Pre-trip chauffeur COVID-19 testing now available

You can now have Teddy’s test your chauffeur the day before your trip. Teddy’s will have the CareStart COVID-19 rapid antigen test administered to your scheduled chauffeur. This is a ‘rapid test.’ Results are available immediately but rapid tests for antigens are less reliable than the PCR tests and by requesting this service you agree Teddy’s Transportation  System and it’s owners, executives and staff will be held harmless. The cost of this service is $75.00 each.

UPDATE AUG 24, 2020   Car traffic in New York and Boston are back up to 80% of pre-pandemic levels and TSA agents report steady growth in airport passenger counts. If yours is a team that needs to capitalize on face-to-face business in these early back-to-work days, be assured Teddy’s staying ahead of the curve to keep you productive, in traffic and safe en route.
