About ambulatory rides in Del Mar
Ambulatory medical transportation is the right fit for patients who are mobile enough to walk with or without a light assist but still need safe, professional transportation to and from a medical appointment. That could be a senior going to a cardiology follow-up, a parent returning to a post-op check after outpatient surgery, or a dialysis patient who walks to and from the chair. Our ambulatory fleet includes clean sedans and low-step vans, both driven by professionals trained in first aid, CPR, and respectful patient support.
Del Mar (serving zip codes 92014) is a core coverage area for DayLight. Del Mar is a small coastal city north of San Diego, anchored by the racetrack and a long-time senior community. DayLight provides wheelchair, ambulatory, and gurney transportation across Del Mar — to Scripps Green La Jolla, UCSD Jacobs, and Scripps Encinitas.
We partner with families, case managers, and facility staff to keep ambulatory rides simple and reliable. Drivers arrive at the confirmed pickup window, help the rider into the vehicle (and with any walker, cane, or small oxygen unit), and maintain a calm, unrushed pace. When a rider’s mobility changes between trips, we will suggest the right service level - wheelchair, ambulatory, or gurney - without upselling.

How it works
- Book your appointment time. Share pickup, drop-off, and any mobility aids you bring along.
- Dispatch confirms the vehicle. Sedan or low-step van, whichever best fits the rider and route.
- Ride door to door. The driver meets you at the door and assists in and out of the vehicle as needed.
