Taxis

When ordering a Taxi or Mini Cab please make the company aware of any special requirements you need for the journey, Taxi's and Mini cabs are operated by individuals and size or type of vehicle must be agreed before being dispatched. The maximum requirements for carriage of a wheelchair is 700 millimeters wide or 27 inches wide and 1200 Millimeters long 47 inches long, all ramps in taxis are restricted by weight limit as well but this is different for every make of taxi or Mini cab. It is not the driver of the vehicle provision to size or weigh a wheelchair, Forward MID are trying to find a method where size and weight are applied to every wheelchair to stop discrimination. This sign indicates that a wheelchair can be accommodated
