Stay connected in winter: How WAV hire can benefit your mental wellbeing

As the days get shorter and temperatures drop, staying connected with loved ones becomes even more important for our mental wellbeing. For wheelchair users, winter can feel incredibly isolating, but it doesn’t have to. At Open Road Access, our wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) hire service offers an easy way to stay connected, enjoy outings, and maintain independence throughout the season. Here’s how WAV car hire can help you beat the winter blues and make the most of the colder months.

Boost your wellbeing by getting outdoors

Getting outside, even on colder days, is proven to have a positive effect on mental wellbeing. Spending time in nature or simply meeting a friend for a stroll around the park can help you feel more connected and reduce feelings of loneliness. Even better, take advantage of our mobility vehicle hire service and escape the hustle and bustle of urban life. Getting away to calmer, more tranquil spots like nature reserves and country parks is a simple way to lift the winter blues.

Enjoy the freedom to do whatever you want

Your passions and hobbies are important for your sense of self and happiness. Whether it’s painting, attending a music event, or taking a cooking class, make time to enjoy what you love—even in winter. ORA’s flexible WAV hire service gives you the freedom to reach activities and events without worrying about transport limitations. It’s a perfect way to stay active, engaged, and fulfilled during the darker months.

Get together with friends and family

Spending quality time with friends and family is important for your mental wellbeing. It gives you a way of sharing nice things together and gives you someone you can count on for support if you need it. If you haven’t seen loved ones in a while, consider planning a get-together or day out. With ORA’s WAV rental, you can enjoy outings with friends and family without the stress of arranging accessible transport. Use our WAV hire service to make these moments happen, giving you and your loved ones the chance to create meaningful memories this winter.

Book a WAV car hire for the day… or longer

Being able to get out and about can give you a real sense of freedom. Popping to the shops, hair salon, or meeting a friend for a coffee – little things like these can make everyday life seem brighter in the winter. Or, maybe you fancy expanding your horizons and visiting somewhere you’ve never been. Our WAV car hire service is a great way to get away with friends and explore someplace new. 

You can hire a wheelchair accessible vehicle from us for a day, a weekend, a couple of weeks… however long you like. It’s an easy way to do something nice during the winter months rather than feeling like you’re stuck indoors.
