    Good morning all, It is another first for iCars today, the first time we have used our wheelchair-accessible vehicle, available from today, with a ramp so wheelchair customers can ride in their own chair.


    The car has a name, Daisy! and is Daisy available at no extra charge, call us now 01795 252525.


    We are the only taxi firm on the island that offers this service.


    Where we lead others follow!


    Thanks to Gary for the video and Hayden for starring and being our fist passenger on this service.

    For many people who use a wheelchair, a simple task such as going shopping or to a Dr's appointment is a nightmare, bus services on the island are patchy at best, and the only other option would be to book a taxi and ensure there was enough space in the boot of the car for the wheel chair, and ask for assistance to get out of the chair and into the vehicle, and that’s assuming they can transfer, these sort of obstacles can take away peoples independence, if your wheelchair bound, then the anchors are well laid into the ground preventing users from getting out and enjoying the area!

    ​

    From day one that has been something Neil and Jan have wanted to change and something they have acted on, as a result iCars have several vehicles available to customers, and since they have come into use we have a legion of delighted customers, we have eliminated the indignity of transferring a customer from their chair into a car, now the car pulls up the ramp slides out and in you go, travelling in your own chair, and there is no extra charge for this service!
