Long distance
Going further? We've got it covered. From statewide trips to out of state travel, Sunshine Rides provides coordinated, long-distance transportation you can rely on.
For Medicaid Riders
The process of booking a ride looks slightly different for Medicaid funded rides and private pay rides.
Medicaid transportation follows specific state and federal guidelines designed to protect the program and the people it serves. Verifications often include appointment verification and long distance authorization. These measures help prevent fraud, maintain program integrity, and ensure continued to access to reliable transportation for eligible riders.
Schedule your ride
Once you know the timing of your appointment, call or text our dispatch team at 970-777-7777 to book a ride.
We have Medicaid expert staff members who can verify your coverage and eligibility, and answer any questions you may have.
Please book your medical ride at least 24 hours in advance. Early notice allows us to best schedule our drivers and vehicles.
Plan to be early to your appointment
Even if your provider is nearby, we recommend scheduling your pickup at least one hour before your appointment. For example, for a 12:00 pm appointment, plan to depart by 11:00 am.
Our service is designed to support medical and mobility needs across Colorado, which means our operations differ from typical on-demand ride-share services. Factors like road closures or extended appointments can occasionally affect timing, so we encourage a buffer to ensure you arrive on time.
For Private Pay Riders
To ensure a smooth and well-coordinated trip, we'll ask for a few quick details when you book:
→ luggage space needs
→ exact pickup and drop-off locations
→ primary rider's name
→ contact phone number
This helps us match you with the right vehicle, provide accurate pricing, and plan your ride with care.
Whenever possible, please book at least 24 hours in advance -- early notice allows us to best schedule our drivers and vehicles.
Best practice for on time arrival
Payment
We recommended scheduling your pickup time for 30 minutes ahead of your intended departure.
We serve a wide range of industries, terrains, and personal needs across Colorado, and occasional delays like road closures or extended appointments can occur. This timing buffer allows our dispatchers to adjust for real-world conditions while maintaining our commitment to reliability and care. A little extra time helps ensure you arrive relaxed and on schedule.
For most trips, we'll collect your payment information to hold on file and charge your card only once your ride is complete. We'll always provide you with a clear trip quote.
For certain long distance trips, payment may be required upfront. Our dispatch team will guide you through the process, answer your questions and ensure your payment experience is smooth and straightforward.
