Final Suggestions for Renting a Wheelchair Accessible Van in Canada
Here are some last minute suggestions that you may have not thought of. The most important is to always plan ahead and be prepared.
Plan Far Ahead
Accessible vehicles are in high demand And there are only a limited amount of vehicles available. Start searching and booking as early as possible.
Call to Verify
Always phone the provider to confirm vehicle specs (ramp type, hand controls), availability, insurance requirements, and pickup details.
Ask for Referrals
When contacting disability organizations or government offices, ask if they have a list of recommended or approved WAV rental vendors.
Consider Your Trip Purpose
For multi-day trips, a rental from a dedicated company may be best. For single trips in a city, Uber WAV or an accessible taxi could be more practical and cost-effective.
