Long-Distance Medical Transportation — Florida to Canada & Across the USA
When someone you love needs to get home — across the state, across the country, or across the border to Canada — MediMoves brings them safely by ground. We’re an international medical transportation company with our own teams in Florida and in Ontario, Canada, so we manage the entire journey door-to-door, including the border crossing. It’s the safe, comfortable, and far more affordable alternative to an air ambulance.

A Safe, Affordable Alternative to an Air Ambulance
If a patient is medically stable but can’t manage a commercial flight, ground transport is far more affordable than an air ambulance and much gentler on the patient — no airports, no transfers, straight from one bedside to another. Trips run from a single hour to 48 hours or more, with a dedicated medical attendant caring for the patient the entire way.
How It Works — Five Simple Steps
Step 1
Call & Free Quote. Speak with a Care Manager any time, day or night. Tell us the pickup and destination, the patient’s condition, and your timing, and we’ll give you a clear, all-in quote — no hidden fees.

Step 4
The Journey. A dedicated medical attendant monitors and cares for the patient the whole way, while drivers work in shifts so we keep moving safely, stopping only for fuel and restroom breaks. Family can follow by GPS and receives regular updates.
Step 5
Safe Arrival. We complete a calm bedside handoff at the destination — home, hospital, or care facility — on either side of the border.
Florida to Canada — Our Specialty
This is what truly sets MediMoves apart. Because we operate in both countries, our cross-border trips — including the border crossing itself — are coordinated end to end by our own teams, never handed off to a stranger halfway. Whether a patient is returning home to Ontario, Quebec, or anywhere in Canada after a winter in Florida, being discharged from a Florida hospital, or transferring between facilities across the border, we manage every mile. Our Canadian snowbird repatriation service is among the very best available.
Optional: Our Rapid Response Pre-Travel Assessment Team
When a patient is in Florida and their family is in Canada or out of state, the distance is one of the hardest parts. Age, health, or border restrictions can make it impossible to be there in person — leaving families with no one on the ground to see the situation, ask the right questions, and keep things moving. Our optional Rapid Response Pre-Travel Assessment Team fills that gap. We can have a representative at the Florida hospital or facility within 24 hours to be your eyes and ears: meeting the care team in person, keeping you informed with clear updates, advocating for a timely and well-prepared discharge, and handling the practical details — from packing your loved one’s belongings to arranging diet-appropriate meals for the journey home. It’s peace of mind for families who can’t be there, and one less thing to worry about before the trip.
- On the ground at the Florida hospital or facility within 24 hours
- Your personal, in-person liaison with hospital and care staff
- Clear, direct communication and updates for the family
- Advocating for a timely, well-coordinated discharge and travel preparation
- Packing and organizing the patient’s belongings
- Arranging diet-appropriate meals for the long-distance trip
Ask your Care Manager about adding the Rapid Response Pre-Travel Assessment Team.

What Affects Your Cost
Every trip is quoted individually. The main factors are the distance travelled, the level of medical care required, any special equipment (such as oxygen), the timing or urgency of the trip, and whether it’s one-way or round-trip. We provide a clear, all-inclusive quote up front, with no hidden fees.
