WAV Hire Near Me: What to Look For?

When you search for “wheelchair accessible vehicle hire near me,” you’re not just looking for transport — you’re looking for trust, flexibility, and support.

Whether you’re a wheelchair user, a carer, or booking on behalf of a family member, finding the right WAV hire service is about more than location. It’s about choosing a provider who understands mobility and designs every step around it.

Here’s everything you need to know when choosing a local WAV hire provider and why ORA makes it simple, wherever you are in the UK.

What Makes a Good WAV Hire Service?

When choosing a WAV hire company, ask yourself:

Do they deliver nationwide, even to homes or hospitals?

The best WAV hire companies bring the vehicle to you, not the other way around. ORA offers nationwide delivery and collection, so whether you’re in Birmingham, Bristol, or a rural village, you’re covered.

Are the vehicles designed for real-life accessibility needs?

Not all WAVs are created equal. The best ones include:

• Low-entry ramps or powered lifts
• Secure wheelchair restraint systems
• Comfortable space for passengers and carers
• Optional hand controls or left-foot accelerators

At ORA, our fleet includes small, medium, and internal transfer WAVs, plus adapted vehicles for drivers with disabilities.

Do they offer flexibility, not long-term lock-in?

Your needs might change. Maybe you only need a vehicle for a few days after surgery. Maybe it’s for a family trip or to test before buying.

With ORA, you can hire for as little as 1 day or up to 12 months. We’ll work around you, not the other way round.

Is support available before, during, and after the hire?

You don’t want to be left figuring things out yourself. At ORA, we provide:

• Walk-throughs on delivery — including how to use ramps, restraints, and adaptations
• 24/7 breakdown cover
• Real human help on the phone if you need it
• Guides for carers and first-time WAV users
