Guidance for taxi, private-hire vehicle and mini cab staff about guide dogs
Accessible taxis, mini cabs and private hire vehicles (PHV) are a vital form of transport for blind and partially sighted people. This is because we are unable to drive, and often face barriers accessing public transport. They can also provide us with essential assistance and door-to-door services.
We have designed this guide to ensure that drivers and other staff working to support taxi and minicab travel can feel confident when helping blind and partially sighted people and their guide dogs.
