Wheelchair Transport

Eureka Taxis :: Services :: Wheelchair Access Vehicles (WAV)

Eureka Taxis Ballarat is your only trusted wheelchair transport provider that takes safety and professionalism when transporting wheelchair passengers seriously.
 
Our drivers are rigorously trained in the latest safety and compliance practices to ensure that your journey is safe and enjoyable.
 
We understand that you as a disabled person of our society should not mean that you can not fulfill your life to its full extent.
We will treat you with the respect and dignity you deserve every single day.
 
Our wheelchair vans are stock Renault Masters which have then undergone a rigid prefabrication and recertification to be able to transport you in style and safety.
 
We work with many agencies as well as NDIS self funded and plan managed participants and look forward with a smile and a caring hand to your next trip.

Wheelchairs:

Any wheelchair that has the correct ISO mount points are supported and allowed. If your chair does not have the correct mounts we are not able to transport you and the chair – you will need to disembark the chair (if possible) and fold up the chair or seek alternate transport

Scooters:

All scooters need to have 4 (four) certified mounts. Two of these mounts are to be on the front and two of them must be on the rear, typically near the wheels. If your scooter does not have the correct mounting points, we are unable to transport you in our taxis.

Seatbelts are required by law and MUST be worn by all passengers that wish to sit in the vehicle (or are unable to disembark) whilst the vehicle is in motion. 

Wearing a seatbelt significantly reduces the risk of injury and death in the event of a vehicle roll over or accident / sudden breaking application. 

If your chair has a seatbelt built in – you are not required to wear the seatbelt fitted to the vehicle, providing that the chair has been correctly strapped down.

Sadly over charged after confirming price upon booking a taxi. Both collections from each location were 30 minutes past confirmed booking times however all sorted by a very understanding operations manager who took ownership of performance and applied a discount.
