Wheelchair accessible vehicles

disabled_vehicles_picAll our taxis are wheelchair accessible vehicles capable of accommodating passengers with a range of special needs.

Wheelchair ramps are fitted as standard in our taxis, folding down for use and providing a dignified entry for wheelchair users. And once inside the taxi, with the assistance of the trained taxi driver, wheelchair restraint straps ensure that the chair is held firmly in place throughout the journey.

The elderly or those with moderate walking difficulties can make use of the intermediate step and swivel-out seat at the nearside passenger door.

Movement inside the passenger compartment is made easier thanks to easy-grip grab handles which are highlighted, along with seat edging, in colour-contrast material to help people with impaired vision.

For hearing-aid users, an induction loop is incorporated in the intercom system of all taxis.

Please contact our staff to arrange your safe transportation on +44 (0)141 429 7070 to book a wheelchair accessible taxi or speak to one of our customer representatives.
