Wheelchair-accessible transport
Wheelchair-Accessible Transport in Warwickshire
Accessible vehicles arranged subject to requirements and availability, with the wheelchair position, seating and boarding arrangements confirmed before travel.
Overview
About Wheelchair-accessible transport
An accessible journey either works properly or it does not work at all. The vehicle has to suit the wheelchair, there has to be room for everyone travelling, and boarding at both ends has to be practical. Road Buddy Transport arranges wheelchair-accessible transport subject to requirements and availability.
That is why we ask a few straightforward questions before confirming anything. None of them are medical. They are simply the details needed to send the right vehicle to the right place.
Once we understand the journey, we confirm which vehicle is suitable and what it will cost. Nothing is booked until that has been agreed with you.
Who this suits
- Passengers travelling seated in their wheelchair
- Passengers who transfer to a vehicle seat
- Families travelling together with a wheelchair user
- Regular appointment or activity journeys
- Journeys needing extra time for boarding
- Arrangements needing an agreed passenger assistant
Journey types
Accessible journeys we can arrange
Hospital and clinic travel
Pre-arranged appointment journeys where access at the entrance and a sensible arrival time both matter.
Airport transfers
Accessible transfers to and from UK airports, arranged well ahead because the vehicle is committed for the whole journey.
Longer accessible journeys
Travel beyond Warwickshire where an accessible vehicle is needed for the full route, subject to availability.
School and SEND routes
Regular accessible journeys to an education setting, arranged as part of a planned route.
Family occasions
Weddings, celebrations and family gatherings where a companion travels alongside the passenger.
Vehicles and access
Vehicle, capacity and access
Passenger capacity can change when wheelchair space is required. A vehicle that seats several passengers with the floor clear may seat noticeably fewer once a wheelchair is secured in position, and the appropriate vehicle must therefore be confirmed before travel.
Vehicle selection is based on the wheelchair position, passenger numbers, luggage and access requirements. The suitable vehicle is confirmed before travel.
Helpful details to include
- Whether the passenger will travel seated in the wheelchair
- The general type and size of wheelchair
- Number of passengers travelling, including companions
- Luggage requirements
- Any boarding or access considerations at either end
- Whether a passenger assistant has been agreed
What we ask for
Practical details, never a medical diagnosis
We ask only for the information needed to send a suitable vehicle. We do not ask for a diagnosis, and you should not send medical or safeguarding information through the booking form. A telephone call is the right place for anything detailed.
If we cannot cover a journey with a suitable accessible vehicle on the date you need, we will say so directly.
Please tell us
- Whether the passenger stays seated in the wheelchair
- General type and size of wheelchair
- Total number of passengers
- Luggage and any equipment
- Kerbs, ramps, slopes or narrow access

Questions
Wheelchair-accessible transport questions
Can I always get a wheelchair-accessible vehicle?
Accessible vehicles are arranged subject to requirements and availability, so early notice makes a real difference. We will tell you clearly whether we can cover your date and time rather than leave it uncertain.
What do you need to know about the wheelchair?
Whether the passenger will travel seated in the wheelchair, and the general type and size of chair — for example a manual folding chair or a larger powered chair. We do not need a medical diagnosis.
How many other people can travel?
That depends on the vehicle and the wheelchair position. Passenger capacity reduces when wheelchair space is required, so tell us how many are travelling and we will confirm what is realistic before the day.
Can somebody travel with the passenger?
Yes, companions can travel where there is seating available in the vehicle allocated. Include them in the passenger numbers when you send your details.
Can you help at the pickup and drop-off points?
Tell us about boarding or access considerations at either end — a kerb, a slope, a narrow driveway, a limited waiting area — and we will plan around them. Where journey support is needed, a passenger assistant can be arranged if agreed in advance.
Can an accessible vehicle be used for airport or long-distance travel?
Yes, subject to requirements and availability. Longer accessible journeys need as much notice as possible because the vehicle is committed for the whole trip.
