Wheelchair Accessible Taxi to Wembley Stadium and OVO Arena
Accessible vehicles are available on request, and event days need more planning than ordinary journeys. Tell us the details early and the logistics get handled properly.
What to tell us when you book
Accessible journeys go wrong when information arrives too late, not when vehicles are unavailable. The more we know at the point of booking, the more of the problem is solved before anyone leaves home.
The type of wheelchair or mobility aid
Manual, powered, scooter or folding. Powered chairs and scooters have very different space and ramp requirements from a folding manual chair.
Whether you will transfer to a seat
Some passengers prefer to transfer into a standard seat with the chair stowed. Others travel seated in the chair. Both are fine; we need to know which.
Dimensions if the aid is unusually large
Approximate width, length and weight. This is the detail that determines whether a specific vehicle will work.
Any surface or gradient limitations
If a steep kerb, cobbles or a long ramp is a problem, say so. It changes which meeting point we choose.
Why event days need more planning
A Wembley event day adds three complications on top of an ordinary accessible journey, and each one is manageable if it is anticipated.
The cordon moves the pickup
Road closures mean the nearest workable pickup is not the venue entrance. For accessible travel we need to choose that point deliberately, with surface and distance in mind, rather than adapting on the night.
Crowd density
Ninety thousand people leaving at once makes any distance harder to cover. A shorter, quieter route to the vehicle matters far more than a marginally closer one.
Concentrated demand
Every accessible booking for an event wants a similar time window. Booking early is not a formality here; it is the difference between having a vehicle and not.
Timing flexibility
Leaving slightly before the final whistle, where you are willing to, avoids the densest crowd entirely and usually makes the whole journey easier.
Vehicles and what they suit
Accessible vehicles are a specialist part of the fleet and subject to availability, so early booking genuinely matters.
| Option | Suits | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wheelchair accessible vehicle | Travelling seated in a manual or powered chair | Ramp equipped, available on request, book early |
| MPV with stowed chair | Passengers who transfer to a seat | Good boot space for a folded manual chair plus bags |
| Saloon with stowed chair | Folding manual chairs, light aids | Suitable where transfer is straightforward |
| Minibus | Groups including a wheelchair user | Keeps a party together, confirm layout at booking |
| Multiple coordinated vehicles | Larger groups with mixed needs | Managed as one booking with a single contact |
How to arrange it
Call or WhatsApp rather than booking blind
For accessible travel a short conversation is better than a form. Call 020 8888 9988 or WhatsApp us and we will confirm what is available for your date.
Book as early as you can
Several days ahead for a major event, more for a Cup Final or a sold-out concert.
Give us the venue postcode
Wembley Stadium is HA9 0WS. OVO Arena Wembley is HA9 0AA. The workable step-free pickup points differ between them.
Book both legs together
The return is the harder leg and the one where availability is tightest. Never leave it to be arranged afterwards.
Agree the meeting point explicitly
We will confirm a lit, level, kerbside location outside the cordon, and describe it clearly so there is no ambiguity on the night.
Tell us about companions and assistance dogs
So the vehicle has the right space. Assistance dogs travel free and are always welcome.
Our commitments, and their limits
Being straightforward about what we do not do is part of doing this properly. Rushxo drivers will operate the ramp, secure a wheelchair, help with luggage and wait patiently without charging for the time. They are not trained carers, and they cannot provide personal care or lift a passenger, so where that support is needed it must travel with you.
Every driver is TfL licensed, enhanced-DBS checked, medically assessed and fully insured, with public liability cover up to £10 million on every journey. Rushxo operates under TfL Private Hire Operator Licence 11588 and is registered as company 16464640. If anything about a booking is unclear, call us and speak to a person rather than guessing from a web page.
