Wheelchair accessible transportation in New Delhi
Posted by Josh Grisdale on May 18, 2018 at 11:29 amHello,
Does anyone know of options for accessible transportation in New Delhi? Are there any wheelchair accessible taxis that have wheelchair lifts?
Thank you!

Hi Josh,
There is no formalized wheelchair accessible taxi service in New Delhi, due to lack of sufficient number of cars. Though if you plan in advance, a wheelchair accessible vehicle is available on need basis.
If you let us know the details would be happy to arrange it for you.
That is great to know, thank you!
Hi

nehaHi I need a wheelchair Accessible Car for Rent for 4 days.
Will be Thankful for any Help
The best way to hire a Toyota Innova car and driver for the day is if you’re in a wheelchair. The Metro is not suitable as there is no connection from the Metro station other than autorickshaws to the sightseeing locations that you can not navigate. Don’t try to sightsee by Metro, I say, There’s no wheelchair access to the Hop On Hop Off train. Nevertheless, it is one-step low-floor access to make it easier to board than the usual high-stairs.
Very rarely you will get taxi’s having wheel chair facility.
Hello Neha,
I would also require this type of service i.e. a van or a car where wheelchair enter directly. Actually its my wedding and we have 2 functions and My mosi is handicapped and I am looking for such an option for her so that she is able to join the function.
Please let me know that how should i reach to you to fix the things and make bookings.
