What’s Different About Our Accessible Vehicles
Not every taxi can handle a wheelchair. Ours are built for it.
Ramp for boarding. No lifting needed. Securement points to lock the wheelchair safely during the ride. Wide doors. Spacious interior. Room for a carer or support person. Professional drivers trained in accessibility.
You roll on at your own pace. Sit in your wheelchair or transfer to a seat. No hassle.
Who Actually Uses These
People who use wheelchairs. People with walkers, canes, crutches. Older adults who find regular taxis hard to board. Carers moving groups.
It’s not just one-on-one trips. Families with a disabled family member travel together. Disability service providers book for multiple clients at once.
NDIS Funding
If you’re on an NDIS plan, transport costs might be covered. Check your plan details. A lot of people fund maxi taxi trips through NDIS.
How it works:
1. Check your plan for transport funding (usually under Assistive Technology or Supports for Daily Living)
2. Get planner approval if needed
3. Book with us. We can invoice NDIS or you pay and claim back
4. Keep receipts
We handle NDIS invoicing all the time. It’s straightforward.
Booking
Tell us what you need:
– Your name, contact details
– Whether it’s NDIS, private pay, or something else
– Pickup and drop-off addresses
– Date and time
– How many people, including carers or support workers
– What mobility aids you use (wheelchair, walker, etc.)
– Anything specific you need
We give you a fixed price. Confirm a few days before with the driver.
Ways to book:
– Call directly (easier if you have accessibility needs)
– Use our online booking form (mention accessibility needs in the notes)
– Email us with details
Don’t worry about explaining perfectly. We know what to ask.
Cost
Accessible maxi taxi trips cost a bit more than standard vehicles because the vehicles themselves cost more to run. But the price is fixed. No surprises.
Rough example:
– Standard maxi taxi Fremantle to CBD: $60-80
– Accessible maxi taxi same route: $80-100
Split among a group, it’s still reasonable per person.
If NDIS covers it, we invoice them directly. You don’t pay upfront.
Groups and Support Workers
A lot of accessible bookings are group trips. Disability service providers book for multiple clients. Family outings with one family member who needs accessibility.
A 10-seater accessible maxi can take 1-2 wheelchair users plus carers and other passengers. Good for group activities.
What Actually Happens on the Day
Driver arrives early. Confirms what you need.
If you’re in a wheelchair, the ramp lowers. You roll on at your own pace. Driver secures the chair with straps if you want to stay in it, or you transfer to a seat if that’s easier.
The ride is smooth. Driver knows the route. No aggressive stops or sharp turns. Climate control keeps it comfortable.
At the end, driver helps you exit safely. Same care lowering the ramp.
Beyond the Vehicle
Accessibility isn’t just about the taxi. It’s about the whole thing.
You can call us. You’re not stuck with a voicemail system. Bookings are confirmed in writing. We send text reminders if you prefer. Driver waits if you need extra time. No rush. No judgment.
Our drivers are trained in disability awareness. It shows.
