Mobility is one of the most important things in daily life. Whether it's a simple trip to the shops or going outside for a walk; being able to move is something that people take for granted. For many wheelchair users it can be quite a struggle getting around. Some places are more challenging than others and it can be quite frustrating having to rely on other people to help you get around.

Wheelchair Accessible vehicles (WAVS) were created to help wheelchair users get around more easily. These vehicles are adapted in a way which is comfortable and convenient for wheelchair users so they can be driven around without any hassle. There are many benefits to owning a WAV and here are my top 3 reasons why they're great for disabled users.

WAVs are becoming more affordable
A WAV is a great addition to help make a wheelchair user feel much more independent. The number of types of WAVs has increased over the years, which has helped to bring down the price of them. The government also has a specialist vehicle plan in place so that wheelchair user can obtain a WAV at a discounted price or at least without VAT. You can also hire out WAVs; a benefit of doing this instead of buying one is so you don't have to worry about the maintenance costs which are normally associated with servicing vehicles.

WAVs can be made to match WC user's needs
Whichever company you decide to buy your WAV from, all WC access vehicles are adapted in a way which allows wheelchair users the comfort and ease of access they need when being driven around. From automatic raising/lowering ramps to four-point wheelchair securing devices it is now possible to transport a WC user easily without putting stress on anyone. They are also adapted in a way that the wheelchair users can face towards the full view mirror which helps tackle common problems such as motion sickness.

Enjoy your personal freedom
One of the biggest advantages of using a wheelchair accessible vehicle is the amount of freedom they offer. They can help to improve the daily life of people in wheelchairs who feel like they're trapped at home. Family or friends can use them without worrying about how they're going to transport wheelchair users around which puts a lot less stress on everyone which makes it much more pleasant when going for outings.
