What is a WAV?

A Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle or WAV is a standard car or van that has been modified to:

  • Provide easy access for wheelchair users.
  • Ensure secure and safe travelling.
  • Offer convenience for passengers and drivers alike.

The size, shape, and layout of a WAV vary based on the original vehicle used for conversion, making it easy to find a model that suits your needs.
