Wheelchair Accessible Taxi Hedge End

Hedge End is a few minutes from my base in West End, which makes it the closest town I cover with the wheelchair accessible taxi. The vehicle is a 2025 Volkswagen Caddy Maxi with a rear-access ramp: you stay in your own wheelchair for the whole journey, up to three companions travel with you, and every booking is a fixed price agreed in writing.

Journeys I regularly cover from Hedge End

• Local and short-notice runs. Being this close means Hedge End, Botley and West End bookings are the easiest in my diary to fit, including same-week requests when the schedule allows.
• Hospital appointments. Hedge End to Southampton General and the city hospitals, with the return leg planned around the appointment rather than the meter.
• Shopping and days out. Hedge End retail parks, Whiteley, the city centre, or further afield. You set the itinerary.
• Cruise and airport transfers. Around 20 minutes to the Southampton cruise terminals, and fixed prices to every major airport on the prices page.

Common Questions

• Do you cover Hedge End for wheelchair accessible journeys?

  Yes, Hedge End is my closest covered town. My base is in West End, a few minutes away, so pre-booked accessible journeys from Hedge End, Botley and the surrounding villages are core work for me rather than an occasional trip.

• Can I book a wheelchair taxi in Hedge End at short notice?

  Often, yes, because I am so close, but I am one driver with one vehicle, so the diary decides. Pre-booking by phone or WhatsApp is always the way to guarantee the slot. For hospital appointments and time-critical journeys, book as soon as you have the date.

• How much does a wheelchair accessible taxi cost from Hedge End?

  A fixed price agreed in writing before the journey, based on pickup and destination. No meter, no surge pricing, and no extra charge for wheelchair boarding or the ramp.

• Do you stay during round trips, for example a shopping trip?

  For shorter visits I can wait, and for longer ones I will come back at an agreed time. Either way it is priced up front as one written quote, so you know the cost of the full round trip before you commit.
