Top Adapted Vehicles: Choosing the Best Option for Mobility Needs

At Wheelaway, we have been hiring out adapted vehicles for wheelchair transport to individuals and businesses within the community, for over 10 years. We have worked with thousands of individuals and many major organisations such as; the F1, Motogp, Metro Trains, Yarra Trams, Spring Racing Carnival and the Australian Open. Over this time, we have gained an extensive understanding of adapted vehicles and have purchased what is now a fleet of over 30 vehicles, with 4 types of vehicles, including; a 2nd row Kia Carnival, a 3rd row Kia Carnival, a Toyota Commuter and a Tarago.
