Short version:accessible vans and hand controls exist but are limited and arranged ahead — tell us the city, dates and exact need and we’ll confirm what can be sourced.

What’s available

Depending on the location, options can include wheelchair-accessible vans with ramps or lifts and cars fitted with hand controls. Availability is genuinely limited and varies a lot by city, so these are arranged rather than picked off a shelf.

Give us notice

Because the stock is small, accessible vehicles usually need to be requested in advance — more notice means a better chance of the exact configuration you need. Tell us the city, dates and the specific adaptation required and we’ll check what can be sourced.

What to confirm

Ramp versus lift, the door and interior dimensions, transfer needs, and whether hand controls are left- or right-fitted. We’ll confirm the details with the branch so the vehicle that arrives is the one that works for you.
