Recovering from surgery often means adjusting to temporary mobility challenges, whether you’re dealing with limited weight-bearing, need to avoid bending or twisting, or using a wheelchair for the first time. In these moments, accessible vehicle hire can make all the difference.
At ORA, we understand how critical transport is to a smooth recovery. Thatās why we offer flexible wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) and adapted car hire from just 1 day to 1 year, designed to make life easier post-op.
Why Consider WAV Hire After Surgery?
Safe and Stress-Free Travel
After surgery, getting into a standard car can be uncomfortableāor even risky. A WAV or adapted car provides the space, accessibility, and support needed to safely enter, exit, and travel without strain. No need to worry about twisting, lifting legs, or squeezing into tight seats.
Door-to-Door Delivery
We bring the vehicle to you. Our team delivers and collects at your doorstep – no travel required, just to get on the road. For carers or family members supporting someone post-surgery, this makes logistics far simpler.

Short-Term and Long-Term Hire Options
Not everyone needs long-term transport. Whether you’re attending follow-up hospital appointments, managing a recovery period at home, or simply need reliable mobility for a few weeks, our hires are as flexible as your needs.
Adaptations for Your Comfort
We offer cars with:
- Push/pull hand controls (ideal if weight-bearing is restricted)
- Left foot accelerators
- Automatic ramps or lifts
- Spacious interiors to fit wheelchairs or mobility aids
