Rear Passenger Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles

Your questions answered

What is a Rear passenger WAV?

In a Rear Passenger WAV the wheelchair user will travel in the back. The wheelchair user enters and exits via a manual tailgate and ramp and the wheelchair is safely secured using a wheelchair tie down or locking system.

Sirus offers two Rear Passenger WAVs – the Dacia Jogger – the UK’s only wheelchair accessible car and the Ford Connect. Both vehicles include space for six people as standard – wheelchair user, driver, front passenger and three mid-row passengers. Fold away one, two or three mid-row seats giving you a more inclusive wheelchair position and additional space for larger wheelchairs.

How do you enter and exit a Rear Passenger WAV?

The wheelchair user enters and exits from the rear using a manual tailgate and a shallow ramp.  The ramp also has an anti-slip coating for improved wheel traction in wet weather.

What type of wheelchair can be used?

Both of our rear wheelchair passenger vehicles are suitable for manual and powerchair users. During your home demonstration we will ensure you can sit comfortably with a good view out of the window.

How is the wheelchair secured into place?

Most of our customers opt for a 4-point manual tie down system which will safely secure your wheelchair into position. Alternatively you can consider an automatic wheelchair locking system which will be much easier to operate. This option requires a pin to be fitted to the bottom of your wheelchair, so it’s best to talk this option through with one of our mobility specialists during your demonstration.

What is the best way to fund a Rear Passenger WAV?

If you can’t afford the Advance Payment on Motability, the Motability Foundation may provide a grant towards the cost. To find out more visit the Motability website.  If you prefer not to use the Motability Scheme, we work with Mann Island, a specialist WAV finance company.

 

Can I travel upfront instead?

Yes, Sirus also offer a range of Upfront Passenger solutions. Upfront Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles enable you to travel in the front of the vehicle in your wheelchair. You don’t have to worry about transferring to a standard seat and you can enjoy all of the benefits of being able to sit next to the driver. Sirus offer a Ford side entry WAV and a Ford rear entry WAV for upfront passengers.

 

How do I apply for a Motability Grant?

To apply for a Motability Grant contact Motability on 0800 500 3186 or visit their website. If they think you may be eligible, they will send you an application form. If successful, you will be assigned a case manager who will be your first point of contact and answer any questions you have.
