Mobility Cars and Motoring For Disabled Drivers and Passengers

Whether you are a wheelchair-using driver or passenger looking for a WAV (wheelchair accessible vehicle), or someone with reduced mobility or dexterity seeking hand controls and other adapted driving controls, you should find what you need here.

If you need wheelchair accessible transport, or a car with adapted driving controls, for a short time only, it is possible to hire an adapted vehicle - either small or large - on a self-drive rental basis.

If you have seriously reduced mobility, and difficulties in funding your vehicle purchase or adaptation, Motability may be able to help with a grant. You can find out more from their helpline on: 0845 456 4566
