The specially adapted cars are delivered across the country and are fitted with hand controls, flip style left foot accelerators, wheelchair top boxes, infra red controls, steering balls, wheelchair boot hoists, extended pedals and many more bespoke adjustments. In addition, wheelchair accessible vans can have a lowered floor, a high roof or a combination of both, fitted with manual ramps or electric lifts for safe entry and exit to the vehicle.

Ken McCall, managing director of Europcar UK, said: ‘We’re delighted to be working with AVH and hope that the partnership will enable those who may have specific needs or a disability, to carry on driving and retain their independence. Being the largest supplier of adapted cars and wheelchair accessible vehicles in the UK means that AVH will also be able to deliver first-class customer service to our customers.’
