We had this situation and thats how we explained our pricing to council when asked. We had an extra £5 charge for requesting that vehicle type.

The equality act means that you can't charge a disabled person more than an able bodied person for the same journey.

correct , wrong i think though , so scenario, pick up some old lady in a wheelchair, pull up to the house, get the ramps out, wheel her down to the car, push her in the car, put the ramps away , lash her in the back , close doors , jump in the car, hit meter , drive to supermarket,stop meter, get paid repeat as before , effectively, working for nothing :roll: , takes longer to do so they should get more imoh like + they get mobility allowance for that very reason, TRANSPORT COSTS !

Take it up with the government.

loads of the lads gave up there doblos when this came in , the other side of the coin is that if there is only a couple of wheelchair vehicles working they have to drive across plots to pick up, why should they use extra fuel just to do a couple of quid wheelchair fare ? bearing in mind they might be sitting on a normal job but don't get it because a wheelchair car is needed 5 miles away , costs them more in fuel for nothing

some were office cars mate, they just handed them back & went on normal cars, the others were owner drivers so was a tad more difficult ( although a few have sold & just went on normal ph cars & don't bother hacking, others wanted to keep them so they could hack )
