A wheelchair-accessible taxi in Malvern is available by advance booking: the vehicle that carries passengers in their wheelchair covers Great Malvern, Malvern Link and the villages under the hills, and its steadiest work is Malvern Community Hospital on Worcester Road. There is no extra charge for the accessible vehicle, and assistance dogs are carried free.
The community hospital stands on Worcester Road in Malvern Link, close to Malvern Link station, and it handles clinics and rehabilitation visits for the whole hills area. An accessible booking timed to your appointment letter removes the hardest part of the trip, which for many patients is simply getting there without a transfer out of the chair.
Bigger appointments pull Malvern patients towards Worcestershire Royal Hospital, a longer run along the A449. That journey, and the return when the clinic finishes, can both be set at booking, so a long day has fixed points at each end of it.
Malvern's pleasures are famously vertical, which is exactly why a booked car matters to a wheelchair user. Malvern Theatres in Great Malvern, the priory, and the lower slopes and car parks of the hills themselves are all reachable door to door, and the driver takes the gradients so the passenger does not have to.
Both stations, Great Malvern and Malvern Link, see accessible pick-ups for trains towards Worcester, Birmingham and London. From the villages, Malvern Wells, Hanley Swan and Leigh Sinton among them, the accessible vehicle collects at the door, down lanes where no bus and no ordinary rank will ever help.
The commitments behind the vehicle are on our page for accessible transport across the county, and Malvern's wider journeys are introduced on the Malvern town page. North towards the city, the same car is described on Worcester's accessible taxi page.
