Step by step
How a WAV subscription works
It’s like having your own vehicle, without buying one. You pay monthly, we look after it, and when your plan ends we collect it. You don’t need to know which vehicle you need. Working that out is our job.
1
Tell us about you and your wheelchair
We’ll tell you exactly what to measure and talk you through it. It only takes a few minutes, and if you’re not sure of an answer, we’ll help you find it.
2
We match you with a vehicle that fits
Matched to your wheelchair and how you travel, with room for whoever comes with you.
3
Delivered to your door
Our driver shows you the ramp, the straps and the seats, and stays until you’re comfortable. Delivery and collection is a one-off £250, added to your first month.
4
We look after it
Servicing, MOT, tax and breakdown cover are sorted. If something goes wrong, one call and we’ll sort it.
When your plan ends, you can carry on month by month, choose a new plan to get a lower monthly price, or hand the vehicle back and we’ll collect it.
Will my wheelchair fit?
We’ll check before anything is booked. And you have 7 days after delivery to change your mind, if it isn’t right for you.

Excellent service from beginning to end. Very helpful staff on the phone and lovely delivery man, who went through everything when he delivered the vehicle. Couldn't ask for better service.

Why a subscription makes life easier
How it compares with buying, taxis and renting.
Instead of buying
No lump sum, and no upkeep to organise
Buying often means £20,000 or more upfront, then the running costs on top.
- No MOT, servicing or tax to arrange
- No insurance to shop around for
- Nothing to sell when you're done
Instead of taxis
Go when you want, together
One predictable monthly price, instead of fares that add up trip by trip.
- No booking ahead
- No waiting around or no-shows
- Room for whoever's coming with you
Instead of renting
Pay less than half as much each month
Renting
£2,250
a month (around)
Subscription
£899
a month (3-month plan)
And £695 a month on a 1-year plan.
- No rebooking every few weeks
- Two drivers insured, not one
- Servicing and breakdown cover included

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.
Being honestWAVs can be a little noisier than a car, as many are converted vans. Most people soon stop noticing.
Is it like a minibus?
No. Most of our vehicles look like a large family car or a people carrier.
Is it easy to drive?
If you can drive a car, you can drive one. You’ll need a standard licence, and 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.
For families
Arranging it together?
Many of the people we speak to are sorting out a vehicle with their partner, their mum or dad, or their son or daughter. We’re happy to talk it through with all of you, including anyone who’ll be driving.
- Two drivers insured, so the driving can be shared.
- We'll find a vehicle with the seats your family needs.
- Save your quote and share it, so everyone can look at it together.

Peace of mind
It can change when life does
Here’s what happens if your plans change, in plain words.
Changing your mind
You have 7 days after delivery to change your mind. You’d only pay for the days you’ve had the vehicle, plus the £250 delivery and collection.
If the vehicle isn't right
Talk to us. If it doesn’t meet the needs you told us about, we’ll put it right. If you simply change your mind, you can use the 7-day cooling-off period.
Ending your plan early
You can end your plan early. There’s a charge, which depends on your plan length, and we’ll tell you the amount before you sign.
When your plan ends
You can carry on month by month, or choose a new plan to get a lower monthly price. Or hand the vehicle back and we’ll collect it.
If your new car arrives
If your Motability car, or a car of your own, arrives before your plan ends, we’ll waive the early-ending charge. We just need proof of delivery.
After a bereavement
If you lose someone you’ve been caring for, please don’t worry about the vehicle. Call us when you feel ready, and we’ll end the plan without any early-ending charge and collect the vehicle at a time that suits you.
Questions people often ask
Can I talk to someone before I decide?
Of course. Call our UK team on 0124 464 6204, Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5:30pm. The quote tool is there if you’d like to look at prices first, but you never have to use it.
Is a subscription the same as a lease?
It’s similar, but simpler. You pay one monthly price that includes insurance, servicing, MOT, tax and breakdown cover, and we collect the vehicle when your plan ends.
What's the difference between renting and subscribing?
Renting suits short trips, from a day upwards. A subscription is for 3 months or more, and costs much less each month.
How quickly can I have a vehicle?
Often within a few days of agreeing your plan, depending on the vehicle.
Where do you deliver?
Across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Do you have adapted cars, for example with hand controls?
Yes. If you’d rather transfer into a car seat than travel in your wheelchair, we also offer adapted cars, such as ones with hand controls. Talk to our team about what you need. The deposit for an adapted car is £400.
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.
