FLF Taxi Riihimäki
Wheelchair-accessible taxi and minivan taxi in Riihimäki
In Riihimäki there are fewer accessible taxis than there is demand. FLF's vehicles with a lift or ramp serve the town and its neighbours.
Getting a wheelchair-accessible taxi in Riihimäki is not always a given, because there are few vehicles with a wheelchair space in the town. FLF's Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Volkswagen Crafter minivan taxis and Caddy Maxi wheelchair vehicles are fitted with a lift or ramp, and they can be pre-booked for Riihimäki both for private rides and for care homes' and the wellbeing services county's contract journeys. Our drivers are our own employees and assist you in and out of the vehicle.
The same fleet serves as ordinary minivan taxis: 1–8 passengers from the railway station, the Riihimäki garrison or your front door to the airport, Hämeenlinna or Helsinki. Helsinki-Vantaa Airport is about 60 kilometres from Riihimäki, 45–60 minutes' drive. Loppi and Hausjärvi are neighbouring municipalities we serve daily, and Hyvinkää is a quarter of an hour away.
Individual rides in Riihimäki are booked through the region's most common dispatch channels and apps, where our vehicles operate. Advance bookings, accessible rides, airport transfers and care homes' or businesses' contract journeys are agreed directly with us. The price depends on the route, time, vehicle size, the assistance needed and frequency. You will usually have a quote on the same working day.

Wheelchair-accessible taxi in Riihimäki: accessible fleet and an assisting driver
Our accessible vehicles meet Traficom's requirements: the wheelchair space is at least 0.75 × 1.10 metres, the interior height is 1.40–1.45 metres, and each vehicle has a lift or ramp, wheelchair restraints and a seat belt. Powered and wider wheelchairs fit in the Sprinter and Crafter; the Caddy Maxi suits one wheelchair user and an escort. The driver secures the wheelchair, assists you in and out and accompanies you to the door if needed.
In Riihimäki accessible rides are typically needed for Riihimäki Health Centre and Kanta-Häme Central Hospital in Hämeenlinna, rehabilitation, day activities and care home outings. When you book, tell us the type of wheelchair, whether a lift is needed or a ramp is enough, whether an escort is coming and whether the passenger needs help indoors. That way we send the right vehicle and allow the right amount of time.
Private accessible rides are pre-booked directly with us at a fixed price. The price depends on the distance, time of day, waiting time and the extent of assistance.
Kela taxi and Oma Häme rides in Riihimäki
Kela taxi
A Kela-reimbursed taxi journey in Kanta-Häme is booked through the region's Kela booking number, not directly from a taxi company. The dispatch assigns the ride to a contract partner, and FLF vehicles drive these journeys. Mention a wheelchair when booking.
Oma Häme
Disability services and Social Welfare Act transport of Oma Häme, the Kanta-Häme wellbeing services county, is booked through the dispatch the county designates. Our vehicles drive these rides as a contract partner via the dispatch.
Care homes and units
A care home or care unit can agree regular rides directly with us, for example to day activities or outings, with an accessible vehicle and a consolidated invoice.
Escort welcome
An escort travels in the same vehicle. Tell us when booking if the passenger also needs help indoors so that the time is allowed for.

Minivan taxi in Riihimäki for groups and events
A minivan taxi for 1+8 passengers is the right vehicle in Riihimäki for a family's airport trip, a sports club's away game and transporting party guests. Garrison conscripts leaving for and returning from leave, cottage owners in Loppi and celebrations in Hausjärvi are familiar routes. A group larger than eight travels in several minivan taxis from the same point, because we do not have minibuses for more than 8 people.
For a charter the price is agreed in advance and depends on the number of stops, waiting time, vehicle size and time of day. Tell us the schedule and the stops when booking, and we will propose the number of vehicles and confirm the price by message. For weekends and public holidays it is worth booking a few days ahead.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a wheelchair-accessible taxi in Riihimäki?
Yes. FLF's accessible Sprinter, Crafter and Caddy Maxi vehicles serve Riihimäki, Loppi and Hausjärvi on a pre-booking basis. They have a lift or ramp, wheelchair restraints and a space that meets Traficom's requirements, and the driver assists you in and out. Because there are few accessible vehicles in Riihimäki, we recommend booking the day before.
How do I book a Kela taxi in Riihimäki?
A Kela-reimbursed taxi journey in Kanta-Häme is booked through the region's Kela booking number, not directly from a taxi company. The dispatch assigns the ride to a contract partner, and FLF vehicles drive these journeys. When booking, say if you need an accessible vehicle or an escort so the right vehicle is sent. The co-payment follows Kela's rules.
How much does a taxi from Riihimäki to the airport cost?
The price is agreed as a fixed amount in advance and depends on the pick-up address, time of day and vehicle size. The journey to Helsinki-Vantaa is about 60 kilometres and takes 45–60 minutes. A minivan taxi for 5–8 people is often cheaper than two cars. Request a quote and we will confirm the price by message, usually on the same working day.
Do you drive to Loppi and Hausjärvi?
Yes. Loppi and Hausjärvi are Riihimäki's neighbouring municipalities and part of our daily service area, as are Hyvinkää and Hämeenlinna. Accessible rides, airport transfers and minivan taxis leave from the front door in these municipalities too, and the fixed price is calculated from the pick-up address.
Can a care home agree regular rides?
Yes. A care home or care unit gets an invoicing agreement where, for example, weekly day-activity rides or outings are driven in an accessible vehicle, preferably with a regular driver, and invoiced monthly on a consolidated invoice. Tell us the residents' mobility aids and schedules, and we will size the vehicles and usually quote on the same working day.
How long does a taxi from Riihimäki to Hämeenlinna take?
About 30 minutes along the motorway. A ride to Kanta-Häme Central Hospital, Verkatehdas or Hämeenlinna railway station is pre-booked at a fixed price, and an accessible vehicle takes a wheelchair user straight to the main entrance. For the return, the driver can wait or come back at an agreed time.
