Melbourne's Trusted Wheelchair Van Hire
Run By Family
For over 15 years, Wheelaway has provided reliable wheelchair van hire and wheelchair accessible vehicle hire across Victoria. We’re a family-owned and operated business, and several of our own family members and staff live with disability themselves — so we understand exactly what matters when you’re hiring an accessible vehicle, because we’ve lived it too.
Our fleet includes Toyota Hiace Commuters, Kia Carnival second and third-row conversions, and a high-roof Mercedes Sprinter, giving us the flexibility to suit a wide range of accessibility needs. We support families, insurance companies, NDIS participants, hospitals and government departments, and proudly provide accessible transport at major events including the Australian Grand Prix, MotoGP, World Superbikes and the Flemington Spring Carnival.

Family Owned & Operated
Melbourne's Family-Run Wheelchair Van Hire
Wheelaway isn’t a call centre or a franchise. We’re a family-run wheelchair accessible vehicle hire business, and several of our own family members and staff live with disability themselves. That means when you call us about a wheelchair van hire, you’re speaking with someone who genuinely understands what you need — not just someone reading from a script.

What our Passengers & Their Families Say
Real reviews from real wheelchair van hire and accessible vehicle hire customers
"Thank you Wheelaway!! The Van was so easy to drive. It was nice to have that freedom for the last 2 weeks to take my Mum (who is bedridden) out and about in her power wheelchair and enjoy the holidays with family and not having to worry about calling a Maxi Cab."
"I would definitely recommend Wheelaway Hire Vehicles! They were very accommodating, and paid taxi fares for us to get home when their van broke down! Thanks Wheelaway, much appreciated 😃"
"Excellent service, vehicle and ease of use. Would recommend them over wheelchair accessible taxis anyday."
"Thank you, the car was brilliant! Allowed us to get our 101 year old grandmother to her son-in-law's memorial service and wake without having to rely on maxi cabs. So glad we found your business!"
