Hi, my name is Bruce! This is about taxis for heavy electric wheelchairs.

My elderly sister is severely disabled with MS and we are about to move her from her own flat in East London to a residential care home in Whitstable, Kent.  She uses an electric wheelchair which is too heavy for a standard accessible London taxi.  Does anyone know of any good, reliable companies who could provide transport to that region of the UK?  Thank you.

    Hi @BruceStokes I am not familiar with the area. However, a good old google search for "wheelchair accessible taxis whitstable" bought up quite a few companies.  You can also look at their reviews.

    You may have to do a little research.

    Hope this helps a little.
