Contact a hotel or transport provider before booking and describe your access needs for each journey. Do not assume an airport shuttle or a car with a driver is accessible.
For example, Babylon Rotana in Baghdad advertises an airport shuttle for guests, but its website does not confirm an accessible vehicle. Ask the hotel whether it can arrange one for your dates, or suggest a provider.
- Give the route, dates, number of passengers and luggage. Include your budget and any return trip.
- Explain whether you can transfer to a seat or need to travel in your wheelchair. Give its dimensions and ask about a ramp or lift, restraints, space and assistance as needed. Request photos of the actual vehicle.
- Ask for a written quote, meeting point, journey time, rest stops and cancellation terms. Confirm the return vehicle and assistance separately before paying. If the provider cannot confirm your needs, keep looking.
Check current travel advice before making plans. The UK FCDO advises against all travel to parts of Iraq and against all but essential travel to other parts.
