Feature Use Case
What options are available for disabled passengers using airport transfers?
Disabled passengers have multiple accessibility options for airport transfers: wheelchair-accessible vehicles with ramps and restraints, trained driver assistance, and pre-arranged special assistance. Our AI-powered chatbot provides instant answers about accessibility options, and multilingual support ensures clear communication. There are no extra charges for wheelchair-accessible vehicles or assistance requests.
Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicles and Mobility Support
A range of wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAVs) is available for disabled access. Options include ramped minivans, lift-equipped sedans, and spacious vans with lowered floors and secure wheelchair tie-down systems. Each vehicle is designed for safe boarding and comfortable travel, with features like extra headroom and swivel seats to accommodate various mobility devices, from manual wheelchairs to large electric scooters. Trained drivers assist with loading and securing passengers, ensuring a smooth experience from terminal pick-up to drop-off.
Booking Special Assistance for Seamless Travel
Requesting special assistance is straightforward and can be done during online booking, by phone, or directly through our AI-powered agent. You can specify needs such as a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, a driver who can assist from the arrivals hall, or any additional aids. For best availability, details should be provided at least 24 hours in advance. Once requested, the driver is briefed on your requirements and the transfer is coordinated to minimize wait times. The service covers all major airports and is designed to turn a potentially stressful part of travel into a predictable, well-supported journey.

This self‑service capability reduces phone hold times and gives disabled travelers independence when planning transfers, at any hour of the day.

The AI agent can communicate in up to 11 languages, from Spanish and French to Mandarin and Arabic, translating questions and answers while preserving the same grounded, accurate content.
