Medical transport in Quincy, from the front door
A ride to the doctor should not begin with a search for a parking space or a bus stop.
At your door
Our driver arrives at your door and helps you into the vehicle, whether you use a wheelchair or walk.
On the stairs
Where stairs stand between you and the street, our specialized equipment helps you down them safely.
Inside the building
At the other end, the driver helps you inside the building and to the right desk.
Treatment rides
We offer dialysis, physical therapy and chemotherapy rides, and both dialysis and physical therapy rides get 10% off.
A senior ride service with help at both ends
Every ride is door-to-door with help inside, so seniors do not manage lobbies, corridors and check-in alone.
Door to desk
The driver walks with you from the door to the desk.
Family booking
Family can book on a parent's behalf and choose the pickup time.
Every passenger
Wheelchair and ambulatory passengers, with help with stairs and inside facilities.
Animal-friendly
Rides for service animals and emotional support animals.
No pressure
Cancel anytime.

Where we pick up in Quincy
Quincy is a city of neighborhoods, each with its own street pattern. Give the exact address and any access detail, and the driver plans the arrival.
Roads and stations around Quincy
Red Line
Four Quincy stops, North Quincy, Wollaston, Quincy Center and Quincy Adams.
Commuter rail
Also runs from Quincy Center.
Highways
Interstate 93 and US Route 1 cross the city.
Next door
Braintree lies just south of Quincy, and all areas we serve lists our other town pages.
A station trip still means reaching the platform, waiting and changing lines. A door-to-door ride skips that, which matters if walking is slow or painful.
Where we go
Hospitals and destinations for Quincy patients
Quincy Medical Center closed in 2014, so hospital trips often mean leaving the city, toward Boston, Milton or Weymouth. Book a ride to any of these.
Boston Medical Center
Located in Boston. For Boston-bound trips, see our Boston page.
Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital-Milton
Located in Milton.
South Shore Hospital
Located in Weymouth.
Dialysis, rehab and clinics
Dialysis centers, rehab centers and clinics in Quincy. For a Braintree pickup, see Braintree.
What a Quincy ride looks like from a family's side
01
A family member books
Most Quincy bookings start with a son, daughter or caregiver, who picks the time, gives the address and checks the estimate.
02
The driver comes to the door
The driver helps the passenger out and into the vehicle, and stays with them through check-in.
03
Someone meets them for the trip home
Passengers who come back after treatment are met at the destination. If a return time is not known, book the outbound leg now and call us when you know.
That gives families one less thing to coordinate around work.
Questions to ask any ride company
Not every ride service works the same way. Before you book anywhere, ask these five things.
- Does the driver come to the door, or only the curb?
- Will the driver help me inside the building?
- Will I see the cost before I confirm?
- Can I cancel if my plans change?
- Who do I call if something changes on the day?
At Carry On, the answers are door, yes, yes, yes and (855) 638-2568.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
10 short answers before you book.
Which Quincy neighborhoods do you serve?
We pick up across Quincy, including Wollaston, North Quincy, Marina Bay, Montclair, Merrymount, Squantum and Hough’s Neck. Enter the exact street address on the booking page. If your address is near a city line, call and we will confirm it.
Which hospitals can I book a ride to from Quincy?
You can book a ride to Boston Medical Center in Boston, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital-Milton in Milton, South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, or any other hospital or clinic. Add the department and entrance, and check the estimate before you confirm.
Is a private ride easier than the Red Line for a senior?
The Red Line has four Quincy stops, but a station trip means getting to the platform, waiting and often changing lines. A door-to-door ride starts at your front door and ends inside the destination, which can be much easier on the body.
What should I tell you about a Quincy high-rise or condo?
Tell us the tower or building name, the entrance you want to use and whether there are steps or a long walk to the lobby. We help with stairs and inside facilities, so the more you tell us, the better the driver can prepare.
Can you pick up from a Quincy nursing home or rehab center?
Yes. Staff or family can book on a resident’s behalf, and our drivers help inside facilities. Give us the facility name, the unit and the appointment time.
Which office handles a Quincy ride, Braintree or Fall River?
Our main office is at 25 Braintree Hill Office Park, #200, in Braintree, the town next to Quincy. Call (855) 638-2568 for any ride. The Fall River office, (508) 642-3995, is our satellite office.
How do I choose wheelchair or ambulatory when booking?
Choose wheelchair if the passenger stays in a wheelchair for the trip. Choose ambulatory if they can walk, with or without a cane or walker. If you are unsure, call (855) 638-2568 and we will help you choose.
Can I book by phone if I dislike online forms?
Yes. Call (855) 638-2568 between 4:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday, and we will take the details. You can also email support@carryonservicesinc.com with the pickup, destination and time.
Does Carry On serve Quincy in the evening or on weekends?
Our office lines are open Monday to Friday, 4:00 am to 5:00 pm. For a ride outside those days or hours, call (855) 638-2568 and ask before you plan around it, so you are not left guessing.
What should I bring to a Quincy appointment?
Bring your photo ID, your insurance cards and a list of your medications, and follow your provider’s own instructions first.
