Wheelchair-accessible taxis in Bangor

Book a wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV) ahead — Bangor's steep hills between the station (lower) and Upper Bangor make street-hail WAV availability unreliable. Use Gwynedd-licensed firms such as A5, Ace, Rapid Ride, or Arrow Taxi.

Under the Equality Act 2010, drivers of designated WAVs must carry wheelchair users, provide mobility assistance, and cannot charge extra for a wheelchair passenger. Refusal or surcharging can be reported to Gwynedd Council licensing.

What to check
