Firstly, it’s useful to familiarise yourself with the terminology commonly used to describe an accessible car. A wheelchair accessible vehicle, or ‘WAV’, is an adapted car specifically designed to allow a passenger to remain in their wheelchair while travelling. These cars often include a ramp on the rear or side of the vehicle to allow for easy access. A multi-purpose vehicle, or MPV, is a large car that offers seating for six or more and can therefore comfortably accommodate most mobility equipment.
