Why Choose a Guide Dog-Friendly Transfer?
Navigating busy terminals and unfamiliar surroundings is already challenging enough. Adding an unfamiliar taxi experience to that can create unnecessary stress. This is where a certified local operator like Heathrow Airport Taxi Cars becomes invaluable.
Our drivers are trained to accommodate guide dogs, understanding both legal requirements and best practices for assistance animals. When you travel with us, your guide dog is treated with the respect and care they deserve, ensuring both you and your companion feel comfortable from pick-up to drop-off.
Legal Rights for Passengers with Assistance Dogs
In the United Kingdom, the Equality Act 2010 mandates that service providers, including taxi operators, accommodate passengers with guide dogs without additional charges. Our drivers at Heathrow Airport Taxi Cars strictly follow these guidelines.
You have the right to:
- Ride without being refused because of your guide dog.
- Travel without paying extra for your guide dog.
- Expect drivers to offer appropriate assistance.
At Heathrow Airport Taxi Cars, we ensure all our services are fully compliant with these rights.
