Our Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Buyer’s Guide can answer some of your questions about WAVs.
Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs) are permanently adapted cars which enable people with disabilities to travel in, or with, their wheelchair. WAVs typically feature access ramps, lowered floors to increase internal space, and safety-tested wheelchair restraint systems.
People with limited mobility, those unable to transfer into a standard car passenger seat, as well as their families, friends or carers, can all benefit from a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle.
WHAT IS A WAV?When choosing a new Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV), it is critical to assess how much interior space you require to enable the wheelchair user to travel comfortably, with good visibility out of the windows and without feeling cramped. You’ll also need to consider the overall size of the vehicle for easy driving and parking, and ensure you have enough storage space for any equipment you might travel with.
WAV Size GuideA WAV is no different to insure than a standard vehicle, however you will need to inform your insurer that it has been converted to transport a wheelchair user, as you will need to cover the vehicle for the full replacement value.
WAV InsuranceThere are multiple affordable and flexible funding options for Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles, so consider which works best for your budget. New vehicles can be purchased privately or leased through the Motability Scheme, while used vehicles can be purchased privately or hired over a flexible period.
WAV FINANCEWheelchair Accessible Vehicles are usually exempt of VAT if they have been permanently adapted, and are being purchased by a private individual for the benefit of a disabled person. However, you can only claim this exemption once every 3 years, and the rules are different for business or charity purchases.
WAV VAT EXEMPTIONPeople who receive the higher rate of the Mobility Component or Disability Living Allowance (DLA), or Personal Independence Payment (PIP) are entitled to apply for a free road fund licence.
WAV ROAD TAXWAVs can be serviced at a regular garage or dealership, however this does not include aspects of the conversion, such as ramp and restraint systems. Brotherwood have a nationwide team of mobile service engineers, who can visit you at home to carry out Annual WAV Checks and conversion servicing.

A friendly advisor will bring the vehicle to you, explain the vehicle’s features, and demonstrate the wheelchair loading procedure. You can also discuss any further adaptations you may need.
Your consultant will help you to order your new Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle. You’ll get regular updates during your vehicle build until delivery. We can even help you get insurance for your accessible vehicle.
