Hi,
If possible I use public transport (trains here in Tokyo), However, if I am traveling with just one care attendant that puts a lot of extra work on them, so if I need to take extra luggage I’ll use a wheelchair taxi/Uber.
I’m not sure about the US, but I’ve found that most hotels don’t have accessible airport pick-up service… but some do, so it is always worth asking. Even if they don’t, having people request it will maybe encourage them to invest in accessible transportation.
I’m also interested to hear from others!
