We provide wheelchair accessible transport for small groups using our wheelchair accessible minibus fleet.
Delivering a safe and comfortable journey throughout the City and County areas, our vehicles can carry you and your wheelchair for those that need to travel in their own wheelchair or have limited mobility. All accessible minibuses are fitted with a tail lift and easy access step.
Our fleet of wheelchair accessible minibuses are based mainly in the City area but we can cover the County & Rutland. We have a range of 8 or 16 seater minibuses.
Door-to-door transport is available provided by trained & insured drivers.
Our team of drivers have received training in: First Aid, Health & Safety, Safeguarding, Equality and Diversity, Dementia Awareness, Manual Handling of people, and Vehicle training. They are also experienced in assisting people in wheelchairs or with limited mobility.
Charges apply for the use of our transport services and these very much depend on your circumstances and the type of transport required.
