Customer Reviews
“Finding accessible vehicles for rental is not an easy task,and also at a reasonable price makes it all the more difficult. But I cannot recommend this company, highly enough. The SUV was roomy enough for a large power chair,it was in good condition, extremely easy to drive. We had enough room for us and all our luggage. The Ricon restraint system for the chair was easy to use. We had a generous 2000 miles for our two week rental, and we managed to visit a large area of California on our roadtrip.”
“They made my friend’s birthday trip to SeaWorld a complete success. The van was safe and comfortable and had all of the necessary equipment to properly secure her chair while traveling and the ramp was perfect.”

Can you clarify fees, like late or cleaning fees?
At Wheelers Accessible Van Rentals, we aim to be transparent about all fees associated with our rentals. Late and cleaning fees are only applied when necessary, such as when a vehicle is returned significantly overdue or filthy. 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.
Our team may need to make adjustments as well. We will prioritize communication with you in the event of last-minute changes, and you will not experience late fees.
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.
Can I cancel or modify my reservation?

Local Pick-Up:

About Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles is a massive tourist hotspot. There are a ton of things to do, and it’s full of major attractions, museums, and other entertainment venues that have wheelchair accessibility in mind.
LA is world-renowned thanks to being the most iconic city for big-screen entertainment–Hollywood movie productions and A-list celebrities alike.
You’ll also find the best amusement parks nearby, including Disneyland, Universal Studios, Knott’s Berry Farm, and Six Flags Magic Mountain.
But Los Angeles isn’t just about movie stars and theme parks. The list of amazing restaurants, live shows, outdoor activities, and ample shopping is nearly endless!
Below, we dive into helpful information for those visiting Los Angeles, with an emphasis on wheelchair users.
Important Information Before Visiting Los Angeles
As with any new city you plan to visit, there are a few considerations to keep in mind–namely, weather, accommodations, and transportation.
The weather in Los Angeles is considered sunny and mild. Perfect for outdoor activities year-round. Keep in mind that while summers are dry, winters are known to be the rainy season.
You’re not limited to the number of lodging options in LA. The city has something for everyone. While just about every major hotel is designed for wheelchair accessibility, there are many older establishments that may not be as friendly as newer-constructed buildings.
When it comes to transportation, Los Angeles accommodates individuals who use wheelchairs. You’ll find obliging public buses and metro lines, rideshare and taxi services, and specialized transportation like wheelchair-accessible van rentals.
Food
Foodies rejoice… Los Angeles is where it’s at! The incredible variety of dining options that span every cuisine you can possibly imagine makes Los Angeles a true food lover’s paradise.
Let’s dive into a few fan favorites.
First up is Bestia. Located in the trendy Arts District of LA, this restaurant prepares inventive Italian dishes and house-made charcuterie. Keep in mind that some menu items are seasonal, and you’ll want to call in advance for a reservation.
Another popular tourist dining destination is Guelaguetza. This Koreatown neighborhood restaurant serves fine Mexican cuisine inspired by the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. Try their tlayudas (aka Oaxacan pizza), chapulines (roasted and seasoned grasshoppers), or the Oaxacan tamales!
The Grand Central Market is in the downtown area and is a culinary hub that features dozens of different vendors on any given day. This is the perfect destination for groups who can’t decide on what they want to eat.
Hotels
As mentioned, there’s no shortage of centrally-located hotels in Los Angeles. Lodging options range from budget-conscious motels to extravagant luxury resorts.
For a luxurious stay, check out The Beverly Hilton. This historic hotel, often visited by Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor shortly after opening in 1955, is a four out of five in regard to cost, but it’s a five-star stay for those lucky enough to book a room.
Next up is the more affordable but equally as welcoming Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza. Featuring spacious rooms, sweeping city views, and close proximity to downtown museums, theaters, and restaurants, staying at this hotel will definitely be a highlight of your trip.
Additionally, priced around the same as the Omni and also located downtown, The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites is recognized for its distinct architectural design (futuristic look) and revolving cocktail lounge with panoramic views of the city.
Tourist Destinations
Where do we start? There are so many fun things to do in Los Angeles. You’re never left in limbo. Here are some of our favorite places to see.
The Griffith Observatory, perched on top of the southern slope of Mount Hollywood, is just a couple of miles from the legendary Hollywood Sign. This destination can get crowded; however, it has accessible ramps, elevators, and viewing areas for all visitors.
Known for its impressive art collection, The Getty Center, located on the west side of LA in the Brentwood neighborhood, is another popular tourist spot. If you have an appreciation for European paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts, you’ll enjoy your time here.
You can’t go to Los Angeles without seeing the ocean, right? With this mindset, head on over to Santa Monica Pier and Beach Path. The boardwalk is accessible, plus there are tons of nearby attractions, entertainment venues, and restaurants to make a day of it.
Weather
The weather in Southern California is one of the main attractions for both visitors and residents. While the summer months get a bit toasty, with temps reaching the mid-90s on the hottest days, evenings are much more enjoyable at the low-70s.
Fall and spring bring highs in the 70s with cooler evenings, but not too cold–making nighttime exploration and activities ideal.
Although winters are generally mild, you should pack a light jacket as a second layer of clothing when the temperature dips into the 50s.
