Disability Transport (Taxi/Cab) for Kent

[MustangLady]

Hi all. Really needing your help on this one, I have a friend who will be visiting the area this weekend and staying at hotel in the Swanley (Kent) area. He is in wheelchair (severly disabled) and needs a cab service that will be able to take him in his wheelchair from Swanley to Gravesend/and return on Sunday. Any ideas where I can find a cab/taxi service who has wheelchair access, he has phoned a few but cannot find one at this time this is able to take him. Is there a website or something I can access to help him? Appreciate your help.

Try phoning your local authority as they are responsible for taxi licencing and often have quotas for accessible cabs - I know there are loads in my area as the council have a high quota requirement. They may be able to provide details of which companies have such cabs.

Very grateful for your help, both of you. I will be passing the numbers to my friend for Sunday... thank you :)

Just a point Mustang, If it's a normal Black Cab make sure it has Hooking points for the wheel chair, a lot do not but rely on the person that is with the wheelchair user to hold the chair.
