Wheelchair Accessible Taxi Eastleigh

Eastleigh is home ground for me. My base in West End is around 10 minutes away, my private hire licence is issued by Eastleigh Borough Council, and a large share of my regular wheelchair accessible work is in and around the town. The taxi is a 2025 Volkswagen Caddy Maxi with a rear ramp: you travel in your own wheelchair, with up to three people travelling with you.

Journeys I regularly cover from Eastleigh

• Southampton Airport. The airport sits in Eastleigh itself, minutes from most of the town, and an accessible airport run with the ramp at both ends takes the stress out of flying with a wheelchair.
• Hospital appointments. Eastleigh to Southampton General, the Royal South Hants or local clinics, with waiting or a return pickup arranged around the appointment.
• Local runs. Bishopstoke, Fair Oak, Chandler’s Ford and the town centre, pre-booked so the vehicle and the price are guaranteed.
• Cruise transfers. Eastleigh to the Southampton cruise terminals is around 25 minutes, door to dock gate.

The vehicle

Purpose-adapted, not retrofitted: a low-angle rear ramp, the wheelchair secured in place for travel, and a rear cabin where companions sit with you rather than away from you. Full specifications and photos are on the wheelchair accessible taxi page.

Nearby areas

I also cover Hedge End, Winchester and everywhere in between. Chandler’s Ford, Bishopstoke and Fair Oak count as Eastleigh as far as my quotes are concerned.

Common Questions

• How quickly can you get to Eastleigh?

  My base in West End is around 10 minutes from most of Eastleigh, so for pre-booked journeys I am as local as it gets. I operate pre-booked private hire rather than a rank service, so the way to guarantee the accessible vehicle is to book ahead by phone or WhatsApp.

• Do you do wheelchair accessible Southampton Airport transfers from Eastleigh?

  Yes. Southampton Airport is effectively in Eastleigh, so it is one of my shortest airport runs. The ramp comes out at your door and again at the terminal, and assistance with luggage is part of the job, not an extra.

• How much is a wheelchair taxi in Eastleigh?

  Fixed price, agreed in writing before you travel. Local Eastleigh journeys are quoted individually based on the pickup and destination, and there is never a surcharge for the wheelchair ramp, boarding time or card payment.

• Can a carer or family member book on someone's behalf?

  Yes, and it happens all the time. Give me the passenger's name, the pickup address and any boarding notes, and your own number for the confirmation. I confirm the price in writing to whoever books, and I allow proper time for boarding rather than rushing it.
