Is There a Wheelchair Accessible Taxi in Grande Prairie?
The Short Answer
Yes, but please book it ahead rather than calling for one on the spot. Accessible vehicles are a small part of any city's fleet, ours included, so telling us in advance is what makes sure a ramp-equipped car is the one that turns up.
Call 780 518 3503 and say it is an accessible booking — that gets it flagged properly.
How to Book One
Phone dispatch on 780 518 3503 and tell them it needs to be accessible. If you are booking online, put it in the notes for the driver and we will match the right vehicle to the job.
For a hospital appointment or a flight, a day's notice is ideal. For a regular weekly trip, tell us once and we will set it up as a standing booking so you are not explaining it every week.
What We Can Help With
Drivers will help to and from the door rather than leaving you at the kerb, and will wait if an appointment runs over — just tell us when you book so the time is allowed for.
- Ramp-equipped vehicle for a passenger staying in their chair
- Help to the door at both ends of the trip
- Waiting time at appointments, arranged in advance
- Regular standing bookings for dialysis and recurring clinics
Travelling With a Walker or a Folding Chair
If the chair folds and the passenger can transfer to a seat, a standard car is usually fine and there is no need to wait for an accessible vehicle. Mention it when you book and we will tell you which is quicker.
