Reliable Wheelchair Accessible Taxis Across Nedlands and Beyond

That depends almost entirely on where you are starting, because Nedlands sits on the western side of the city and most of our passengers are travelling in from the north or north-east. A purple PTSS card covers 75% of the fare up to a $35 subsidy per trip and a yellow card covers 50% up to $25, which on a short inner-suburban run absorbs most of the cost. From Brabham, Aveley or Wanneroo the trip is long enough to reach the subsidy cap, leaving a balance above it that is yours, so the sensible move is to ask for the estimate first. Call 0483 926 000 with your suburb and appointment and we will price it properly.

This is the single most useful question anyone asks us about Nedlands, and the answer changes with your clinic. Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital sits on a shared medical campus in Nedlands alongside Perth Children's Hospital, about 260 metres to its south-east, and the Harry Perkins Institute, while Hollywood Private Hospital sits roughly 520 metres west. Those distances are trivial on foot and substantial in a chair, particularly for someone already tired or unwell. Tell us the hospital and the clinic name when you book, and your driver will take you to the entrance that puts you closest rather than the one that is easiest to pull into.

Considerably earlier than most people expect, and this is the most common reason our passengers miss appointments here. From the outer north-east, suburbs such as Aveley and Brabham are a genuine cross-city run and the trip is made inbound during the worst of the morning traffic. We book backwards from your appointment time rather than forwards from when you would prefer to leave, and we add your actual loading time instead of a generic allowance. If your clinic is at Perth Children's Hospital or Hollywood Private rather than Sir Charles Gairdner, we allow for the campus distance too.

Return trips from this precinct are routine for us, and the practical advice is not to fix a rigid pickup time for anything with an uncertain finish. Clinics, imaging and day procedures overrun regularly, and a vehicle booked against an optimistic estimate either waits or leaves. Book the outbound trip, then call us when you are genuinely ready and we will come back, or arrange a return slot if the finish time is predictable. We would far rather return than charge you for a driver sitting in a car park, since surprise waiting fees are one of the complaints we hear most about other operators.

Subiaco is on our regular list, largely because St John of God Subiaco Hospital on Salvado Road draws appointments from right across our northern service area, and we run between it and Nedlands constantly. The published suburbs are where we work most often rather than a boundary we will not cross, and a hospital run into the western suburbs is something we do every day regardless of which side of a line your address falls. Call 0483 926 000 and we will confirm your street immediately.

Bring them, and tell us at booking so the right vehicle is rostered and the fare is quoted with everyone included rather than adjusted at the door. A carer, family member or support worker travels in a standard seat alongside your secured chair, and how many spare seats are available depends on which vehicle is out and whether one or two wheelchairs are travelling. Assistance animals are welcome. For a hospital trip in particular, tell us if you would like the driver to hand you over at the clinic entrance rather than leave you at a kerb, because on this campus that is a meaningful difference.
