Wheelchair accessible vehicles.

BrassicWoman

My disabled parents live a long way away. They won't move, I can't move. I've used loads of holiday making sure the house is ok for them. I am pretty much out of days.

I'm trying to sort out a wheelchair accessible vehicle for them, but I cannot find anyone who will come out and do a demo on the weekend. And without the vehicle they cannot get to a dealership.

Close to tears; why is it so bloody difficult?

Sorry. Just wanted a vent.

I've no personal experience of them but try searching for Allied Mobility. I belong to an organisation called Disabled Motoring and Allied Mobility advertise in the magazine. Hope this helps.

One other thing just occurred to me - are there any chair accessible taxis available nearby? I see a few around where I live.

Allied Mobility will only do Mon - Fri

Taxi is a good idea though, to give it a go...

Just a thought, but do you HAVE to be there for the first viewing? ie get Allied out to them, if they want your input you can do a bit of research online etc.

This company say that they may be able to offer viewings outside their normal times:

And these are open at weekends:

There may be more. I googled 'wheelchair accessible vehicles viewing at weekends', but if you play around with the wording, there could be others.
