How do I know if a tour is suitable for my accessibility needs?

Where can I find detailed accessibility information?

  • destination and tour pages
  • the accessibility section on each tour page
  • dedicated accessibility blog posts for certain attractions and cities

If you still have questions, you are always welcome to contact us directly.

Are your tours private or shared?

Our accessible tours are private, allowing for greater flexibility and adaptation to individual preferences and mobility needs.

In which language are your tours?

English is the standard language. Where possible, we provide additional language options.

ACCESSIBLE TRANSFERS

What is a wheelchair accessible taxi?

A wheelchair accessible taxi is a specially adapted vehicle designed to transport passengers who remain in their wheelchair or scooter during the journey. These vehicles come with a rear ramp or hydraulic lift and professional tie-down systems for a safe and comfortable transfer.

Discover more on our dedicated webpage.

Do I need to book my wheelchair taxi in advance?

Yes, always. Adapted vehicles are scarce in most European cities and at cruise ports. We cannot arrange same-day bookings. Booking in advance guarantees availability and avoids last-minute stress.

Why can't I just go to the taxi-stand for airport transfers?

Wheelchair taxis are often not available or allowed at the airport or cruise port. Therefore googling “wheelchair transportation near me” or “wheelchair accessible taxi near me” will often give no results. Pre-booking a wheelchair accessible taxi service takes away all stress, and avoids long waiting time.

Do you arrange transfers for groups?

Yes. Whether you are travelling alone or with a larger group, we arrange the right vehicle for your needs. This can range from an adapted taxi for one wheelchair user to a minibus for larger groups with multiple wheelchair or scooter users.

Why do I need to provide the dimensions of my wheelchair?

Not every wheelchair is the same, not every wheelchair accessible taxi is the same. We will check with the driver prior to your arrival if your wheelchair fits the vehicle and fits the ramp width. In case needed we arrange a larger size vehicle, or offer a wheelchair van service.

Why do I need to provide information about my luggage?

Transportation for disabled people should be guaranteed. Besides your wheelchair or scoot transfer, guests bring luggage for their holidays. We would like to avoid situations in where your adapted vehicle does not have enough space to carry your luggage.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Delays happen. We use your flight number to track your flight, so your driver is always up to date. One hour of waiting time is included in every airport transfer. If your delay runs longer than that, we will always do our best to find a solution, though additional waiting costs may apply.

What happens if my ship is delayed?

Our wheelchair cab service is used to the fact that disembarking takes time and that you may be later than the agreed pick-up time. We always ask for a mobile contact number, so in case of any emergency we or our disabled transportation services company can contact you.

Can you arrange a transfer from a train station?

Yes, we arrange wheelchair taxi transfers to and from train stations across Europe. Make sure to book in advance to guarantee an adapted vehicle is available for your arrival.

Do taxis that take wheelchairs also carry baby seats?

Wheelchair accessible taxicabs are not obliged to carry baby seats. Please notify us prior so we can arrange a baby seat.

How much does a wheelchair taxi cost in Europe?

The price depends on your destination, the distance, the number of passengers, the total amount of luggage and the type of vehicle needed. The easiest way to get an accurate price is to request a quote. One of our travel agents will come back to you with a clear price for your specific journey.

MOBILITY EQUIPMENT RENTAL

What mobility equipment can I rent?

Depending on the destination, available equipment may include:

  • manual wheelchairs
  • electric wheelchairs
  • mobility scooters
  • shower chairs
  • hoists
  • other mobility aids

What kind of wheelchairs and scooters do you offer?

We offer a variety of different travel wheelchair rental, such as a manual wheelchair, foldable wheelchair and electric wheelchairs. Additionally we have various disability scooter rental, as heavy duty scooter, a foldable scooter, 4-wheel drive scooter.

Can you deliver my rental equipment in my hotel room or cruise cabin?

When staying in a hotel, your rental equipment can be delivered directly into your room.

In the port of Barcelona, we have authority to deliver right into your cruise cabin. Please note this is only possible for cruises with Barcelona as departure and termination point.

Feel free to contact us to ask about the possibilities

Please note, due to the cruise liner’s regulations, we can unfortunately no longer deliver rental equipment to MSC cruises.

Where should I leave my rental equipment following the use during my cruise?

On the final day of the cruise, the rental equipment can be left in the cabin where it will be collected. Please make sure that the cabin steward is aware that your special equipment will be collected from the cabin and must not be moved to an alternative location.

ACCOMMODATIONS

How do we reserve a hotel room?

We can help you secure an accessible hotel room. Some hotels only require a credit card to secure the reservation. When that is the case, we will reach out to you and ask you for your credit card name and number, without(!) security number.

This is for reservation purposes only, not for payment.

Do the accomodations have a roll-in shower?

Yes, we check prior to booking if our disability accommodation has a roll-in shower.

Do the accomodations have a hoist?

No there are not a lot of hotels with hoists for disabled people. Please contact us for our hoist rental offerings.
