Renowned as the UK’s leading Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) specialists, Brotherwood has further strengthened its commitment to inclusive mobility by expanding its WAV Hire service nationwide. With the addition of new vehicles to their fleet, Brotherwood now offers greater availability and flexibility for wheelchair users seeking high-quality, accessible transport solutions on both a short and long-term basis.

From the luxurious Mercedes-Benz V-Class to the versatile VW Caddy and compact Ford Tourneo Connect, Brotherwood’s WAV Hire fleet is carefully selected to suit a variety of needs, preferences, and budgets. This expansion reflects the company’s ongoing mission to provide dignified, comfortable travel for wheelchair users and their families—wherever life takes them.

Flexible WAV Hire from Just £212 per Week

Designed with flexibility and convenience in mind, Brotherwood’s long-term WAV hire packages start from just £212 per week. Each hire includes nationwide delivery and collection (free for qualifying bookings), comprehensive insurance from only £5 per day, and full breakdown cover—ensuring peace of mind for both clients and their carers.

The quick turnaround and dedicated support offered by Brotherwood make their WAV Hire service ideal for a wide range of situations, including clients undergoing rehabilitation, waiting for delivery of a new vehicle, or simply looking to try before they buy.

With flexible rolling monthly rental plans also available, Brotherwood allows clients to remain mobile for as long as needed, all at one fixed monthly cost.

What’s Included in Every WAV Hire:

  • FREE* Nationwide Delivery & Collection:
    Brotherwood’s specialist team can deliver and collect your vehicle anywhere in the UK. Delivery is free for bookings over 12 weeks (or 24 weeks for the Mercedes-Benz V-Class), making WAV hire more accessible than ever.
  • Breakdown Cover & Insurance:
    All hires include breakdown cover at no extra cost, with comprehensive insurance available from just £5 per day.
  • Expert Advice & Handover:
    On delivery, clients receive a full handover from one of Brotherwood’s experienced team members, ensuring safe and confident operation of the vehicle from day one.
  • FREE First Week:
    Clients who choose to purchase a vehicle after hiring can take advantage of a special “try before you buy” offer, with the first week’s hire cost deducted from the purchase price (excluding delivery and insurance).
