Wheelchair accessible vehicles

At Glasgow Taxis we are proud that all our vehicles are wheelchair accessible. Our taxi drivers, too, are externally trained and assessed by Council-approved assessors to ensure they are able to provide the best possible taxi service for disabled people.

Our taxi drivers will assist with wheelchair access and will ensure that wheelchairs are properly and safely secured before setting off on a journey, assisting passengers to disembark at the other end too.

Taxi drivers are also trained to help people with moderate walking difficulties, as well as those with impaired vision or hearing.

ACCESSIBLE TAXIS

All 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.

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. If you have any special requirements, please highlight these when booking so we can do everything possible to make sure you have a safe and comfortable journey.
