Wheelchair Limo Availability

It can be easy to forget in your excitement to hire the latest and greatest limousine that there are equality and safety regulations which limousine hire companies and their fleets need to take special note of. For example where can you find a wheelchair accessible limousine? At Cheap Limo Hire we can search the UK to find you the limousine you want, with the access you need, but not all limo hire companies have such inclusive fleets.

While some limousines have wider doors for better access, this feature was originally implemented to allow unobstructed entrance and exit for brides with oversized gowns. Also, here in the UK, the manufacturers of the London Cab limousine modified their vehicles to be wheelchair accessible and even built models which were exported to America to provide luxury and convenience for those in a wheelchair.

However, the UK is the first to purpose build a limousine which is wheelchair accessible and it has been built from a sleek black van which has a specialised ramp, room for two wheelchairs and seven seated passengers. The purpose built wheelchair accessible limousine is also a stylish and luxurious alternative to a mini bus or special access taxi and this makes it a positive option for funerals or even weddings where transport is needed for people in wheelchairs.

Unfortunately since limousine hire is a luxury extra and a special indulgence rather than a necessary transport service, it is not regulated by the need to be wheelchair accessible. However, with around 27 million people in the UK affected by a disability, limo hire companies are missing out on a lot of business by not having access to accessible limousines.

However, while people looking for a wheelchair accessible limousine may think they have to do a lot of ringing around to find an understanding and accessible limo hire company, Cheap Limo Hire can do all of the necessary research for you and find you a wheelchair friendly limo hire company in your area.
