Wheelchair Accessible Taxi Perth

Book an Accessible Taxi
Add pickup, destination, travel time and passenger details. In the notes, include wheelchair or mobility-aid type, whether the passenger stays seated in the wheelchair, companions, luggage and return-trip needs.
Accessible Transport Starts with the Right Vehicle Information
Accessible taxi bookings should be planned around the passenger rather than treated like a standard car request. Wheelchair Accessible Taxi Perth is intended for passengers who may need a wheelchair accessible vehicle, additional boarding time, space for mobility equipment or a clear pickup plan for a medical, airport or private journey.
Perth Airports Taxi accepts accessible travel requests from homes, hospitals, clinics, aged-care addresses, hotels and other published Perth service areas. The booking should state whether the passenger uses a manual wheelchair, powered wheelchair, mobility scooter, walker or another mobility aid so the correct transport arrangement can be checked before confirmation.
If the passenger needs to remain seated in a wheelchair during the journey, say so clearly. Wheelchair dimensions, approximate combined passenger-and-chair weight, companion count and luggage can affect the vehicle required. A folding wheelchair that travels in the luggage area may have different requirements from an occupied wheelchair that must be secured inside a wheelchair accessible vehicle.

- Perth Airport T1, T2, T3 and T4 bookings.

What Is a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle in Western Australia?
Transport WA defines wheelchair accessible vehicles, or WAVs, as on-demand passenger transport vehicles used to carry people with disability and their mobility aids. These vehicles require specific modifications that may include ramps, hoists and wheelchair tiedown and occupant-restraint equipment.
WA also requires WAVs to meet relevant Australian Standards for vehicle-mounted ramps or hoists and wheelchair tiedown and occupant-restraint systems. WAVs may carry other taxi passengers, but they are legally required to give priority to passengers in wheelchairs. Current WA wheelchair accessible vehicle requirements explain these standards in more detail.
When booking Wheelchair Accessible Taxi Perth, tell the team whether the passenger must travel while seated in the wheelchair. This is the key distinction that determines whether a purpose-modified WAV is required rather than a conventional vehicle that can simply carry a folded mobility aid.
- Occupied wheelchair travel requires specific vehicle planning.
- Ramps or hoists are WAV equipment, not standard-car features.
- Wheelchair restraint requirements apply during transport.
- Chair size and weight information helps vehicle matching.
- Companion seating should be included in the booking.
- Medical or travel equipment should be listed in advance.
- Return-trip timing can be arranged before pickup.
- Accessibility needs may differ from passenger to passenger.
Wheelchairs, Mobility Scooters and Other Mobility Aids
A wheelchair and a mobility scooter are not treated the same way for transport. Transport WA states that a wheelchair accessible taxi is not designed to carry, load or unload a passenger while the passenger is seated on a mobility scooter or gopher. The passenger must transfer from the scooter before it is loaded into the vehicle.
For a wheelchair booking, provide the chair type, approximate dimensions and whether the passenger can transfer to a standard seat. For a mobility scooter, confirm that the passenger can transfer and provide the scooter dimensions so loading and storage can be discussed before the trip.
Wheelchair Accessible Taxi Perth bookings can also include walkers, folding frames, portable medical equipment or other mobility aids. List these items with luggage so the complete load is considered when the vehicle is arranged.
Request Accessible Vehicle Planning
Wheelchair Taxi for Hospital and Medical Appointments
Medical travel often has a fixed appointment time, an unfamiliar entrance and extra equipment. Include the hospital or clinic name, appointment time, mobility-aid details, companion information and whether a return pickup is required. Allow enough time for boarding and arrival before the appointment.
Accessible Perth Airport Taxi
Airport bookings should include the airline, flight number, terminal, wheelchair or mobility-aid details, luggage and companions. For arrivals, use one main contact number so pickup instructions can be communicated clearly once the passenger and luggage are ready.
Aged-Care, Residential and Community Pickups
Accessible trips can be requested from aged-care residences, private homes, retirement communities and supported accommodation. Add the building entrance, unit or wing information and any reception or access instructions that will help identify the correct pickup point.
Family Visits, Events and Everyday Accessible Travel
Accessible transport is not limited to medical trips. A wheelchair taxi can also be requested for family visits, restaurants, community events, shopping, hotels and social outings. The same vehicle-planning details apply: wheelchair type, occupied or transferred seating, companions and luggage.
Wheelchair Taxi for Perth Airport T1, T2, T3 and T4
Perth Airport has two separate terminal precincts, T1/T2 and T3/T4. Confirm the airline and terminal before pickup so the accessible vehicle is directed to the correct precinct. Current Perth Airport terminal information can be checked before travel.
Perth Airport has designated drop-off and pick-up zones near terminal entrances, but the airport states that its staff cannot assist passengers between the kerb and check-in, baggage reclaim and the kerb, or with transfers between a vehicle and a wheelchair. If that assistance is needed, arrange a carer, family member or other support person to accompany the passenger.
Wheelchair Accessible Taxi Perth airport bookings should include the flight number, terminal, wheelchair type, whether the passenger remains seated in the wheelchair, companions and luggage. Broader airport pickup and drop-off information is also available through Perth Airport transfers.
Book Accessible Airport TaxiAssistance Animals and the Passenger Transport Subsidy Scheme
In Western Australia, passenger transport drivers must not refuse to carry an assistance animal or an assistance animal in training. If an assistance animal is travelling with the passenger, include it in the booking notes so the complete passenger setup is clear before pickup.
WA's Passenger Transport Subsidy Scheme, or PTSS, subsidises eligible taxi travel for people with disability. Transport WA states that eligible participants can receive up to 75% off qualifying taxi fares. From 1 October 2025, old TUSS vouchers were replaced by PTSS cards.
If you plan to use PTSS, mention it before the journey and check current eligibility and subsidy conditions directly with Transport WA PTSS information. This page does not determine PTSS eligibility.

Wheelchair Taxi Fare and Quote Information
Accessible taxi pricing depends on the pickup, destination, travel time, waiting and booking conditions. If a large vehicle is required specifically to carry a wheelchair, WA's large-vehicle tariff rules include an exception from the higher large-vehicle tariff that would otherwise apply when a large taxi is requested.
Current maximum rank-or-hail fares and wheelchair-related tariff notes are published by Transport WA taxi fare guidance. Pre-agreed contract fares can also be arranged before a journey when applicable and recorded in writing.
For Wheelchair Accessible Taxi Perth, request a quote using the actual journey, wheelchair or mobility-aid details, companions, luggage and return-trip requirements so the transport plan and fare relate to the real booking.

Book online or call 0433 530 058. Provide the pickup, destination, travel date and time, passenger name, wheelchair or mobility-aid type and whether the passenger remains seated in the wheelchair during travel.
Add chair dimensions if known, companions or carers, luggage, medical equipment, assistance animal, return pickup and building-access instructions.
