Access Aids: Facilitate getting in and out of the vehicle.
Secure Storage: Assist in storing your wheelchair or scooter.

These adaptations are designed to enhance your driving or travelling experience. To determine what you need, consider what aspects of your current car experience you find challenging.

with over 70 years of experience, we have encountered a wide range of problems and are confident that we can provide adaptations to make your journeys more comfortable and easier.

Find the Right Car and Adaptations for Your Needs

Choosing the right car can solve many issues, making your driving experience more comfortable and convenient. Features like an automatic gearbox, push-button ignition, parking sensors, and boots with flat entry can make a significant difference. Our Adaptation Assessors can recommend car models that suit your needs.

However, if you require additional help with driving, accessing your car, or stowing your wheelchair, adaptations could be the solution.

If you believe an adaptation would help but are unsure exactly what you need, our expert Adaptation Assessors can provide tailored advice for your individual situation.
