Plan ahead

Christmas is our busiest time of year

Our vehicles are booked up quickly over the festive period, and once they’re all booked, they’re gone. So we suggest booking early, to make sure we can reserve a vehicle for you.

Step by step

How Christmas hire works

You don’t need to know which vehicle you need. Working that out is our job.

We match you with a vehicle that fits

Small, medium or large, with room for your wheelchair and your passengers.

We deliver it to your home

On or before 22 December. We’ll show you the ramp, the straps and the seats before we go.

Enjoy the festive period

Insurance and breakdown cover are included, so if anything goes wrong, help is a call away.

Will my wheelchair fit?

We’ll check before anything is booked. Just tell us about your wheelchair and we’ll do the rest.

New to WAVs?

What exactly is a WAV?

A wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) is a car or van that’s been adapted so you can travel without leaving your wheelchair. You go in up a ramp or on a lift, your wheelchair is secured, and you travel alongside everyone else.

Is it easy to drive?

If you can drive a car, you can drive one. We’ll show you everything on delivery day.

Automatic or manual?

We have both. Tell us what you’re used to driving.

Do you have adapted cars too?

Yes. If you drive yourself and need adaptations, such as hand controls, we have adapted cars as well as WAVs. Just tell us what you need.

Being honestWAVs can be a little noisier than a car, as many are converted vans. Most people soon stop noticing.

After 5 January

Need it for longer?

You can keep the vehicle after your Christmas hire, for as long as you need it.

A few extra days

Extend your hire

If you only need it for a few more days, we may be able to offer a discounted rate. Just ask when you book.

A few weeks

Keep it as long as you like

Extend your hire for as long as you need it, at our short-term hire rate.

3 months or more

A subscription will usually save you money

Plans start from £899 a month for 3 months, compared with around £2,250 a month to hire. Longer plans cost less each month, down to £695 on a 1-year plan.

Questions people often ask

Can I choose different dates?

Yes. Over Christmas, the minimum hire is 7 days, so you could book 10 days, for example. Our two Christmas offers are 7 days (22 to 29 December) or 14 days (22 December to 5 January), and the 14-day offer is the cheaper way to hire for two weeks. Outside the festive period, you can hire a WAV for as little as one day, or take a subscription from 3 months.

Can I keep the vehicle after 5 January?

Yes, for as long as you need it. If it’s just a few extra days, we may be able to offer a discounted rate. If you need it for 3 months or more, a subscription will usually cost you less.

What's included?

Full insurance, breakdown cover, and delivery to your home and collection at the end. We’ll also show you how everything works when we deliver the vehicle.

Is there a deposit?

Yes, a refundable £60 deposit when you book. We pay it back within 2 weeks of collecting the vehicle.

Are all vehicle sizes the same price?

Yes. Small, medium and large vehicles are all £645 + VAT for 7 days, or £995 + VAT for 14 days.

Who can drive, and is there a mileage limit?

There’s no mileage limit and no upper or lower age limit, though an extra charge may apply for drivers under 21 or over 75. New drivers and people with an international licence can be insured too.

Will my wheelchair fit?

We’ll check before anything is booked. Just tell us about your wheelchair, and we’ll match you with a vehicle that fits.

What if the vehicle breaks down over Christmas?

Breakdown cover is included, so help is a call away.

Where do you deliver?

Across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

What if I need to cancel?

Our standard rental terms apply.

Do the prices include VAT?

Prices exclude VAT. If the vehicle is for a disabled person’s personal or domestic use, you may not need to pay VAT. We’ll check whether this applies to you.
