Accessible taxi for large power chair in south London

louiseheatley

Hi - would anyone have advice for a fully accessible taxi service that covers South London? My friend's chair is too big for a black cab. It's also too big for some bus spaces so it's easiest if he can get around by cab when he can't get a train to where he needs to go.

Thank you!

How about the dial a ride scheme?

Or uber access?

I’d live to know this too!

Dial-a-Rudd isn’t an option unless you aren’t needing to be somewhere for a meeting or something time sensitive and I don’t think they take me outside boundaries into central London

black cabs are also unreliable if you use the Taxicard at any time where it’s rush hour, raining or there are other more lucrative customers

To be honest uber access is often the best of a bad bunch but not for my big power chair - I have to be pushed in my spare manual

Transport and moving around in London and even s London in a power chair is just a nightmare and getting worse from inaccessible shops, transport hubs and the paving is like a bone shaking torture !

I might also add that when I use my blue badge with all the road restrictions and increase badges not to mention central London borough basically banning the use of blue badge for their own schemes it has become - difficult expensive and ridiculously tiring physically to navigate my city.

It can easily cost 75-100 pounds to go into and back from London only 7 miles away

So any suggestion also VERY welcome here too in SW London
