How Port Pickup Works – Step by Step
Greek ports can be busy, especially during cruise disembarkation. That is why port pickup follows a clear and organized process.
The driver waits at the agreed meeting point inside or outside the port terminal. Pickup is coordinated in advance with the ship’s arrival and disembarkation schedule to avoid confusion and delays. Assistance is provided from the port area all the way to vehicle boarding.
What you can expect:
- Meeting at a designated port gate or cruise terminal
- Meet-and-greet service at the agreed location
- Assistance with luggage
- Boarding via ramp or hydraulic lift
- Safe wheelchair positioning before departure
Professional coordination reduces stress, even in crowded port environments.
Certified Accessible Vehicles for Port Transfers
Safe transport begins with the right equipment. Special Taxi uses specially adapted and certified wheelchair-accessible vehicles built to meet safety standards for mobility transport.

Vehicle features include:

Transparent pricing allows you to plan confidently and avoid last-minute uncertainty.
How to Book Your Wheelchair Accessible Port Transfer
Booking your transfer is simple and structured. Reservations are arranged via phone booking or email reservation, allowing proper coordination of vehicle and timing.
To reserve the correct vehicle, please provide:
- Ship name and arrival time
- Port terminal or gate information
- Destination address
- Wheelchair type (manual or power)

Why Choose a Specialized Accessible Taxi Instead of Standard Port Transport
Standard taxis at ports are typically not equipped with certified wheelchair securement systems. They may not have ramps or hydraulic lifts, and drivers may not be trained in mobility assistance.
A specialized accessible service offers:
- Guaranteed adapted vehicle
- Safe boarding with lift or ramp
- Secure wheelchair positioning during travel
- Professional assistance from arrival to destination
The difference is not luxury, it is safety, comfort, and operational reliability.
