Common questions
Which areas do you cover?
We're based in Bairnsdale, East Gippsland, and can collect passengers from Bairnsdale, Stratford and Sale. Trips run to Sale (including Central Gippsland Health), Traralgon (including Latrobe Regional Health), and Melbourne hospitals and specialists, for both appointments and hospital discharges.
How do I book?
Bookings will open soon. Register your interest using the form below and we'll contact you as soon as they do. Once open, all bookings are made in writing, by email to adam@roadrunnerdriverservices.com.au or through our online form, so that confirmations and tax invoices can be issued and kept on record. Calls and texts are for general enquiries only.
What times do you drive?
Trips are timed around your appointment, not our enquiry hours. For a morning appointment in Melbourne, for example, we'll collect you early enough to arrive with time to spare. Our 8am–7pm enquiry hours are simply when we answer calls and texts.
Can I bring a carer or support person?
Yes. One carer or support person may travel with you at no extra charge. Please let us know when booking so we can arrange seating.
Can two patients share a trip?
Yes. When two patients are travelling to the same hospital or town on the same day, they can share the trip and each pays a reduced per-patient rate. Appointment times need to be within two hours of each other, and the return trip leaves once both patients are finished. Up to four passengers can travel in total, so carers still travel free while seats are available. If one patient cancels, the other patient's trip goes ahead at the standard single-patient price.
Can you transport wheelchairs or stretchers?
Our service is for passengers who are able to travel seated, so we are unable to transport wheelchair or stretcher passengers. A folding walker fits comfortably in the boot.
What if my appointment runs late?
That's no problem. Your driver will wait. Simply send a text when you're finished and we'll meet you at the front entrance.
Can NDIS or my insurer pay?
A tax invoice showing our ABN and GST is provided for every trip, so you can claim the cost back. If your NDIS plan is self-managed or plan-managed, transport to appointments may be claimable. Please check with your plan manager or support coordinator. WorkCover and insurance clients can forward the same invoice to their case manager or insurer.
