Drivers with wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs)
Accessible taxis
In line with the Equality Act 2010, if you hire a designated taxi as a wheelchair user, you can expect the driver:
- to carry you while in your wheelchair
- not to make any additional charge for doing so
- to carry your wheelchair, if you choose to sit in a passenger seat
- to carry you safely and in reasonable comfort
The driver should also provide mobility assistance if needed:
- to enable you to get into or out of the vehicle
- to enable you to get into and out of the vehicle while in your wheelchair if you want to travel in your wheelchair
- to load your luggage into or out of the vehicle
- to load your wheelchair into or out of the vehicle if you don't want to remain in the wheelchair
A driver of a designated taxi or designated private hire vehicle is committing an offence if they don't comply with the duties listed above.
