Our conversions are designed so you can get in and out of the vehicle safely and unassisted.
Although this is an option we do provide, it may not be for you. If you do not have the ability to transfer unassisted, or just prefer to save your energy, this is the right solution for you.
We meet many customers who really struggle with travelling in the rear of a vehicle. Often sitting on the rear axle, this can be an extremely bumpy ride which can be very uncomfortable, unsociable and can cause travel sickness.
The majority of our customers use the Motability Scheme, the largest scheme for disabled people in Europe. A not-for-profit organisation, it provides help and funding towards cars, car adaptations, wheelchair accessible vehicles, driving adaptations, powered wheelchairs and scooters. If you receive Higher Rate Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payment (PIP) you are entitled to use the Scheme.
Wheelchair accessible vehicles are available on a minimum five-year lease. Your agreement includes insurance, breakdown assistance, servicing and maintenance. With any wheelchair accessible vehicle there is an upfront payment which will have to be made, followed by your monthly DLA or PIP.
Many of our customers apply to Motability for a grant and receive help towards the Advance Payment as well as any adaptations required. We can help you through this process, giving you help and advice throughout your journey with us. Speak to our mobility specialists for more advice.
