Wheelchair Taxi in Paris — Ramp-Equipped Vehicle for Everyday Trips

Medical or administrative appointments, errands, the hairdresser, a restaurant, the cinema, a museum, an adapted sports activity, a family visit: our ramp-equipped vehicle covers every kind of everyday trip, not only medical or airport journeys.

Most of our rides are simple one-off trips within Paris, booked the same day or the day before, with nothing more to arrange than stating the type of wheelchair.

A manual wheelchair, even non-folding, is straightforward: you board via the ramp and it is tied down within a few minutes.

An electric wheelchair requires knowing its weight and dimensions in advance — the ramp and tie-down system accept the vast majority of models, but the heaviest or bulkiest electric chairs are checked before booking to avoid any surprise on the day.

Many museums, restaurants and cultural venues in Paris offer wheelchair access, but the setup varies a lot from one place to another. We recommend checking the exact accessibility (entrance, restrooms, lift) directly with the venue before your outing — we take care of the journey, not the on-site accessibility check.

The driver parks as close as possible to the entrance, deploys the ramp or lowered floor, and you roll in while seated in your wheelchair. The wheelchair is then secured with the tie-down system and you fasten an individual seatbelt; the driver helps with both.

At the destination the process is reversed: ramp down, you roll out, and the driver accompanies you to the entrance if you wish. The whole sequence takes a few minutes and you never have to transfer out of your chair.

If the pavement is narrow or the entrance has a step, mention it when booking so the driver can plan where to stop.

A ride in the ramp-equipped vehicle ("TPMR", the French term for reduced-mobility transport) costs the standard fare plus roughly 35 to 40%, depending on the situation (type of wheelchair, help needed, time spent boarding). The exact price is confirmed in your quote, before you book. As a guide, a ride within Paris starts at about 41 to 42 euros, Paris to Orly is about 66 to 69 euros and Paris to CDG about 88 to 91 euros (estimates).

This is a private transport service paid by the customer, not a medical transport and not reimbursed by French health insurance. Payment is made at the end of the ride by card, cash or bank transfer, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup.

For a show, a concert or dinner, book both the outward ride and the return together, and give an approximate end time. The vehicle is booked for you rather than hailed on the street, which matters because adapted vehicles are rarely available at short notice late in the evening.

If the event finishes later than expected, call the driver: a short delay can usually be absorbed; longer waiting is charged. The service runs 24/7 on booking, and a night surcharge may apply.

A companion travels with you; tell us how many people will come so we check the seating once the wheelchair is in place. For a group outing, it may be simpler to book the ramp-equipped vehicle for the wheelchair user and a companion, and a second car for the rest of the group.

Tell us about any extra equipment, such as a folded spare wheelchair, crutches or a bag, so there is room for it.

Yes. For a weekly activity, a regular appointment or a commute to a day centre, you can book each ride in advance with the same pickup details, so the ramp-equipped vehicle is reserved for you on those days.

Give the dates and times as early as possible, because adapted vehicles are few. Each ride is priced on quote, and you receive the price before confirming.
