Non-urgent transport is only available for medical reasons. Are you less mobile and do you need transport to go to the hairdresser or to visit a family member in hospital? Then you cannot use non-urgent medical transport. There are alternatives, however:
- The Minder Mobielen Centrales
The Minder Mobielen Centrales work with volunteer drivers who can transport you in their own car. The service is available in more than two hundred Flemish municipalities. You can explore the options at mindermobielencentrale.be and request your journey at least 48 hours in advance. At the end of the trip, you pay a mileage allowance based on the number of kilometres driven, plus any parking costs.
- A taxi
Some municipalities provide taxi vouchers for residents with reduced mobility. Check with your local council to see whether taxi vouchers are available and under which conditions. The level of financial support varies from one municipality to another. You can find more information on the website meermobiel.be.
“When my dad had to go to hospital every day for a period of treatment, we were glad we could arrange help with the transport there and back. It meant I could spend more time keeping my parents company, or supporting them with other tasks.”
