Quick Summary
Book if you have an appointment with an exact time.
Allow margin for traffic, entry and orientation within the center.
For life-threatening emergencies, call emergency services, not a taxi.
Appointments and tests
If you're going to a consultation or test at a fixed time, calculate extra time. Arriving in a rush increases stress and could cause you to miss your turn.
Taxis also facilitate the return if you leave tired or can't drive after a test.
Companions
When a senior or someone with limited mobility travels, a companion can help with access and appointment management. Indicate the number of passengers when requesting the taxi.
Emergencies
A taxi is not a substitute for health emergency services. If there are serious symptoms, loss of consciousness, intense pain or life risk, use the corresponding emergency number.
