New on the blog

Getting home for Christmas from a rehab setting

Planning a home visit or discharge over the festive period? Our new blog covers what to think about and how to get transport arranged in time.

In their words · Independent voices from the sector

Transport is too often the part of rehabilitation that gets left behind

Housing, care and medical appointments rightly receive close attention. Transport is often arranged late, arranged poorly or not arranged at all — and clients miss appointments, lose access to therapy and have their independence held back just when momentum matters most. Four sector-leading voices from rehabilitation medicine, occupational therapy, personal injury law and case management explain why transport deserves to be treated as seriously as housing or care.

On why transport needs to be on the legal agenda early in a serious injury claim.

Dr Trevor D. Sterling (Hon. causa)

Senior Partner & Head of Major Trauma, Moore Barlow

One of the UK’s most respected personal injury lawyers, with nearly four decades of experience. Trevor established Moore Barlow’s Major Trauma Service and was part of the working group behind the Rehabilitation Code 2015.

On the difference it makes when transport is treated as a priority from day one.

Dilara Rogers

Managing Director, Harrison Associates

Dilara leads one of the UK’s leading rehabilitation consultancies, providing expert case management, expert witness services and personal care for people with catastrophic and complex injuries.

On how the right transport shapes what a rehabilitation programme can achieve.

Dr Ian McCurdie

Board Chairman & Co-Founder, Remedy Healthcare

A Consultant in Sport, Exercise & Rehabilitation Medicine, Ian spent 22 years as a British Army doctor, including at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, Headley Court, and was Chief Medical Officer for Team GB at London 2012.

On transport as the enabler of everything else in a client’s independence.

Director, KS Occupational Therapy Services

An occupational therapist specialising in housing, equipment and environmental design. Kate co-authored the Wheelchair Housing Design Guide and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists.

Price it · Justify it

From a quick price to evidence a funder will accept

Quick quote

Need a price? Get one in minutes.

Tell us where and when your client needs a vehicle, whether they’ll drive or travel as a passenger, and a little about their mobility. You’ll get indicative pricing straight away — no need to wait for a call back. Not sure what will work long-term? Start with a short trial.

Cost comparison

Need to justify it to a funder? Compare the options.

Our cost comparison tool sets ORA hire against taxis and vehicle purchase, based on your client’s actual journeys. It produces a clear, neutral summary you can share with a solicitor, insurer or deputy — giving them the evidence they need to approve funding sooner.

How we help you

Whatever your role in your client’s recovery

Case managers

Less admin. More time for your clients.

Our tools do the legwork: get an instant quote, produce a cost comparison for the funder, and manage bookings through our self-serve portal — without chasing emails or waiting for call backs.

Solicitors & deputies

Insurer approval — and the best for your client.

Our cost comparison gives the insurer clear evidence of why hire is the right choice, helping you secure approval. Flexible terms, from a day to multi-year hire, mean your client gets the right vehicle now, without committing to one before their needs are known.

Clinicians & therapists

Better outcomes for your patients.

The right transport means therapy sessions attended, momentum maintained and independence regained sooner. As your patient progresses, the vehicle can change with them — from a WAV to an adapted car to driving again.

Families & carers

Get out and travel together again.

Home visits, days out, family occasions and holidays — the right vehicle means you can share experiences together, not just get to appointments. We deliver to your door and show you how everything works.

Case studies

Not every case needs a WAV — and every case needs the right fit

Acquired brain injury

Back behind the wheel — without a WAV

A client with a mild-to-moderate brain injury needed to return to driving safely. Instead of a wheelchair accessible vehicle — or an early purchase decision — we provided a Volvo XC60 on a flexible subscription, with fatigue-management and lane-assist features.

Severe spinal cord injury

Protecting 15+ hours of weekly rehabilitation

An unsuitable taxi account was putting a client’s 15+ hours of weekly rehabilitation at risk. A passenger WAV from ORA gave him dependable transport to every session.

Thought leadership

What the clinical evidence says about transport in rehabilitation

Access to transport shapes whether people can attend therapy, stay connected and take part in community life. Our paper brings together the clinical evidence on the role transport plays in rehabilitation — and what it means for the people you support.

Hire Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle

Compare the cost of transport options for your client

Our cost comparison tool sets ORA hire side by side with taxis and buying a vehicle, based on your client’s actual journeys. It produces a clear, neutral summary you can share with a solicitor, insurer or deputy. This gives them the evidence they need to approve funding sooner.
