Wheelchair Accessible Taxi Leicester

Getting around Leicester when you use a wheelchair should not mean compromising on comfort, dignity, or punctuality. Aylestone Kings has provided taxi services across the city since 1995, and our wheelchair accessible vehicles are part of that long-standing commitment to passengers who need a little extra space and the right equipment on board.

Our accessible fleet includes purpose-adapted vehicles with ramp or lift access, secure wheelchair restraints, and room for a companion or carer to travel alongside. Each vehicle typically accommodates one wheelchair user plus up to two additional passengers, depending on wheelchair size and seating layout. Manual and most powered wheelchairs can be carried when you remain seated in your chair for the journey; if you prefer to transfer into a standard seat, let us know when booking so we can allow extra time at pickup.

Because wheelchair accessible taxis are a specialist resource, pre-booking is required — we cannot always guarantee same-day availability from a standard dispatch without notice. Booking at least 24 hours ahead is ideal for hospital appointments and airport runs; for discharge pickups or urgent medical visits, call us as early as possible and we will do our best to help.

Hospital transport is one of the most common reasons passengers request an accessible taxi in Leicester. We regularly serve Leicester Royal Infirmary (LRI) in the city centre, Leicester General Hospital in Evington, and Glenfield Hospital to the west of the city. Our drivers are used to the access roads, drop-off bays, and varying pickup points at each site — whether you are attending an outpatient clinic, visiting a ward, or being collected after treatment. Mention the entrance or department when you book so your driver knows exactly where to meet you.

Beyond hospitals, our wheelchair accessible taxis cover everyday Leicester journeys too — shopping trips, family visits, station transfers, and appointments at GP surgeries or clinics. For longer routes, we also support accessible travel on agreed airport transfers and cross-city trips booked through our local taxi Leicester service. Fares are quoted upfront for agreed routes so you know the cost before you travel.

Every driver is licensed by Leicester City Council and DBS checked. Vehicles are maintained to council inspection standards, and our team will talk you through the boarding process before your journey begins so you feel comfortable with how the ramp, restraints, and seating work. If you have specific needs — oxygen equipment, a folding walker, or a preferred side for boarding — tell us at the time of booking and we will note it on your job.
