Customer Reviews

“Oh my goodness, I can’t say enough wonderful things about this company. What a great idea, renting wheelchair vans! They made our trip to Disney World such a great experience. The van was practically brand new. It operated so easily. I had never operated a wheelchair van before and their helpful videos showed me exactly what to do. I would recommend this company to anyone who has a family member in a wheelchair.”

-Mandy Morgan

“The van was at the airport waiting for my arrival. It was clean and although it had a manual ramp and a manual door, to my surprise, I was still able to operate it very easily. Loved the people on the phone too. Very professional and helpful.”

-Neal Harrison
