What to know

Book the right vehicle

Say you need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle (or other assistance) when you book. A standard saloon may not take a wheelchair.

Rank vs book

Some ranks in larger towns have WAVs; supply varies. In Lampeter, booking ahead is safer than hoping the next cab fits.

Rights and complaints

Drivers of listed WAVs have duties around wheelchair users and assistance dogs under equality law. If something goes wrong, complain to the licensing council and keep the plate number / booking reference.
