# Book a repeating trip

> Book a ride that repeats on set days, like dialysis every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, then pause or end it when plans change.

Book a standing ride once, and HealthRide adds each day's trip to your schedule for you.

## Before you start

**You'll need**

- The rider, the pickup and drop-off, and the pickup time
- The days of the week, and the first and last day

**You can add later**

- A usual driver

## Steps

1. At the top of any page, select the **+** button, then **Trip**. Fill in **Passenger**, **Payer**, **Ride type** and **Travel needs** as for [any trip](/knowledge-base/trips/book-a-trip/).

2. Under **Repeats**, turn on **Repeat this trip**.

3. In **First and last day**, pick when the schedule starts and ends. It starts on today and runs for 90 days until you change it.

4. Under **On these days**, select the days, like **Mon**, **Wed** and **Fri**.

5. Under **Route**, add the pickup and drop-off, and type the **Pickup time**. For the ride home, select **Round trip** and type its pickup time.

6. If one driver usually takes this ride, pick them in **Usual driver**. Each day's trip goes to them when they have a shift that day.

7. Select **Create recurring trip**. You'll see "Recurring trip created."

## Pause, end or change it

1. In the menu on the left, under **Operations**, select **Trips**. Then select the **Recurring** tab.

2. Select the rider's row. You'll see the days it repeats and the next trip dates.

3. Select **Pause** to stop new trips for a while, like when the rider is in the hospital. Trips already on your schedule stay. Select **Resume** to start again.

4. Or select **End repeating…**, then **End repeating**, to stop it for good. Upcoming trips that never ran are removed. Trips that already happened stay in your trips.

To change one day, open that day's trip on the **Trips** tab. Select **Edit trip** to change the time or an address, or [cancel it](/knowledge-base/trips/cancel-or-no-show/). To change the days or the pickup time from now on, end the repeating trip and book a new one.

## Good to know

- **You see 45 days ahead.** HealthRide keeps the next 45 days of trips on your schedule, so you can plan them and give them to drivers.
- **There's no price on the form.** Each day's trip is priced from your rates when it's added.
- **No shift, no driver.** On a day the usual driver has no shift, the trip waits under **Unassigned** on Dispatch. It goes to them once you add their shift in the [crew schedule](/knowledge-base/dispatch/crew-schedule/).
- **Made it by mistake?** If none of its trips ran or were billed, select **Delete series…** to erase the schedule and all its trips.

## If something looks wrong

| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| **Create recurring trip** stays gray | Point at it to see what's missing, like "Pick a pickup time." or "Pick the days it repeats." |
| Trips still show after you paused | Pause only stops new trips. Cancel the ones already booked, or select **End repeating…**. |
| The usual driver didn't get a trip | They had no shift that day, or someone took the trip off them. Give it to them on **Dispatch**. |
