Our accessible vehicle category is the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi (or equivalent) with rear-ramp wheelchair access.

What it carries

  • 1 wheelchair user + 3-4 ambulatory passengers
  • Standard luggage capacity
  • Per-mile rate £2.40/mi; hourly rate £75/hr

How wheelchair access works

The Caddy has a rear ramp that folds out. Wheelchair rolls up the ramp, secures with the integrated tie-down system, the rear door closes. Ambulatory passengers use side doors and seats normally.

Driver training

Drivers operating accessible vehicles have completed mobility-aid training — ramp deployment, securement check, communication around assistance preferences. We screen for awareness that some passengers prefer self-management and don't need help.

Service dogs

Service dogs (registered under UK law) travel free in any vehicle category, not just accessible. Drivers cannot refuse a service dog — this is statutory.
