Up to five passengers
This type of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle can carry up to five people, including the driver and wheelchair user. They all have at least one passenger seat in the back.

Ramp access
All small Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles have a manual ramp. A ramp makes it easier to get your wheelchair into your Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle. Manual ramps need someone to bend and lift them, so make sure your driver or carer tries this at the demonstration. Talk to your Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle supplier about the ramp to make sure you’re happy with how it works before you order.
Rear entry

Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles with rear entry tend to be better for tall people and large or heavy wheelchairs.

Up to six passengers
This type of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle can carry up to six people, including the driver and wheelchair user. The wheelchair user can sit at the back or between two single rear seats. They have more space for seats and equipment than a small Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle. Think about who you might want to travel with, now or in the future, and how much storage space you’ll need.

Entry Point

Rear entry
This is a popular choice because it lets you be a passenger and sit with other passengers. It can be easier to park Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles with rear entry in large car parks, as you’ll likely have more access space. They can be tricky to park on city streets, as you’ll need to think about the space behind the Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle when you’re parking.
Side entry
You'll have some storage space in the back with these. Think about space next to the Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle when you park, so you can access the pavement.

Access Type

Ramp access
You can choose to access your Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle from the rear or the side with a built-in manual or automatic ramp. Manual ramps need someone to bend and lift them, so make sure your driver or carer tries this at your vehicle demonstration, before you order.
Lift access
Some large Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles have a lift instead of a ramp. This means as long as you can secure your wheelchair in the vehicle yourself, you can get in and out by yourself, without help, and even drive it alone. They cost more and add extra weight to your Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle.
