What Is a Wheelchair Accessible Taxi (WAT)?
A purpose-built or purpose-modified vehicle that allows passengers to travel in their wheelchair without transferring to a standard seat. Every GM Cabs WAT is fully equipped and maintained to the highest safety specifications.
Hydraulic or Fold-Out Entry Ramps
Smooth, safe boarding for all wheelchair and scooter users, regardless of ramp gradient or vehicle height.
Secure Wheelchair Restraint Systems
Four-point tie-down systems keep the chair stable and immobile throughout the entire journey.
Seatbelt and Harness Options
Shoulder and lap belt options for passengers remaining seated in their wheelchair during travel.
Space for Carers and Companions
Additional passenger seating for carers, companions, or family members travelling alongside you.
Lowered Floor / Raised Roof
Multiple vehicle configurations to accommodate different chair heights, including tilt and recline chairs.
