Reduced mobility transfers with Malakonis Bros are for passengers who are able to stand and sit on the car seat. The wheelchair travels in the back of the vehicle, and our driver is happy to help if you ask. We take you to the airport, the port, your hotel or any destination in Crete.
We are a family business from Kolymbari, driving in Crete since 1979, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
How reduced mobility transfers work
- The passenger moves from the wheelchair to the car seat
- The folded wheelchair travels in the back of the vehicle
- Our driver helps if you ask, for example with the wheelchair and the luggage
- We drive you door to door, at your own pace
Please note that our vehicles are taxis and mini buses, not vans with ramps or lifts, so the passenger needs to be able to move to the car seat.
Before you book
- Tell us about the wheelchair or walking aids you are bringing
- Let us know if you need help getting in and out of the vehicle
- Add any other details in the comments of the booking form
With this information we send the right vehicle for you.
Airport and port pickups
Reduced mobility transfers are often airport transfers. Your driver waits at the meeting point you give us, at Chania Airport, Heraklion Airport or the port, holding a sign with your name. See our Chania airport transfers.
Prices
Prices are per vehicle and per route, not per person. The prices on our price table are indicative and we confirm the final price with your booking.
Reduced mobility transfers with care
Every passenger with reduced mobility has different needs, so we ask a few questions when you book: how you move from the wheelchair to the seat, whether you prefer the front or the back of the vehicle, and how much luggage you are bringing. With these answers we send the vehicle that is easiest for you, for example a mini bus with a wide sliding door, and the driver knows what to expect.
Our drivers are professional, certified taxi drivers who hold a special taxi driver card and follow the strict rules of our company about passenger safety. They are happy to help with the wheelchair and the luggage if you ask.
