As we grow older, getting around can become more challenging—especially when driving no longer feels safe or comfortable. While South Carolina has no legal age limit for driving, age, medical conditions, and advancing vehicle technology can make it harder for many seniors to stay behind the wheel confidently.
Fortunately, if driving isn’t the best option for you anymore, there are plenty of safe and reliable transportation services available across the Lowcountry. Whether you need a ride to the doctor, the grocery store, or even the airport, several organizations and companies offer transportation tailored to your needs.
