Summit, New Jersey · Union County
Overlook Medical Center Transportation
A professional chauffeur, a clean vehicle, and a confirmed pickup time for appointments, procedures, treatments, and discharges at Overlook Medical Center — booked in advance, dispatched around the clock.
Non-emergency transportation only. In a medical emergency, call 911.
Overlook sits on a hill above Summit with the Manhattan skyline in the distance, and it draws patients from well beyond Union County. The Carol G. Simon Cancer Center, the Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute and the Atlantic Neuroscience Institute are all on that campus, so a lot of the people we drive there aren't local at all.
Hospital days run on someone else's clock. You're told not to drive yourself home, you don't know exactly when you'll be released, and the last thing you want is to negotiate a ride from a lobby chair while you're still groggy.
We handle it differently. Your reservation is confirmed in advance, a chauffeur is assigned to you, and our dispatch team answers at any hour. You get confirmed pricing and no surge, whether the appointment starts at 5 AM or runs three hours longer than planned.
Rides We Arrange to Overlook
Six situations we handle every week for Summit-area families, patients, and visiting relatives.
Surgery & Procedure Days
When you're told you can't drive yourself home after sedation, a chauffeur handles both legs of the trip.
Infusion & Ongoing Treatment
Recurring appointments booked as a standing schedule, so it's arranged once instead of every single week.
Discharge & Rides Home
Call dispatch as soon as you have a release time. We work with hospital timing rather than against it.
Family & Visitor Transportation
Relatives dropped right at the entrance. No parking deck, no circling, no long walk back to the car.
Out-of-Town Patients
Direct transfers from Newark, JFK, LaGuardia, Teterboro, and Morristown Municipal airports.
Senior Appointment Rides
A familiar, unhurried chauffeur for parents and grandparents who no longer drive themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions Summit families ask us most often.
Do you provide transportation to Overlook Medical Center in Summit, NJ?
Yes. We provide non-emergency chauffeured car service to and from Overlook Medical Center at 99 Beauvoir Avenue in Summit, for appointments, procedures, treatments, discharges, and visitor drop-offs.
Can you pick someone up after a procedure when they can't drive?
Yes, and it's one of the most common reasons people book us. Call dispatch once a release time is known and we adjust the pickup to match.
Is this a medical transport or ambulance service?
No. Basking Ridge Limousine Services is a licensed chauffeured car service for passengers who can walk to and enter a vehicle. We do not provide medical care. In a medical emergency, call 911.
Will the chauffeur wait during a short appointment?
Yes. Wait-and-return service is available — let dispatch know the expected length of the appointment when you book.
Can I book recurring rides for ongoing treatment?
Yes. We set up standing schedules for weekly or repeating appointments so the ride doesn't need to be re-booked each time.
What if the discharge time changes?
Call or text our 24/7 dispatch and we'll reschedule the pickup. Hospital timing rarely runs exactly to plan, and your reservation is built to flex.
Do you pick up from the airport for out-of-town family?
Yes. We run direct transfers from Newark Liberty, JFK, LaGuardia, Teterboro, Morristown Municipal, and Philadelphia to Summit and the surrounding towns.
How do I book, and how is pricing handled?
Book online, by phone, text, WhatsApp, or through the app. You get confirmed pricing and no surge, so the rate holds regardless of the hour or the day.
