A wheelchair taxi service can help passengers with mobility needs travel to essential appointments and everyday destinations across Melbourne. Accessible transport is particularly useful for people who prefer to remain in their wheelchair throughout the journey rather than transfer into a standard car.
Wheelchair taxis can be used for hospital visits, specialist appointments, rehabilitation, shopping, employment, community activities and family occasions. They can also provide suitable transport for airport journeys when the required vehicle capacity is available.
An accessible vehicle may include a ramp or lift, sufficient interior space and wheelchair restraint systems. These features are designed to make boarding and travelling more practical for wheelchair users.
When arranging a wheelchair taxi service, passengers should explain their accessibility requirements clearly. Details such as the type of wheelchair, number of passengers and destination can help the provider prepare for the trip.
With suitable equipment and an experienced driver, wheelchair transport can offer a more comfortable option for local and longer-distance travel.
