Book a Ride

Details

In app, tap the Book Trip button.

  • Type in where you are (Pickup) and where you are going (Drop-off).
  • Choose the type of car you need (Rideshare may be the only option) and the reason for your trip.
  • Choose your time: Pick the date and pickup time for your ride. You can book a one-way trip or a round trip. You can be picked up immediately or schedule it for later

Chesterfield County has restrictions based on the service area and trip reason selected. You will not be able to proceed with booking if the entered addresses and/or trip reason do not meet these requirements. For questions regarding service areas, please contact Mobility Services at (804) 706-2796.

Tip for Dialysis: If you have appointments every week, you can set up a Repeating Ride so you don't have to book it every single time.

The Ride Home: You can book your return ride as a "Will-Call" ride. This means the ride waits for you to tap a button when your appointment is finished.

Payment

Select your payment method. How you pay for your ride will depend on how Chesterfield County has designed your transportation benefit.

  • Subsidized Rides: For Chesterfield Mobility Services members, you will see the subsidy you are receiving and be able to enter and save a credit card for the balance of your trip cost.

Once done reviewing ride and payment details, click Book Trip Now or Pay Now to complete your booking.

Tip: When a ride is scheduled, a hold will be placed on your credit card. This hold will be replaced by a charge once the ride is completed or if a missed connection fee is assessed.

Cancel or Change a Ride

If your plans change, go to My Trips and tap View Details.

  • To Cancel: Tap Cancel Ride. Please tell us why you are canceling.
  • To Change: Tap Edit Trip to change the time or place.
  • Ready to go home? If you booked a "Will-Call" ride, tap Launch Will Call when your appointment is over, and a driver will be sent to you.
