Wheelchair Accessible Taxi in Southampton

One wheelchair per vehicle, plus up to three other passengers. That is the safe configuration, because the chair needs a four point tie down and the boarding ramp needs space to work, and we will not compromise either to fit more in.

It depends on the vehicle, and we will tell you which when you book. Some use a side ramp for rolling straight in, others use a rear tail lift with an electric hoist, and either can be specified for a manual or powered chair.

Yes, our drivers are trained in passenger transfer and will assist you into the seat with the equipment appropriate to your needs, whether that is a hoist, a transfer board or a simple assisted seatbelt pull. Tell us what you need and we will send a driver who can do it.

Please book at least 24 hours ahead where you can, because accessible vehicles are a smaller part of the fleet and we need to allocate the right one. We can usually help with same day requests, but a confirmed booking is much safer for a hospital appointment.

There is less than in a standard vehicle because the chair occupies the space, so tell us what luggage you are travelling with. Day bags and a case are usually fine, but a family of five with four large suitcases needs a second car booked alongside.

Yes, accessible transport is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including bank holidays. Book in advance for overnight and weekend journeys so we can hold a suitable vehicle for you.
