Wheelchair taxi/minivan in Amsterdam

[Attaa]

Has anyone found a wheelchair accessible taxi/minivan with a ramp or lift that can be arranged for travel to the airport in Amsterdam and from the cruise terminal? I can't manage public transit with the luggage.

 

Thanks!

Hi Attaa,

 

Try the Schiphol travel taxi,

Hope this helps

Hi Pete,

 

Thanks. I don't see anything specific about wheelchair transportation there. After clicking links several times the English text ends.

 

Can you confirm that wheelchair accessible vans are available via the Schiphol travel taxi? I haven't been able to find one company that offers them. There was mention of special transportation somewhere but prices were extremely high.

 

Thanks!

Why don't you ask on the Amsterdam Forum on Tripadvisor as there are local people on there. I imagine accessible taxis are available as Holland is fairly disabled friendly. Have you tried Googling?

Thanks LondonTowner for the tip. Yes, I have googled with no success. I did find one reference... I think the price was around euros 150 for one way. I am hoping there are other more reasonable options.

Also, thanks for your other post regarding your Baltic trip!

Hi Attaa,

 

As London Towner has stated or try contacting Schiphol airport direct, they may be able to answer your query.

The problem with the Schiphol Travel Taxi is that you are paying for sole use of the vehicle unless you can find others to share.

Have a look at http://www.issuu.com which details accessibility in Amsterdam. It is on the Visit Holland website which has lots of information about events and exhibitions in Holland.

Hi,

 

Just a thought, does the cruise line you are going with offer transfers, they should accommodate you if they do.
