Your plans do not have to wait.

A wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) has been adapted to let a wheelchair user enter using a ramp or lift. In a suitable passenger WAV, you can travel in your wheelchair, secured with the correct wheelchair and occupant restraints. ORA helps you choose a vehicle that fits your wheelchair, passengers and journey.

Where would you like to go?

Be there for the big day

Be there for the big day

A wedding, birthday or family celebration. Plan the journey together, with space for the wheelchair user and the people sharing the occasion. Tell ORA about timings, outfits, bags and other passengers when choosing your vehicle.

Take that holiday together

A seaside break, a countryside escape or a visit to family. Think about luggage, charging equipment and the space you will need once everyone is aboard. Discuss overseas travel and any permissions with ORA before booking.

Make an ordinary day special

Make an ordinary day special

Lunch with friends, a shopping trip or a day out with the grandchildren. Occasional hire can open up plans even when you do not need an accessible vehicle every day.

Keep moving while plans change

Ask about a temporary vehicle while your own is unavailable, or a longer hire when you need more time. Availability, suitability and hire terms are confirmed by ORA.

Family visits and celebrations

Family visits and celebrations

A birthday, reunion or weekend with relatives should be something to look forward to. Ask about a WAV with room for your wheelchair, fellow passengers and the things you need for the visit.

Appointments and regular journeys

Appointments and regular journeys

For a run of appointments or a short period of regular travel, hiring a WAV can help you plan journeys with someone you know. Tell Open Road Access about your wheelchair and travel dates so they can discuss suitable options.

Illustrative rental situations, not customer testimonials. Vehicle availability and suitability are confirmed by Open Road Access.

Which kind of vehicle do you need?

Travel in your wheelchair

Passenger WAVs are designed around wheelchair access. The right choice depends on the chair's dimensions and weight, seated head height, ramp access and the space needed for other passengers. Confirm the exact layout before booking.

Drive an adapted car

If you want to drive yourself, ask about controls suited to your needs, such as hand controls or a left-foot accelerator. ORA must confirm the specific adaptations, driving eligibility and availability.

Transfer to a vehicle seat

An internal-transfer vehicle may suit someone who enters in their wheelchair and then transfers to a vehicle seat. Discuss the transfer arrangement, wheelchair storage and any assistance needed with ORA.

Travel in your wheelchair

Lifestyle scenes are illustrative. Hire vehicle specifications and availability are confirmed by ORA.

Useful answers before you hire

Can I hire a WAV just for a wedding or a day out?

Yes, ORA advertises hire from one day. Tell the team when and where you need it. Ask how delivery and collection fit around your event, and confirm the total price before booking.

Will my wheelchair fit?

Do not choose on vehicle size alone. ORA needs to check your wheelchair dimensions and weight, your seated height, access and restraint compatibility. Include passengers and luggage in that discussion. A scooter fitting in a vehicle does not mean it is suitable to sit on during travel.

Does hire include a driver?

This page is about vehicle hire, not a chauffeur or taxi service. Ask ORA who can drive, what licence and insurance checks apply, and whether your proposed driver is eligible.

How much does WAV rental cost?

Request a personalised quote for your dates, vehicle, delivery location and adaptations. Check the total cost, insurance excess, mileage, fuel, delivery, collection and cancellation terms with ORA before agreeing to hire.

Can I enquire without fixed dates?

Yes. Enter Not sure yet in the dates or duration field and explain what you are considering. Your enquiry is a request for information, not a confirmed booking.
