Wheelchair-Accessible Van Service in San Mateo
Everyone deserves transportation that works for them. For riders who use a wheelchair, finding a reliable ride can take more planning than it should. Luxor Cab Peninsula, a family-owned taxi company that has served San Mateo and the mid-Peninsula since 1941, offers a handicapped-accessible van as part of our fleet of cars, minivans, and accessible vehicles. Our accessible, spacious vans are designed for a smooth ride for all passengers.
Who Our Accessible Van Serves
Our wheelchair-accessible van is available to anyone who needs it, including:
- Riders who use a wheelchair
- People traveling with a companion or caregiver
- Older adults with changing mobility needs
- Patients heading to or from medical appointments
- Families who want everyone to travel together in one vehicle
Everyday Trips, Not Just Special Occasions
Accessible transportation is about daily life. Riders use our accessible van for the same reasons anyone takes a taxi: getting to work, visiting family, shopping, attending appointments, going to community events, or catching a flight. Because we operate Monday to Sunday, 24/7, you can plan trips around your schedule rather than around limited service windows.
Planning Your Accessible Ride
A little information up front helps us make sure the right vehicle arrives and the trip goes smoothly. When you book, it helps to share:
- That you need the wheelchair-accessible van
- The type of mobility device you use
- How many people will be riding, including companions or caregivers
- Your pickup and drop-off addresses, and any details about the best entrance
- Your preferred pickup time and whether you need a return trip
If you have questions about whether the van will suit your specific needs, please reach out before your trip. Our contact page lists the ways to reach our team, and we are happy to talk it through.
Why Booking Ahead Helps
Because the accessible van is a specific vehicle, reserving in advance is the best way to make sure it is ready when you need it. This is especially true for time-sensitive trips such as medical appointments or airport departures. You can request your ride through our online reservations page and note that you need the accessible van.
Safety and Respect on Every Ride
A good accessible ride is about more than the vehicle. It is about how riders are treated from pickup to drop-off.
Trusted Drivers
All Luxor Cab Peninsula drivers are insured and background-checked. Riders and their families can feel confident about who is behind the wheel.
Clean, Modern Vehicles
We keep our vehicles modern and clean, so the ride is comfortable from start to finish.
Dispatchers Focused on Timing
Our dispatchers work to help riders get where they need to go on time. If plans change, call and let us know so we can adjust.
Combining Accessible Rides with Other Services
Riders who use our accessible van can also rely on other parts of our service. For example, you might pair an accessible ride with a scheduled trip to the doctor’s office, or plan an airport pickup for a family member who uses a wheelchair. You can see how these fit together on our services page, which covers airport rides, medical trips, advance reservations, minivan and SUV service, and long-distance travel. We also provide rides to the doctor for routine and follow-up appointments.
For Caregivers and Family Members
If you are arranging a ride for someone else, you are welcome to book on their behalf. Include your own contact information as well as the rider’s, and share anything that will help the trip go smoothly, such as which door to use or whether the rider will be accompanied. Clear details make it easier for our team to provide a comfortable, respectful ride.

Luxor Cab Peninsula has been part of the San Mateo community since 1941. Providing safe, reliable, and timely transportation to everyone in our community, including riders who need an accessible vehicle, is part of what that means to us. You can learn more about our story on our About Us page.
