VroomVroomVroom helps you find wheelchair-accessible rental vehicles in selected locations in Australia when you search with our price comparison tool.
For those who are looking for a rental car which allows wheelchair access, VroomVroomVroom can help. Our car rental partners Hertz, Sixt, and Thrifty offer rental vehicles that allow wheelchair access, and you can find them in selected locations. To find an appropriate vehicle, when searching on VroomVroomVroom select “Special” in the “Car type” dropdown and if vehicles allowing access to wheelchairs are available they will be displayed and labelled as such.
Vehicles with wheelchair access are available in selected locations in Australia, but supply — both of vehicles and locations — is limited. Because of this we recommend booking your hire car well in advance.
