Actually, you need a few more stars to properly review Loyal Lifts! Our experience, transporting my wheelchair-bound mom to the Arboretum for their Winter Lights show, could not have been better. Their vehicle was spotless, our owner/driver is a delight to meet, the rates were reasonable, and I especially enjoyed the opportunity to patronize this small, family run local business. Scheduling was easy and everything ran smoothly. There are not many other services quite like this in Asheville, so I was veey pleased to find Loyal Lifts!

I found them in a pinch to transport my mother who is in a wheelchair and on oxygen. I could not ask for better service. Will definitely use them in the future.

My 91-year-old mother doesnt walk and she needed wheelchair transportation from the airport. I didnt quite know where to turn until a friend recommended Loyal Lifts, as she had known the owner for many years. Keith (owner and driver) responded immediately to all my communications. He is the most professional, accommodating, kindest, gentlest, and most helpful gentleman I could have ever imagined. He was professional, on time and very reasonable price. My mothers chair was very secure and she felt very safe. I will use his service again at the drop of a hat.

Best car service ever! We had troubles finding an Uber into Asheville and loyal lifts came to the rescue! They were more than accommodating and so friendly. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. Would highly recommend!
