Taxi

Depending on your handicap, you will be able to use normal taxis or not. If you are in a wheelchair, think of warning the driver so he can help you getting in the car, and be sure the car’s trunk is big enough to contain your wheelchair.
If not, call one of the companies listed below which propose an adapted service. Unless otherwise provided, these taxis also drive at night, in weekends and holidays. To reserve a cab from one of these companies, we recommend you to call them 24 or 48 hours in advance.

However, between 2002 and 2009, the company called “Taxis Verts” has put into circulation 99 PRM-vehicles adapted for the wheelchair. The theoretical waiting time is 1/4 hour after your call, but to be sure, make it 1 hour in advance.

AVIRA
Share or use a wheelchair friendly car thanks to the AVIRA project.
Adjusting a car for people with a mobility constraint is complicated and expensive. For a lot of people, these are reasons not to do it. Those who do modify their vehicle have to invest a considerable amount of money. This is why Autopia launched “AVIRA”: car sharing for everyone with a wheelchair friendly vehicle. This project aims to make adjusted cars more accessible for those who need it. People who don’t own an adjusted car can still use one, and owners of a modified car can recover part of their investment by sharing it with people in their neighborhood.
