I have been assigned a new driver. Patricia is doing and excellent job of keeping me posted on…read morearrival times etc. She is working well on meeting our personal needs and requirements. Patricia waits for us and returns us safely to our residents. VMT is doing the best job of all Transport companies.

I'm having some difficulty not giving this company one star. I know other people have used them…read moresatisfactorily But after tonight, I'd say if you do, check ahead and make sure they are aware of your arrangements with them, say two hours in advance. A lady I am aware of uses their services or she would not get around. Her health just doesn't allow for it. One night I saw her waiting for them to pick her up outside the studio and gallery next to where I do my work.. The weather was nice but I would never leave a woman to sit by herself at night near 2nd st and Roosevelt while waiting to be picked up. Chances are there'd be no problems but... They were late but eventually they go there after being called and reminded they were supposed to come and get her. Tonight, it was bordering on cold and this lady again was sitting waiting vor VMT to come and get her. .She told me she had called VMT twice and got the answering machine. By 7:20 pm, I started calling and by then the answering machine wasn't picking up. Eventually my calls would be dropped. Finally at 7:35, I put her in my car and drove her to 70th ave and Indian School. If you use this company be very clear on your plans with them. Nuff said.

Several years ago, after a series of medical nightmares including a stroke and a broken leg, I…read morelooked in the mirror and faced a hard truth. I was disabled and my driving days were over. Although I quickly learned that Valley Metro and the City of Surprise offer a subsidized transportation service to city residents who are disabled, elderly or financially challenged, that program known as Ride Choice, was not exactly reliable. The providers that worked with them put me though hell. Missed rides, no shows, vans without seatbelts, late arrivals (my worst was literally 7 hours of waiting on a remote intersection with the dispatchers promising my ride was about 15 minutes away all night. Nope. I had to wheel myself home at 10:30 pm after they finally admitted there was no ride. The service was so bad, I was asked to testify before Surprise City Council. The City had made a huge financial investment in the program, and at the time I was constantly missing medical appointments or being stranded with no ride home. My wheelchair is customized and is extremely large. It weighs over 450 pounds without me in it, so it can't be folded and tossed in the trunk. A lift or ramp are necessary or I go nowhere. I had all but given up on this service when the dispatcher told me she was sending a new transportation company to take me to my doctor about a year ago. Great, I thought, a company named East Valley Rides is not gonna take me to an appointment in Surprise. So imagine my shocked delight when a clean white van appeared five minutes early, driven by a clean cut young guy who actually spoke to me. Hunter asked questions and listened to my answers. He gave me a stack of cards and asked me to request his company anytime. Turns out he also lived in Surprise, and was starting up the company's West Valley division. Within a week, he had earned my business. He was always on time, he called or texted me if he thought he might be late, and he got me everywhere safely. He ran to open doors for me. He repositioned the ramp at the front of my house and he unlocked my door and made sure I got in and out safely. He even insisted on carrying my bags if I had done a little shopping while I was out. Best of all, he made me laugh. He listened and we exchanged tales of life. I began to look forward to our regular rides. Whether I was headed to physical therapy for a painful workout or to yet another medical appointment or procedure, his sunny personality often pulled me out of a blue funk. His company quickly became popular on the west side, and he bought more accessible vans and hired more drivers. I knew all the players in his company, and he regularly asked for feedback when one of his newer drivers had to take me. He was grateful whether my comments were positive or cranky. Some of his drivers liked to arrive 30 minutes early, which drove me bonkers because I am hopelessly last minute. Easy solution? Text or call me at least an hour early if they needed to get me ahead of the schedule. Many of their other clients are elderly and very ill, so I was willing to be flexible with my times and they were willing to do the same for me. East Valley Rides has totally gone the extra mile to keep me safe and sound and on time. Once, when the schedule was triple booked after yet another competitor quit the Ride Choice Program, the owner of EVR himself drove up from Globe (almost 3 hours!) in an accessible bus to personally drive me from my surgeon's office and lab to physical therapy. I was gobsmacked and delighted. The owner had lots of questions for me about how his employees performed and I could only say good things. His wife has had a disability for 25+ years, so he had a true understanding of how it is to rely on others to get around. I think that perspective definitely enhances the services provided by EVR and I'm happy and grateful to have them in my corner. I have huge respect for Hunter and I love being able to count on him 100%. I am just an ordinary citizen, not a VIP with important connections and business to conduct. He and his team are warm and welcoming and we can have an honest dialogue on everything. I consider him to be a true blessing and his service has allowed me to take much better care of myself. To learn more about the Ride Choice program, call Valley Metro and the City of Surprise.

Oh my God talking about services I highly recommend EVR after trying several carriers. They are the…read morebest in-service in all aspects. They are one of the friendliest, and helpful services, and they make sure you are safe, and your ride for sure will not be dull. I plan on using EVR forever, that is how good they are. Keep up the great job!

Wow These guys know how to help in a really crappy situation. I contacted Ken to transport my mom…read morefrom a medical rehab to her house last week. I forgot to mention that she needed oxygen which he didn't have at the time, his immediate response was I will run back to the office and get a different van. They returned a short while later with a different van with O2 on board. Upon our arrival home the company that was to deliver oxygen had not arrived yet so we were in a little bind. Ken's response was we will just wait here until that tank is empty. They sat for a while, then left I presume for lunch and returned and just waited outside until the tank had run completely dry. That was absolutely above and beyond any type of service I expected! Then I got an email with the bill, expecting some sticker shock as I opened the email, but nope not these guys. They do not take Medicare but their prices were beyond reasonable and that included all of the extra time and effort they put it in. If you are ever in need of this type of service I can't recommend Diamond any higher. Thank you guys for making a difficult situation so much easier on our family.

I called to ask about them and was quoted their rate. I immediately booked a date and was told they would call to confirm 2 days before my procedure. That call never came. I canceled my appointment. I'm not sure what happened but I would definitely contact another transportation company in the future.
