If you’re wondering whether a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle will suit your needs, it’s worth considering how they differ from a standard car.

Though you’ll be seated in your wheelchair, it won’t be fixed the floor in the same way as a car seat so there will be some slight movement and your eyeline will probably be different. Seating arrangements differ in that the converter will usually remove some of the standard seats. Obviously, the layout of a wheelchair accessible vehicle depends on its size, which will inform your choice when deciding on a make and model.

In terms of size, Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles are usually bigger than a standard car so you need to factor this in when thinking about your usual parking spot, as well as how the ramp or lift with rear or side access will affect the space you have available – and check the headroom for your usual carpark. Most Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles have their floors lowered to increase headroom, so again, it’s worth checking the ground clearance on your usual routes.

Inevitably, a Wheelchair Accessible vehicle offers a different driving experience than your usual vehicle which may take some getting used to. Comfort and confidence are key, and as your converter will have a wealth of experience, it’s always worth making the most of their help to get the ideal Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle for you.
