Facilities
Our principal executive offices are located in New York City, where we occupy approximately 28,565 square feet under a lease that expires in 2029. We use this facility for administration, sales and marketing and general corporate activities for our Corporate segment. We occupied our former principal executive offices, also located in New York City, until January 2025. Such facility consists of 27,000 square feet and is being subleased to third parties until July 2026. In addition to our headquarters, to support our local operations, as of December 31, 2025, we owned or leased 54 office locations elsewhere in the United States (eleven in New York; nine in Wisconsin; seven in each of California and Pennsylvania; five in each of Delaware and New Jersey; three in each of Tennessee and Texas; two in New Mexico; and one in each of Missouri and Rhode Island). These local facilities are used principally for ambulance basing, garaging and maintenance, as well as for administrative activities and general oversight for our Mobile Health Services and Transportation Services segments. Outside of the United States, we currently lease 14 facilities in England. These facilities are used for administrative functions and ambulance basing for our Mobile Health Services and Transportation Services segments. Our leases for our U.S. facilities expire at various dates through 2030, and our leases for our U.K. facilities expire at various dates through 2034. We believe our existing facilities are adequate to meet our current requirements, and we anticipate that suitable space will be readily available if needed. We intend to procure additional, similar facilities as we expand geographically.
Vehicle Fleet
As of December 31, 2025, we operated 582 vehicles in the United States, including 375 ambulances, 35 ambulettes and 172 basic transportation or support vehicles. Approximately 50% of our fleet is leased and 50% is owned. We replace ambulances based upon age and usage, generally every five to eight years. The average age of our existing active ambulance fleet is approximately four years. We generally prefer to lease vehicles, but we have purchased vehicles in the past when deemed appropriate. Most of our owned vehicles were acquired in connection with business acquisitions.
As of December 31, 2025, we operated another 288 vehicles in the United Kingdom, including 41 first response ambulances, 6 bariatric ambulances, 12 primary care paramedic cars, 11 rapid response vehicles, 12 mental health transport vehicles, 22 high dependency units, 174 patient transport vehicles and 10 support vehicles. Approximately 92% of our U.K. fleet is owned and approximately 8% is leased.
We use a combination of commercial and in-house maintenance services to maintain our fleet. In those geographies where quality external commercial maintenance services are able to meet our quality standards, we will utilize those commercial maintenance services. We continue to explore ways to decrease our overall maintenance expenditures for vehicles, including major refurbishing and overhaul of our vehicles to extend their useful life.
