Cost guide
What does an air ambulance cost?
There's no single price — but you deserve to understand the range and what drives it before you ever speak to anyone. This is a rough guide, not a quote.
Estimate your range
Choose the three options above to see a typical range.
What drives the price
Where the money actually goes
Aircraft type & range — a long-range jet costs far more than a turboprop
Distance & fuel — including any repositioning to reach the patient
Medical crew — a flight physician + ICU nurse vs a single escort nurse
On-board equipment — ventilators, monitors, and ICU-grade kit
Ground ambulances at both ends, plus permits and landing fees
Urgency — a same-day launch costs more than a planned transfer
Why a competitive bid helps you
Because operators bid against each other for your case, you're far more likely to land near the bottom of these ranges than the top — especially when an empty-leg repositioning flight matches your route.
This estimator is for general guidance only and does not constitute a quote. Actual costs vary widely with each case and are confirmed in writing once operators bid.
