An ambulance is a multi-purpose vehicle usually used for transporting medical staff to the sick and injured. They also quickly transport the sick and injured to better medical facilities, such as a hospital. Ambulances come in different configurations ranging from general all purpose facilities to others that specialize in certain types of emergencies (such as chemical or radiation injuries.) Due to the high initial expense of ambulances, businesses often look into ambulance leasing, preferably from a company that has experience financing patient transport ambulances.

We can help you finance a patient transport ambulance, and we can do such with a minimal application process (and usually get you an answer the same day.)

What Patient Transport Ambulances Do

Patient transport ambulances move people who must lie down or need monitoring on the way but do not need emergency care: transfers between hospitals and care facilities, discharges home and scheduled trips for treatment.

Who Runs Patient Transport Ambulances

Non-emergency transport companies and private ambulance services run them, often under agreements with hospitals, nursing homes and other care facilities.

Patient Transport and Emergency Units

Van-based units are lighter and easier to drive in city traffic, which suits scheduled transport; modular units carry more equipment for emergency work. See ambulance financing and Level IV ambulance financing.

Buying a Used Patient Transport Ambulance

Before buying used, check the mileage and service records, the stretcher mount and loading system, the oxygen system, the patient compartment's lighting and climate control, and the condition of the floor and cabinets.
