Customer Reviews
“Wheelers really helped us out in a bind. We had rented through another company and the morning of our trip said they did not have a van for us as we were coming into town to see family. Called around and managed to get a hold of Heather over at Wheelers. She let us know they had a van available last minute! Worked with us to get it delivered upon landing and even sweet enough to pick it up from the house as we were staying long term! Definitely grateful and will without a doubt absolutely be renting from them again!!!”
“We recently had a van delivered to Scottsdale directly to our home there. We called on 4/6/2019 for a rental needed the same day and needing it to be delivered because of mobility issues with my husband being an amputee. The owner Ron was already on a delivery to Tucson and unable to bring to us as we requested and NEEDED. We spoke with a very kind, and informative CSA and she told us rest assured she would make this delivery and rental happen for us EVEN if she had to send her husband to deliver it to us. Well the woman’s husband showed up at our home to deliver the van to us with ALL 3 of his kids in the van (talk about multi tasking), his name was Robert. Robert went over the vehicle with myself and my wife and did the check out with us, he also showed us how to properly pull the manual ramp out and access the inside with my scooter. I am a disabled vet amputee and they also gave me a 10% Veteran discount because of this. Wonderful Company, Wonderful People, Hands down the best experience I have had with getting a vehicle of any type for my transport needs and I have a picture with Robert and his wife to prove it! Thank you again Wheeler’s and know I will be back!”

We understand that circumstances are beyond your control, and we strive to be fair. However, these policies are in place to ensure that the next renter is not inconvenienced.
The return time is based on the renter’s request as specified in the contract. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you need clarification on any charges. For your records, we recommend taking photos of the vehicle upon pick up. If you’ve taken photos, text them to our reservation center at 623-776-8830. We value your feedback, so please contact our team if you feel we unfairly added fees to your rental.
What if pickup/drop-off times or rates change last-minute?
We understand that sometimes plans change unexpectedly. While we try to adhere to the agreed-upon schedule and rates, unforeseen circumstances may require adjustments.
If you need to make last-minute changes to your pickup/drop-off times or rates, please contact our customer service team immediately. We will work with you to find a solution that best meets your needs.

Can you remove the front passenger seat?
No, our vehicles are kept in their standard configuration for safety and compliance, and this option is not available at all locations. If you have specific accessibility needs, our team is happy to help you explore the best available options.
Do your van rentals come with hand controls?
We truly understand how important hand controls can be for safe and comfortable driving. While we don’t currently offer hand controls due to our contactless rental model, which limits our ability to install and remove specialized equipment, we’re still here to support you. We are more than happy to point you toward a trusted company that specializes in hand control installation or help guide you to alternative options that may better meet your individual needs.
Does Wheelers require a security deposit?
Yes, Wheelers requires a security deposit, which is authorized 24 – 48 hours prior to the rental. This authorization is used for incidentals such as damage, returning the vehicle dirty, accidents, or missing equipment. If any policies are not followed, the authorization amount will be captured.
Do you have roadside assistance if needed when I rent?
Absolutely. Your safety and peace of mind are important to us. We offer 24/7 roadside assistance, 365 days a year, so help is always just a call away. A knowledgeable team member is always on call, and we immediately coordinate with trusted local service providers to support you and get you back on the road as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Will a lot attendant be there to show me how to use the van and equipment?
Our rentals are completely contactless, so there isn’t a lot attendant on site. To make it easy and convenient for the disability community to rent and get on the road, we provide detailed instructional videos to guide you through using the van and its equipment. Plus, our experienced customer service team is always available to answer any questions or address any concerns.
Why are your rentals contactless instead of in person?
We designed our contactless model over 40 years to make renting quick, easy, and convenient for the disability community. We understand that waiting in long lines for pick-up or drop-off can be challenging, so our process is built to get you on the road as fast and smoothly as possible.
What are the instructions for how to rent a van?
It’s simple! You can start your reservation online, call us at 800-456-1371 or 623-462-9488, or email Reservations@wheelersavr.com. Because everyone’s mobility and travel needs are unique, reservations aren’t confirmed until you speak with a live agent, ensuring you get the best van for
your needs.
Will my wheelchair or scooter fit?
All of our vans are ADA-compliant, but that doesn’t mean every wheelchair or scooter will fit perfectly. We understand that electric and manual wheelchairs and scooters come in many sizes, weights, modifications, and we cannot access your personal mobility equipment. We respect and honor the diverse needs of the disability community and provide videos, brochures upon request, and some guidance so you can make the best decision for your individual mobility needs.
Are there any special driving requirement for accessible vans?
No special license is needed beyond your standard driver’s license. Our vans handle like regular vehicles, but we encourage first-time drivers to review our instructional materials and familiarize themselves with the van before driving.
What are your hours of operation?
Our reservation center is open Monday–Friday, 8 AM–6 PM, and Saturday, 8 AM–6 PM. We are closed on Sundays and major holidays. Van pick-ups and drop-offs outside these hours are available by request. If you need an after-hours pick-up or drop-off, we’re happy to accommodate you—we place staff on standby to ensure your needs are met. An after-hours service fee applies to ensure our team is fairly compensated for providing this convenience.
