust accordingly and ensure your return trip is handled smoothly. We will do our best to accommodate you.

Services & Coverage

What areas do you serve?

We primarily serve Southeast Michigan, including Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb counties. We have recently expanded our services into the Flint area (Genesee County). If you are unsure whether we serve your area, please don't hesitate to call us at (248) 302-3798 and we will be happy to assist.

Do you transport passengers in wheelchairs or with mobility scooters?

Absolutely. We are fully equipped to transport passengers who use wheelchairs, power chairs, or mobility scooters. Our ADA-compliant vehicles feature ramps and secure tie-down systems to ensure a safe and comfortable ride for every passenger. Please indicate your mobility needs when booking so we can assign the appropriate vehicle.

Can a family member or caregiver ride along?

Yes, we warmly welcome family members and caregivers to accompany our passengers. We understand how important it can be to have a familiar face along for the ride. Please note that we do operate shared-ride (multi-load) trips at times, which means we may not always be able to guarantee additional seating for companions on every trip. We recommend notifying us at the time of booking if you plan to bring someone along so we can do our best to accommodate your request.

Payment & Insurance

Do you accept Medicaid?

We work with transportation brokers who coordinate Medicaid-covered Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) trips. If you are a Medicaid recipient in need of transportation, please contact your Medicaid broker or managed care plan to schedule a trip through their network. We also accept private pay and other payment arrangements. Call us at (248) 302-3798 with any questions about coverage.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept private pay, credit and debit cards, and trips coordinated through transportation brokers. Please contact our team to discuss payment options that work best for your situation.
