VSL vehicles are unique forms of medical transportation that stand out from others by their distinctive white carrosserie and six-branched blue croix, giving it its distinctive marking as healthcare vehicles. Their purpose is to transport patients directly to centers of care (hospital, clinic or otherwise) or specialist physicians as desired by each patient.
However, VSL taxis can transport patients to destinations determined by medical prescription and emergency movements as well. Thus, VSL versus traditional taxis stand out in terms of security.
Further, the VSL can accommodate three passengers simultaneously while, unlike an ambulance, traditional taxis may accommodate more than one individual depending on their capacity.
VSL taxi companies make safety and comfort for patients their number one concern, providing amenagement vehicles to guarantee maximum protection, along with chauffeurs who are highly-skilled at meeting individual patients’ specific needs.
Taxi VSL costs are covered by medical insurance policies, enabling patients to avoid extra expenses. Furthermore, some routes (consultations appointments, routine treatments and hospitalisations) can even be reimbursed to families for a portion of their journeys.
