Why Choose National Wheelchair Transport Services Instead of Standard Wheelchair Taxis?

Unlike standard wheelchair taxis, which often use side-entry ramps and smaller vehicles, our transport service is designed with the needs of wheelchair users in mind from start to finish.

  • Greater clearance height and width for comfortable boarding
  • Spacious interiors for large or powered wheelchairs
  • Smooth, gentle access via ramp or powered winch
  • Secure four-point wheelchair restraint systems
  • Dedicated seatbelts for every wheelchair user

Because we provide wheelchair transport on every single journey, our vehicles are maintained and adapted with care, and our drivers are trained to understand and meet your mobility needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

We offer a dedicated, specialist wheelchair transport service — not a general taxi or black cab. Our rear-entry vehicles are larger, safer, and more comfortable than the side-entry vehicles used by many standard wheelchair taxis. Our service is always pre-booked, and we only transport wheelchair users, so every journey is personalised and reliable.

No. We do not offer an on-demand service or mobile app. You must pre-book by phone to ensure we allocate the correct vehicle and gather all the relevant journey details. This allows us to provide a safer and more accurate service.

No, our vehicles do not carry oxygen. If you require oxygen in transit, we recommend using a private ambulance service. We specialise in non-emergency wheelchair transport.

Here’s how our process works:
• Two front straps with hooks secure the wheelchair
• The user is rolled slowly up the ramp into the vehicle
• Two rear straps are then connected and tightened securely
• A dedicated seatbelt is placed around the user for added safety
• A powered winch is used if the combined wheelchair and user weight makes it difficult to manually board safely

• Manual wheelchairs
• Powered wheelchairs
