Appointment times must be between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. The last return ride is 2:30 pm and all cars are off the road by 3:00 p.m. All riders are advised to have an alternate means of transportation in the event they are not ready for a return ride by 2:30 pm. A five-day advance notice of appointments is advised; at times we are filled to capacity so the sooner you reserve your ride the more likely it is we can accommodate your request.
