7 Benefits of Personal Transportation for Seniors

Costco lines are getting longer, restaurants are getting busier, and there’s more traffic than ever on roads that are laden with potholes! In a world where convenience is king, driving often isn’t the most convenient option anymore. A lot of adults are instead opting for personal transportation for seniors, like using GoGo’s Ride services to go wherever you want to with one of our professional, reliable rideshare drivers. One of our goals at GoGoGrandparent is to take the hassle out of driving, so you can have all the perks of a car without any of the headache.

What are some of the benefits of using elderly transportation services compared to driving a car, and why should you consider using GoGoGrandparent for your personal transportation? 
‍

1. You don’t have to drive in bad weather. 

There’s nothing worse than trying to drive in rain, fog, snow, or hail. Driving on icy, slippery roads can be a real nightmare. Unfortunately, bad weather always seems to hit at the worst times. It snows when you have to go to an event. It rains on the days when you need to pick up your prescriptions.

There’s no stopping the weather, but you can make it easier on yourself by using personal transportation services with drivers who are skilled at what they do. Our rideshare drivers are accustomed to driving in bad weather and many have taken defensive driving courses. 

Moreover, GoGoGrandparent has a Guardian program in place that helps screen drivers to ensure they are safe and highly skilled. We’ve worked with hundreds of thousands of drivers, and we save each interaction in our database, so you can feel confident that you are getting the highest quality transportation services for seniors. 

2. You don’t have to sit in traffic. 

Well, you might still have to sit in traffic, but you won’t have to constantly watch the brake lights of the car in front of you. With elderly transportation services through GoGoGrandparent, you have the freedom to sit in the passenger seat and read a book, take a nap, or call a friend while you’re waiting for traffic to ease up. 

3. You don’t have to own a car. 

A lot of people are choosing not to own a car because cars can be expensive and hard to maintain. You may also not have easy access to a garage or parking space. Or you may own a car but you don’t want to put a lot of extra miles on it with day-to-day activities. Or maybe you just don’t want to pay ridiculous gas prices! By leveraging service-based transportation for seniors like GoGo Rides, you have all the benefits and freedom of a car without the costly and timely responsibility of upkeep. 

4. You have control over where you go. 

Riding the bus or hopping on pre-scheduled routes for elderly transportation services can be a pain. You’re limited on where you go, when you leave, and how you get there, and they may not be entirely accessible to your unique situation and needs. Personal transportation services for seniors with GoGo Rides give you the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want.

Whether you want to attend your grandson’s soccer game, a charity event at your local religious organization, or you just want to go for a drive to a new part of town, your personal transportation rideshare driver can take you anywhere you’d like to go. 

5. You have your own driver. 

Having a personal driver can feel so luxurious. You get to sit back, relax, and let someone else handle the stress of the road. Having a driver allows for a seamless commute, so you can easily and quickly run errands, meet your friends, or get to where you want to go.

Plus, a lot of our drivers go the extra mile to be accessible for elderly transportation services, like honking and announcing themselves for those who are visually impaired or offering ramps for those in wheelchairs. This gives you peace of mind that you are well cared for – so you can sit back, relax, and arrive at your destination in style.  

If you like the life of luxury and want more of your daily headaches taken care of for you – like having your prescriptions delivered or ordering gourmet meals – check out our other GoGoGrandparent services. 

‍6. You are supporting your local community. 

The driver picking you up is a local man or woman who’s working hard to make a living. We partner with Uber and Lyft to utilize hard-working drivers who provide a high-quality service of transportation for seniors. Every time you take a ride with GoGoGrandparent, you’re helping support the livelihoods of individuals and families in your town.  

Plus, you never have to worry about your driver. GoGoGuardian screens drivers and cars to ensure quality experiences with a personal touch. 

‍7. You can meet new people who care about you and your well-being. 

You’re not just going from point A to point B. In many cases, you’re making a new friend along the way too when you use elderly transportation services through GoGoGrandparent! A lot of drivers who offer transportation for seniors are friendly, personable, and caring. They want to have meaningful conversations with new people, and they want to know about you. Leveraging these kinds of transportation services for seniors is a great way to interact with new people, share stories, and add a few more smiles to your day. 

If you want to ease the headache of driving, support your local community, meet new people, and still have control over where you go, you’ll love GoGoGrandparent’s personal transportation services for seniors. Register with GoGoGrandparent in just a few easy steps to get started and see the benefits of personal transportation for seniors first-hand!
