After a long, or even a short flight, waiting for buses or trains to continue your journey can be trying and time-consuming for everyone. Even more so for a wheelchair user for whom negotiating the long and sometimes complicated routes to the appropriate station, especially with so many people around, can be tricky and tiring
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to know that after landing there is a wheelchair accessible vehicle waiting to take you on the next leg of your trip in comfort and safety? Well, if you are flying into any UK airport on a national or international flight you will be pleased to learn that wheelchair accessible vehicles are available for hire.

Most companies offer different sizes of vehicles including medium and larger sized vehicles, as well as minibuses where one or more wheelchair user can ride as passengers along with other people and luggage. For those that don’t require a ramp or lift there are adapted cars available to hire too, adapted with left foot throttles or hand controls that can be ready and waiting for you to hop in and drive home, or off on an adventure.
Be sure to book in advance, to specify the type of vehicle that you require, and to check out what is included in the different quotes you are offered. You can request a quote with your requirements directly from The Accessible Planet. If you are going to drive verify if your own vehicle insurance will cover you for a hire car or ask the provider to sort out the paperwork for you before pick-up. Just as with any car rental, you can hire for the days you require and the car can be returned to the same pick-up-point or to another. There is also the option of a collection or delivery service for an additional charge.
So, next time you fly, take the hassle out of getting to and from the airport by booking a wheelchair accessible vehicle for hire, and enjoy the ride.
