Medical Transportation
Wheelchair Getaways provides wheelchair/scooter accessible vans that are perfect for medical appointments.
Why rent a wheelchair/scooter accessible van for transportation to and from medical appointments?
-
Using a wheelchair/scooter accessible van makes transferring unnecessary. Dangerous transfers account for over 200 life-threatening accidents per year.
-
In an accessible van, stowing the mobility device is not necessary. Many wheelchairs or scooters are very heavy making stowing them a dangerous hassle.
-
A rental van is available to the wheelchair user any time that transportation is needed. Schedule changes and last minute appointments are no problem with a Wheelchair Getaways van.
-
When using a rental van, the wheelchair user can go directly to the medical appointment without addition stops for other passengers reducing inconvenience and wasted time.
-
The wheelchair user can also travel with family members or caregivers assuring proper care during the trip.
-
Depending on the distance to the appointment and the number of appointments needed, Wheelchair Getaways can be the cost effective transportation solution.
-
When comparing a rental van with non-emergency medical transportation, as few as 7 medical visits a month can be the cost equivalent of a monthly van rental.
-
In many cases, a family may be considering a wheelchair/scooter van purchase for medical appointments. Wheelchair Getaways can provide a rental vehicle, so that the family can try a wheelchair van before buying to assure that it meets their needs.
-
Renting an interim vehicle after hospital discharge and before vehicle purchase can provide an immediate transportations solution for medical appointments that can speed the healing process.
