Wheelchair-accessible vehicles, or WAVs as they are also known, can be a great help to disabled people who want to get from A to B. These vehicles make it easy for people to switch from a wheelchair to a seat in a vehicle. They can be a great help to many drivers and passengers who are disabled. Here are some tips to help you find the right mobility vehicle.
1. When choosing wheelchair-accessible vehicles, it is crucial that you follow height and space restrictions. You will need a car that is tall enough to accommodate your wheelchair and the person who uses it. This may be because they do not want to transfer into a seat. The size of the car is important. Find out if there is enough space behind the vehicle to allow you to access it with a ramp or lift. Also, check if the ramp can be extended fully without causing too much inconvenience for the driver and the passengers.
2. It’s important to feel comfortable in your WAV vehicle. It would be best if you considered how frequently you plan to use the car and whether or not you need an automatic transmission. Choose a vehicle with air conditioning and heating if you need them.
3. You should also consider the size of the wheelchair you use. This will determine the type of WAV that is best for your car. Consider the size of the wheelchair you need and the amount of space available in the car. You might find that used wheelchair-accessible vehicles offer more space at a lower price.
Wheelchair-accessible cars can range from PS12,000 to PS45,000, depending on their size and type. Choose a WAV to suit your lifestyle and budget. It should also have enough features and space for your wheelchair.
