For its size, Las Vegas has an above-average size fleet of wheelchair taxis which can accommodate both manual and powered wheelchairs. The accessible taxi vans have a lowered floor and are equipped for rear (lift gate) entry. Unlike in other cities, wheelchair taxis can be ordered on demand and typically arrive within 15-20 minutes, if not sooner, in Las Vegas.

Note that, when paying with a credit card, an additional surcharge of $3.00 will apply, whether taking a flat rate trip or a metered ride.
On metered trips, the taxi driver should not start the meter until after the wheelchair user has been secured and the vehicle is prepared to move.
Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS) is only three miles from the Vegas Strip, so a taxi from the airport will be economical and faster than the use of public transportation.
