Wheelchair-accessible taxis in Harlech

Pre-book a wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV) with a Gwynedd-licensed operator. Harlech station sits in the lower town; the castle and Ffordd Pen Llech (the famously steep street) are a hard climb — do not assume a spontaneous WAV appears at Castle Square.

Ask Elite Cars (01766 781313) or Harlech Taxis (07833 510856) whether a designated WAV is available for your time. Under the Equality Act 2010, drivers of designated WAVs must assist wheelchair users and cannot charge extra for the wheelchair. Report refusal or surcharging to Gwynedd Council licensing.
