WHEELCHAIR TAXI
Dedicated to serve our community safe and
comfortable rides
King Cabs provides professional and reliable wheelchair taxi services in Christchurch for passengers who use wheelchairs, have limited mobility, or require additional assistance when travelling.
Our wheelchair-accessible taxi service is available for everyday journeys, hospital and medical appointments, work, shopping, social activities, family outings and Christchurch Airport transfers. We understand that accessible transport requires more than simply providing a vehicle. Passengers need a service that is safe, respectful, comfortable and dependable.
King Cabs provides accessible transport throughout Christchurch and surrounding areas, with experienced drivers who understand the additional care required when assisting wheelchair users and passengers with mobility needs.
Whether you require a wheelchair taxi for a one-off journey or regular transport, you can pre-book with King Cabs and advise us of your mobility requirements so that the appropriate vehicle can be arranged.
Our wheelchair-accessible taxis in Christchurch are designed to make travelling more convenient for passengers who may find it difficult or impossible to use a standard vehicle.
Depending on the passenger’s requirements and the vehicle being used, passengers may be able to remain safely seated in their wheelchair during the journey. Wheelchairs are appropriately positioned and secured before the vehicle begins travelling.
Our drivers take additional care during pickup and drop-off and can provide reasonable assistance when passengers are entering or leaving the vehicle.
Family members, carers and support people can also travel with the wheelchair passenger, subject to the seating capacity and configuration of the vehicle.
If you are travelling as a larger family or group, please advise us of the total number of passengers, wheelchair requirements and luggage when booking. For larger groups that do not require wheelchair accessibility, you can also learn more about our Maxi Taxi Christchurch service.
