What is a Standard Car Transportation?
A Standard Car Transportation means a safe, insured ride in a regular sedan or SUV for clients who do not need wheelchair-accessible or stretcher transport. At Lien Rides, standard cars are the most common option, providing comfort and convenience for injured individuals attending appointments related to their personal injury case.
Unlike public rideshare apps, Lien Rides works on a lien basis, meaning clients pay nothing upfront. Rides are authorized through their attorney and documented for case compliance.
When to Choose Standard Car Transportation
Clients and law firms typically request standard car service for:
- Doctor and therapy appointments
- Imaging centers (MRI, X-ray, CT)
- Pharmacy pickups
- Independent medical evaluations (IMEs)
- Routine legal or case-related travel
If no special medical equipment or wheelchair is required, a standard sedan ride is the most efficient and cost-effective choice.
