Describe practical requirements
Explain whether the traveller can transfer into a standard seat and whether the wheelchair folds. Share equipment dimensions, weight and battery type as relevant. Practical vehicle requirements usually do not require sharing a medical history.
Remaining in a wheelchair
Travellers who remain seated in a wheelchair need a suitable adapted vehicle, ramp or lift and securement. A standard van or VIP SUV is not automatically accessible. Request specialist availability and a written specification before accepting a quote.
Coordinate airport assistance
Arrange terminal passenger assistance through the airline or airport separately. Terminal help does not confirm an accessible road vehicle, and a car booking does not promise airside assistance. Agree the handover point before travel.
Check the hotel entrance
Ask the property about steps, ramps and the accessible entrance. Confirm the vehicle can reach the agreed arrival point. A hotel directory entry does not certify accessibility for every room or guest need.
