Wheelchair-accessible airport transfers

Plan an accessible journey around the passenger

Shane’s Airport Transfers arranges pre-booked wheelchair-accessible airport transport from Accrington, Blackburn and surrounding East Lancashire areas. Tell the office whether the passenger needs to remain in their wheelchair for the journey or will transfer to a vehicle seat.

Passenger and wheelchair details help us match the vehicle layout to the journey. A wheelchair position can affect the number of companion seats and the space available for luggage, so the arrangement is confirmed for the actual vehicle.

What to include when requesting a wheelchair transfer

Tell us whether the wheelchair is manual or powered, its dimensions, and whether it folds. Where the vehicle’s ramp or lift limits need checking, the office may also ask for the combined passenger and wheelchair weight.

Include the number of companions, suitcases and any other mobility equipment. Mention steps, a narrow entrance, restricted vehicle access or another collection detail that could affect boarding.

A wheelchair-accessible vehicle is different from carrying a folded wheelchair in a car boot. Explain which arrangement you need so the quote and vehicle are suitable.

Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds Bradford airport journeys

We arrange outward journeys and airport collections. For a return transfer, include the flight number, UK arrival date, destination and a contact mobile number. Flight monitoring helps with collection planning when you provide the flight details.

Assistance inside the airport is separate from the road transfer. Arrange airport or airline assistance directly, and tell the office about the agreed meeting arrangements when organising your car.

Call 01254 449247 to discuss wheelchair and companion requirements before booking. Our service is pre-booked private transport; it does not provide medical care.
