Giving up driving is a big step. Here are the real options across the county — low-cost programs first — and where a private chauffeur fits.
Comfortable door-to-door rides: (858) 522-0264San Diego County has good options. RideFACT offers low-cost curb-to-curb rides for adults 60+ (about $5–$20 one way), and MTS Access provides ADA paratransit. Start with 211 San Diego or 511SD to match the right program. For trips where comfort and on-demand scheduling matter — appointments, family events, the airport — a private chauffeur like EGT is an option. We'll tell you honestly when a county program is the better fit. Call (858) 522-0264.
These are the most affordable choices and the right starting point for most riders. Programs and waitlists change, so confirm current eligibility and hours.
Public and nonprofit programs are excellent for budget and many regular trips, but they involve scheduling windows and shared rides. A private service costs more, and it's the honest choice only when those trade-offs matter to you:
EGT serves ambulatory passengers; for wheelchair-accessible or medical transport, RideFACT and specialized providers are the right call, and we'll point you there.
Appointments, family gatherings, the airport — flat-rate, door-to-door, no surge.
