Individual Ambulance

Individual Ambulances fall under the patient transport ambulance category and are also known as conventional ambulances. They are vehicles designed to transport patients on a stretcher and they are equipped to non-urgently transfer patients who are not suffering from infectious/contagious diseases.

This type of ambulance, which is also known as A1 or IT (Individual Transport) must have, at least, a driver in possession of a professional ambulance transport certificate, as outlined in Royal Decree 836/2012, of 20 May, and, when required by the service, a health assistant with the same certification.

Use of Individual Ambulances is frequent in transfers to hospitals, clinics and residences, hospital admission and discharges, medical visits, sports reserves and social events.

You may request a quote for a transfer or our individual ambulance service, free of obligations.
