You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and nature experiences.

Reply To: Renting a WAV
Hi! I run tabifolk – glad to have you here!
Yes, you can rent vans with ramps out of the back at various rental places. Be sure to check if it can hold your power wheelchair though as they may be smaller or have a lower roof than expected. Also, some places may not let you rent in one place and return it to another place.
Keep us updated with a success (so others can use them in the future as well), or follow up question! We’re here for you!
