Prosthetics and Mobility Aids on Arrival
Updated 3 min read
Getting in and out of a car comfortably with a prosthetic limb can take more time and a bit more space than it does for other passengers, especially after a long flight when everything feels stiffer than usual. It's not something that needs to be explained at the kerb — a short note when you book handles it in advance.
Here's what's worth including, and what stays the same regardless.

What to note when you book
A brief line saying you may need a little extra time getting in and out of the car is enough for the driver to know to allow for it without needing further explanation. If a particular seating position or extra space would help specifically, mention that too — the more concrete the note, the easier it is to act on.
Mobility aids alongside the prosthetic
If you're also travelling with crutches, a cane, or another mobility aid, mention it alongside your other notes — most of these are small enough to travel in the cabin without affecting your luggage count, but it's worth flagging so the driver isn't caught off guard.
Time and waiting are on your side
The pickup follows your flight's actual landing time, and every pickup includes free waiting from when the driver confirms arrival — so there's no pressure to move faster than is comfortable through the terminal or at the kerb.
Booking the return leg the same way
It's worth adding the same note to your departure booking as your arrival, rather than only thinking about it for the first leg of the trip — the same need for a little extra time applies just as much heading to the airport as it did arriving, and it's a small thing to repeat when you book the return.

- Flight tracked — pickup follows your live arrival
- 45 minutes free waiting, from your driver's confirmed arrival
- No terminal fee

- Free cancellation up to 12 hours
Questions people ask before booking
Do I need to explain my situation at the kerb?
No — a short note at booking is enough. It means the driver already knows to allow extra time rather than you needing to explain in person.
Can I request a specific seating position?
Yes — mention it in your notes if a particular seat or extra space would genuinely help.
Do crutches or a cane count as extra luggage?
Most mobility aids like these are small enough to travel in the cabin without affecting your luggage count, though it's still worth mentioning them in your notes.
Will I be rushed getting to the car?
No — the pickup follows your actual landing time and includes free waiting, so there's no pressure to move faster than is comfortable.
Can I request a specific pickup point that's easier for me to reach?
Mention it in your notes — we can't guarantee every specific request, but it's read and taken into account when possible.
Does this note need to be added every time I book?
Yes, each booking is its own note, so it's worth adding it consistently on every trip rather than assuming it carries over automatically.
Can I ask for a specific seat height or car type?
Mention what would help in your notes — we can't guarantee every specific vehicle detail, but it's read and considered when assigning a car.
Does the driver need to know which side to load from?
If that matters for you, say so explicitly — it's a small detail that's easy to accommodate once it's known in advance.
Is there a cost difference for adding these notes to a booking?
No — notes about your needs don't change the fixed price, which is set by route and vehicle category and shown before you book.
