Wheelchair Getaways
Wheelchair Getaways provides rental of accessible vans to wheelchair/scooter users and their families.
Wheelchair Getaways has developed a comprehensive program for renting specially converted vans to wheelchair/scooter users by the day, week or longer. In addition to renting to individuals, Wheelchair Getaways provides a system for marketing to:
· Retirement Centers
· County and State Agencies
· Local, State and National Organizations
· Nursing Homes, Hospitals, Clinics and Rehabilitation Centers
· Churches, Travel Agencies and Schools
· Insurance Replacement Markets
Wheelchair Getaways’ fleet vehicles are upfitted with a ramp or lift and have accessories to make travel convenient and comfortable for customers. Some vans are equipped as driver units with hand controls and power transfer seats.
Although Wheelchair Getaways’ primary business is accessible van rentals, franchisees have the option of selling the converted vans or entering other businesses that will compliment van rental.
A Wheelchair Getaways franchise is a turn-key operation. The system is based on years of successful experience in the accessible van rental business. However, this franchise concept allows new opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship.

I have been trying for a week to contact anyone that has a van that i can rent in Kona Hawaii so i can take my husbands electric scooter with us on vacation over Thanksgiving this year. I have been planning this trip as a 24th wedding anniversary surprise trip for my stroke surviving husband. The stroke put him in a wheelchair but he is a fighter and still alive in spirit. Renting a van in Kona shouldn’t be this hard. I have made over a dozen calls to various numbers and have been pointed by more than three of these locations to WHEELCHAIR GET AWAY as my only option. I have left three messages at Wheelchair get away but have never spoken to a person. My concern about not being able to accomodate my husbands needs is mounting to almost alarming. This is our first time to Hawaii and the intention was to allow both of us to have a fun and find some relaxation. The stroke has been tough on both of us and we NEED this time. Can anyone help me find a relatively inexpensive van to rent to accomodate this electric scooter? I can’t lift it like i do his non motorized wheelchair, and i don’t want to spend my whole vacation lifing his wheelchair in and out of a rental car. Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you,
