Wheelchair Accessible Taxi in Chongqing
Regrettably, China as a whole isn’t a very wheelchair-accessible-friendly country, and Chongqing is no exception. There’s no dedicated wheelchair-accessible Chongqing taxi service and the regular taxis don’t have equipped vehicles either. If you need a fully wheelchair-accessible taxi in Chongqing, you will need to book through an independent tour company before arriving or renting a large car.
Chongqing Taxi Safety and Complaints
Taking a taxi in Chongqing is usually a safe and pleasant experience. The only thing you may want to look out for is your driver not starting the taximeter or your driver taking a long route than needed. You can always ask them to turn the taximeter on if they forget and track the route on a GPS app. If you do experience any issues, you can make an official complaint by calling the local taxi hotline on +86 0239 6096. Be sure to note your driver’s ID number, the taxi number and any details about your journey before calling.
