Wheelchair Taxi Perth | 24/7 Accessible Transport Services
Need a wheelchair taxi in Perth that arrives on time and has the right access for your chair or mobility scooter? Universal Cabs provides safe wheelchair-accessible taxi booking for airport transfers, hospital visits, medical appointments, family trips, work travel and everyday local rides across Perth. Our vehicles are arranged with ramps or lifts, secure wheelchair restraints and enough room for carers, companions and luggage. Whether you need a same-day ride or want to pre-book an important appointment, we make the journey clear from the first call to the final drop-off.
For many passengers, a normal taxi is not enough. You may need a driver who understands mobility support, a vehicle with space for an electric wheelchair, or a cab that can collect you from a hospital entrance without rushing you. That is why our Wheelchair Taxi Perth service is planned around comfort, safety, dignity and timing.

Book a Wheelchair Taxi in Perth Without the Stress
Booking accessible transport should feel simple. When you contact Universal Cabs, tell us your pickup location, destination, date, time, wheelchair type, number of passengers and any luggage or medical equipment you are carrying. Our team will then arrange a suitable wheelchair-accessible vehicle for your trip.
- Immediate travel, same-day trips or advance bookings
- Airport transfers, specialist appointments and hospital discharge pickups
- School runs, aged care visits, work meetings and events where timing matters
- Bookings made by carers and family members on behalf of a passenger
Pre-booking is best for airport transfers, specialist appointments, hospital discharge pickups, school runs, aged care visits, work meetings and events where timing matters. If you are searching for a wheelchair taxi near me in Perth and need wheelchair access, it is important to book the correct vehicle instead of hoping a standard cab will work.
Share any access notes, such as a narrow driveway, apartment entry, aged care reception, hospital ward, or preferred pickup point, so the driver can arrive prepared.
Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicles Built for Secure Travel
A Wheelchair Taxi Perth trip needs more than extra space. It needs the right access equipment and a driver who knows how to use it correctly. Our accessible taxis may include rear or side ramps, lifts or hoists, secure anchor points, wheelchair tie-downs, seatbelt support and a spacious cabin for safe boarding.
Secure Restraints
Secure anchor points, wheelchair tie-downs and seatbelt support help keep the passenger safely positioned.
Space for Mobility Needs
Passengers using manual wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs or some mobility scooters can request a wheelchair-accessible taxi.
Comfortable Travel
Air-conditioned vehicles help keep the ride comfortable during hot Perth afternoons, rainy mornings and longer transfers.
Because mobility aids vary in size and weight, it is always best to tell us the type of chair when booking. This helps us match your ride with the right vehicle and avoid delays at pickup. Our wheelchair maxi taxi options are useful when the passenger is travelling with carers, family members, medical bags, walkers, oxygen equipment or suitcases.
Safety is checked before the ride begins. The wheelchair is positioned, secured and checked before departure, so the passenger can travel with confidence.
Which Taxi Do You Need for Wheelchair Travel?
Not every taxi suits every passenger. The safest option depends on whether the passenger can transfer, remains seated in the wheelchair, travels with companions, or carries mobility aids and luggage.
Sedan Taxi
A sedan taxi may be suitable for a passenger who can transfer from a wheelchair into a car seat and fold the chair into the boot.
Maxi Taxi
A maxi taxi may suit groups, families, luggage-heavy trips and passengers with walkers or folded mobility aids.
Wheelchair-Accessible Taxi
A wheelchair-accessible taxi is the right choice when a passenger needs to remain seated in their wheelchair during the trip.
If you are unsure which vehicle to choose, tell us how the passenger normally travels. Do they stay in the wheelchair? Can they transfer with support? Is the chair manual, electric or a mobility scooter? Are there carers or companions travelling too? These details help us arrange the safest option. For wheelchair users who need ramp or lift access, book a wheelchair-accessible vehicle rather than a standard taxi.
Perth Airport Wheelchair Taxi Transfers
Airport travel can be tiring, especially when mobility support, luggage, family members and flight times are involved. Universal Cabs provides Perth Airport wheelchair taxi transfers to and from T1, T2, T3 and T4.
- Share your flight number, terminal and pickup time
- Confirm luggage count and space needed for companions
- Allow extra time for loading, traffic and check-in
- Arrange terminal assistance with your airline or travel agent
For departures, allow extra time for loading, traffic and check-in. For arrivals, provide your flight details so the booking can be planned around expected landing time. If you also need wheelchair or mobility assistance inside the airport, arrange that with your airline or travel agent before you fly. Our role is to provide safe taxi transport to or from the terminal, while airport and airline teams handle assistance inside the terminal.
Our airport wheelchair taxi service is useful for local passengers, visitors, NDIS participants, seniors, carers and families who need a calm transfer between home, hotel, hospital, aged care facility or Perth Airport.
Hospital and Medical Wheelchair Taxi Transfers
Medical travel needs punctuality and patience. We provide hospital wheelchair taxi Perth bookings for appointments, day procedures, rehabilitation visits, hospital discharge, aged care transfers and return trips after treatment.
Appointment Travel
Accessible transport for hospital appointments, day procedures, rehabilitation visits and medical centres.
Hospital Discharge
Tell us whether the passenger has bags, a walker, a support person or extra care instructions.
Return Trips
If you are booking a return taxi, give us as much notice as possible so we can help plan the pickup.
Our drivers can take passengers to major medical locations across Perth, including:
- Royal Perth Hospital
- Fiona Stanley Hospital
- Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital
- Perth Children’s Hospital
- St John of God Subiaco
- Fremantle Hospital
- Mandurah Hospital
- Medical Centres
- Imaging Clinics
- Dental Clinics
- Physiotherapy Centres
- Specialist Rooms
When booking a hospital trip, tell us the exact entrance, clinic name, ward, appointment time and whether the passenger may need a return ride. Hospitals can have several entrances, so clear pickup notes help avoid confusion. We understand that some appointments run late, so if you are booking a return taxi, give us as much notice as possible so we can help plan the pickup.
Wheelchair Taxi Cost, PTSS and Payment Options
Many passengers want to know the wheelchair taxi cost before they book. Fare can depend on distance, time of day, waiting time, vehicle type, airport pickup needs and the length of the trip. For important journeys, ask Universal Cabs for a fare estimate or fixed quote where available before confirming your booking.
PTSS
Eligible passengers may be able to use the Passenger Transport Subsidy Scheme, also known as PTSS, for taxi travel in Western Australia. If you have a PTSS card, mention it when booking and have the card ready for the trip.
NDIS Records
If you use NDIS funding for transport, ask our team for the type of receipt or trip record you need for your own plan, plan manager or support coordinator.
Payment Options
You can ask about card payments, prepaid taxi bookings, receipts, invoices and return trip costs before the ride begins.
We aim to keep Affordable Taxi Perth travel clear and fair.
