Let’s explore the world of WAVs together.
What is a WAV, anyway?
A wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) is a vehicle specially adapted so wheelchair users can travel comfortably and safely, either as a passenger or driver. Think of a regular car or van with clever modifi cations – ramps, lifts, or even redesigned interiors – making it easy to get in and out and enjoy the ride. WAVs are all about independence, and they come in various shapes and sizes to suit everyone.

What types of WAV conversions are available?
Understanding the different types of conversions available is key to making the right choice.
• Rear-entry conversions are the most common type and feature a ramp or chairlift for easy access. These are versatile and accommodate various wheelchair sizes. Lowered rear floor WAVs provide extra comfort and a more spacious interior.
• Drive-from-wheelchair conversions are ideal for independent drivers. WAVs are specially adapted with modifications to steering, pedals, and seating, eliminating the need to transfer from your wheelchair to drive.
• Transfer WAVs are designed for people who can transfer, often featuring swivel seats.
• Up-front passenger WAVs allow the wheelchair user to sit beside the driver, making long journeys more sociable.
• Side-entry WAVs, while less common, provide access via a side ramp or lift. These are useful for retaining rear seats or boot space for other passengers or luggage.
• Bespoke, including complex adaptations, are available to meet highly specific needs, though these can be more expensive.
