Specialist Patient Transport Service vehicles for hire across the UK
A Patient Transport Service (PTS) ambulance is a purpose-built vehicle designed to carry patients who require non-emergency medical transport — typically between hospital sites, to and from outpatient appointments, or from care settings to home. Unlike an emergency ambulance, a PTS vehicle is configured for comfort, dignity and safety over speed, with wheelchair-accessible layouts, stretcher-capable interiors and climate-controlled passenger areas.
Hire-Trek's PTS ambulance hire fleet gives NHS Trusts, private hospitals, care homes and community transport providers access to fully serviced, NHS-compliant patient transport vehicles without the capital outlay of purchasing. Every unit is maintained to the same clinical and mechanical standards as the emergency vehicles we build, so your crews and patients travel in a vehicle that is reliable, clean and ready for deployment.

Frequently asked questions about PTS hire
A Patient Transport Service (PTS) ambulance is a non-emergency vehicle built to transport patients who need clinical care or assistance during travel but do not require a 999 emergency response. PTS vehicles are typically wheelchair-accessible and stretcher-capable, and are used for inter-hospital transfers, outpatient appointments and discharges home.
PTS ambulance hire is used by NHS Trusts, private hospitals, care homes, rehabilitation services, local authorities and community transport providers. It suits organisations that need additional patient transport capacity for seasonal demand, contract cover, fleet gaps or new service mobilisation.
