Wheelchair-accessible taxis should be a part of any business. You will alienate a large portion of your clients if you don’t have these vehicles in your fleet. If you choose to invest in WAVs, you will show your customers that you are concerned about them and set yourself apart from the other taxi companies that don’t have wheelchair-accessible cars in their fleet.
You should choose carefully from the wide variety of wheelchair-accessible vehicles available. When buying a wheelchair-accessible vehicle for private use, you will need to consider the needs of everyone and not just one individual. You should choose a car that will make it easier for wheelchair users to enter. It is worth looking into large WAV taxis that come with electric lifts, especially if your taxi drivers are not confident they can push a wheelchair user inside the vehicle.
Accessibility is also important. You don’t visit the same places every day as a cab driver. Certain locations are more popular than others. For example, the train station or the area of town with all the bars and restaurants. You never know who you might be picking up. The side entry to the vehicle is the most beneficial because the wheelchair user has access to the car on the sidewalk.
You may also consider buying used wheelchair-accessible cars to save some money. Before purchasing, you should make sure to do the necessary research and check all the relevant information.
