Reasons To Consider A Wheelchair-Accessible Rental Van For Your Family Reunion
If you're going to a family reunion and it's been years since you've seen everyone, then it's wise to consider renting a wheelchair-accessible van, even if you already have a vehicle for the event to use. Here are some reasons why.
A wheelchair-accessible rental van has more space
Some of your family members may be differently abled and may need additional space in a vehicle for transport to and from the family reunion location. Keep in mind that a wheelchair-accessible van not only has the space for a wheelchair to rest and be buckled in for safety, it also has a ramp that can be tucked into the vehicle when not in use. This ramp can be used by those who have issues with walking but don't yet need a wheelchair and for making those who do use a wheelchair more comfortable.
You can rent a wheelchair-accessible van that has a manual wheelchair lift or one that has an automatic electric one. Your budget and availability of vans with these features will determine which one is best for your needs.
You make your family reunion more inclusive for everyone
If you're having a larger family reunion where many people need to be accommodated, it's wise to consider investing in a wheelchair-accessible rental van, just in case. You can rent this type of vehicle for just a few hours to get guests to and from the reunion so those who would have otherwise been unable to make the event due to their wheelchair use can be included. You can share the costs of renting a wheelchair-accessible van with all the families attending the event if rental prices are an issue.
You make your family reunion safer
If a single person in your family reunion party uses and is bringing a wheelchair to the event but does not have transportation to do so, the best thing to do is to rent a wheelchair-accessible van to make the event go more smoothly and ensure safety remains a priority. Using proper transportation for someone who uses a wheelchair allows people and wheelchairs to be safe and travel in comfort, whether usage is for a few miles or for longer distances.
Your local travel agent can help you find a wheelchair-accessible rental van for your needs. Choose a budget and discuss the dates you need this transportation for for best results. The sooner you book your wheelchair-accessible rental van, the more likely you'll be able to find one within the time frame you need it.
