Wheelchair taxi

Has anyone got experience of using a taxi which can take a wheelchair with someone seated in it?
When it comes to getting the wheelchair out of the taxi, does the ground that the taxi is parked on need to be level or can it be on a slope? (I'm thinking of a pretty steep slope, not just slightly off horizontal.)

Taxis that take wheel chairs should have ramps to put down so the chair can be wheeled in and out. Make sure you request a wheelchair taxi when booking.#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j

The road can be on a slope and doesnt have to be 100% level.0

Could the wheelchair not be wheeled to an area of more level land, if this is causing an issue?0 -
The problem is that the angle of the driveway to access the house is too steep to safely use a wheelchair - probably 15 degrees and there is no level land at the top. The taxi could drive up and park at the top of the drive, but I'm worried about how to get the wheelchair out of the taxi.0
