Unless a person is covered by an agency that contracts with Quadco for the service, the fee is $2.50 if the trip is within a three-mile radius each way; outside the radius, the cost is $2.50 plus 75 cents a mile.

For trips outside the immediate four-county area, the fee is $5 plus an additional 75 cents a mile, as well as an hourly wait fee.
