About this guide

This is a high-level guide based on our standard fleet. Exact vehicle specifications vary. Before booking, please always check the specifictrip page notes, view our vehicle guide, or contact us if you have specific medical or mobility needs.

Our Promise

Honesty is the best policy

Accessibility isn't one-size-fits-all. We provide clear, honest information so you can make the decision that's right for you.

Clarity over perfection

We’d rather give you honest information about limits and constraints than pretend every trip suits every body.

Dignity and calm

Boarding and seating should feel calm and respectful. We plan timings and pickup points to avoid the rush.

People first planning

We think about walking distances, steps, toilets and rests – not just driving time.

Travelling with mobility aids

Our standard fleet consists of step-access minibuses. While we accommodate many aids, we do not always have low-floor access.

Likely Suitable
Walking sticks & small aids

Usually travel on your lap, overhead, or in a secure luggage area.

Note: Tell us when booking so the driver knows to allow extra time at steps.

Likely Suitable
Foldable wheelchairs

If you can transfer to a seat, the folded chair can often be stored in luggage.

Note: We’ll confirm space and tie-down options based on the vehicle size.

Check First
Non-folding chairs / Scooters

Most standard minibuses have steps. Level boarding spaces are limited.

Note: Look for trips marked 'Accessible Vehicle' or contact us to check lift availability.

Likely Unsuitable
Large medical equipment

Bulky or power-dependent equipment requires bespoke planning.

Note: Contact us well in advance. We may be able to signpost specialist alternatives.

Boarding & Seating

Exact layouts vary, but most Kytrix vehicles feature a front side door with 2–3 steps and handrails.

Luggage & Equipment

We plan space for small bags per person. Aisles must remain clear for safety.

For airport transfers or large equipment, please confirm capacity with us before booking.

Suitability Check

Which trips might suit me?

Common scenarios to help you gauge if a trip fits your comfort level.

"I can walk but struggle with steps"

You’re generally OK on your feet but need time, handrails and sensible pacing.

Likely Trips

  • Shorter local trips.
  • Mainland days with close drops.
  • Airport transfers (driver helps with bags).

Things to check

  • Step count on trip page.
  • Walking distance at venue.
  • Rest stop frequency.
"I use a wheelchair full-time"

You may be able to transfer into a seat, or you may need to remain in your chair.

Likely Trips

  • Trips with 'Accessible Partner' vehicles.
  • Bespoke private group journeys.

Things to check

  • Lifts/Ramps explicitly mentioned.
  • Tie-down arrangements.
  • Venue accessibility.
"I worry about long/busy days"

Physically OK, but you get tired, sore or overwhelmed on long or busy days.

Likely Trips

  • Half-day local trips.
  • Low-sensory destinations (Gardens).
  • Trips with planned rest blocks.

Things to check

  • Total trip duration.
  • Venue noise levels.
  • Quiet zones availability.

Sensory & Comfort

We know that for autistic passengers, anxious travellers, or children, the "vibe" is just as important as the ramp.

  • We publish total day lengths so you can plan energy levels.
  • We aim for calm journeys, not loud music or shouting.
  • Headphones, fidgets, and comfort items are always welcome.

Unsure? Just ask.

If you are on the fence about a specific venue or trip duration, a quick conversation is the best way to avoid frustration.
