What Is a Wheelchair Accessible Taxi (WAV)?
Our WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle) taxis are traditional Hackney black cabs licensed by Liverpool City Council. These are standard-fit vehicles designed for manual wheelchairs only.
Manual Wheelchairs
Equipped with ramps specifically for manual wheelchair users. Please note these standard cabs cannot accommodate large electric chairs.
Secure Restraints
Certified wheelchair clamps and passenger restraints to keep the wheelchair safe and stable throughout the journey.
Standard Headroom
These are standard height Hackney cabs. While suitable for most, very tall passengers may find the vertical clearance restricted.
24/7 Available
Wheelchair accessible taxi available around the clock — early mornings, late nights, bank holidays. Pre-book to guarantee.
Fixed Fares
Transparent pricing with no accessibility premiums. As we are based in Garston, journeys starting further away may include an excess mileage cost, confirmed at booking.
