5 myths about mobility vehicle hire

11 November 2024

If you’ve never hired a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, you may have questions. Actually, we find that when people call us to enquire about WAV car hire, they’re pleasantly surprised by how simple and straightforward the whole process is. With that in mind, we thought it might be worth tackling some of the misconceptions people have about WAV hire. Here are 5 myths that we are happy to dispel.

Myth #1: WAV hire is expensive

WAV hire is more affordable than you might think. Our prices are flexible, meaning the longer you hire, the lower your daily rate – from just £75 a day if you hire the WAV for a week, for example. The price includes delivery, collection, insurance, and breakdown cover, so it’s really good value. For a personalised quote, contact our team today.

You can also enjoy exclusive savings on your WAV car hire by spreading the word about ORA. When you refer a friend or family member to us, both of you will get rewarded with a 10% discount, which you can use to save on your next wheelchair accessible vehicle hire.

Myth #2: You have to hire a WAV for a set amount of days

Other WAV hire providers insist that you hire a vehicle for a minimum amount of days. But that’s not the case with ORA. You can hire our wheelchair accessible vehicle for a day, a week, a month, or even an entire year. Ultimately, we don’t want you to feel restricted. We want you to have the freedom to hire a WAV on your terms, whether that’s just for a few days or for longer periods. In short, you can hire a WAV from us for as many or as few days as you wish.  

Myth #3: It’s hard to find the right WAV for my needs

Everyone who hires a WAV from us is different. Likewise, you’ll have your own unique mobility needs. The good news is we offer the largest range of WAVs for hire anywhere in the UK. Each one has been specially adapted so that you can travel in comfort, where your needs may be. What’s more, our knowledgeable team are always on hand to help. When you get in touch, they’ll ask you a few questions about the kind of vehicle you’re looking for and your requirements. Then, they’ll match you with the perfect wheelchair accessible vehicle for you.

Myth #4: It’s a time-consuming process

Our customer service teams are certainly thorough when it comes to matching you with the right wheelchair accessible vehicle. But that doesn’t mean the process takes a long time. In fact, they’re so experienced in arranging wheelchair accessible vehicles that they know exactly the right questions to ask. And, once they’ve matched you with the right vehicle, they can get one out to you super quick. Typically, you can expect your WAV to be delivered to your door the next day.

Myth #5: There are no WAV hires near me

It doesn’t matter where you are in the UK – we can get a wheelchair accessible vehicle to you. That’s because ORA is a nationwide service. And the best part is, you don’t need to come to us, we’ll come to you. We will deliver and collect your WAV to and from you, wherever you are in the UK. The process is simple, straightforward and built around you.
