Here at Newquay Cab, we have been proudly serving our community with reliable, friendly, and punctual taxi services since 2010. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to explore the stunning Cornish coast, which is why inclusive transport is so important to us. Getting around should be simple and stress-free for all our customers, regardless of their mobility needs.
This guide is designed to help you navigate your options for wheelchair-accessible taxis in Newquay. We will explore what makes accessible transport so vital, detail our own services, and provide a clear picture of how to book a vehicle that meets your requirements. Our goal is to ensure you have all the information you need for a comfortable and convenient journey.
Understanding the need for wheelchair-accessible taxis
Everyone deserves the freedom to travel safely and comfortably. For individuals with mobility challenges, finding suitable transport can often be a significant barrier. According to the UK charity Scope, one in three disabled people report difficulties when using taxis or private hire vehicles. This highlights a clear need for more accessible options across the country, including here in beautiful Newquay.
As a long-standing local business, we recognise our responsibility to cater to the diverse needs of all our customers. Providing inclusive transport is not just a matter of compliance with regulations like the Equality Act 2010; it is about upholding our ethical commitment to the community. We strive to ensure that every journey with us is a positive experience, from the moment you book to the second you arrive at your destination. Our reputation is built on trust and reliability, and that includes being a service that everyone can count on.
Investigating wheelchair-accessible options with Newquay Cab

Based on our current fleet and services available through our website, we do not have dedicated wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAVs) equipped with ramps or lifts. While our drivers are always happy to assist passengers and store folded wheelchairs in our vehicles, our standard and minibus taxis cannot accommodate a passenger who needs to remain in their wheelchair during transit. For customers requiring fully wheelchair-accessible transport,
we recommend contacting local providers such as Yellow Cabs or Coastline Travel, who both offer suitable WAV options.
We are continually reviewing our services to better meet the needs of our community, and we value your feedback. If you have specific requirements or questions about how we can assist you, we encourage you to get in touch with our friendly team.
