Italy Wheelchair Accessible Van Transfers
In many places in Europe, there may be only one or two accessible taxis or vans in the entire city! It is important to book your wheelchair accessible transfers in advance because availability is limited. Water taxis in Venice are a great way for disabled travelers to get around and accessible vans in Tuscany will allow you to see the quaint towns, wineries, and beautiful Italian countryside from Florence. Accessible van transfers are also available in Rome, Florence, Naples, Sorrento, and Livorno. For more information, contact one of our accessible travel
