New Mobility Vehicle Hire Service
Published 08 April 2009, Posted in Northland / 2 Comments
John Callaghan has been in the vehicle rental business for a number of years. A few years ago he had a major car accident, which left him a tetraplegic.
John says he came to realize that there was a need for a good mobility van hire business to service all wheelchair users to help with their transportation needs.
Renting a wheelchair accessible van will ensure that wheelchair users and their families have the transportation that they need say John.
If they are using wheelchair taxis and other forms of transport all the time to access Doctors…hospital visits…clinics…sports…family outings work.. .appointments.. shopping…holidays or visiting friends, wheelchair hire vans may be a more accessible and cost effective alternative.
Our commitment to you, our customers, is to provide a wheelchair accessible van rental on a daily, weekly, monthly and long term basis.
Delivery and pick-up is available in most North Island cities and airports…
Our vans have:
- Wheelchair Lift
- Raised Roof
- Capacity for 1 or 2 Wheelchairs/scooters
- Front and rear air conditioning
- Power steering, windows, locks
- 4-Point tie downs with seat belts
- 2 - 5 seaters

Hello John,
I am a Security Guard researching a very prevalent on-site problem and solution to same.
What I want to know is subsequently not disability related, but in the interests of preventing further cases; and in the likely event you have some knowledge to cross-share, what I want to know is:-
Whether you have anything or knowledge to do with wc facilities in vehicles ie. mobile convenience:
and if so, vehicles ie. vans, possibly ex-rentals that would suffice. ie. low set up cost, for prototype, trial…
Have plenty of sales fodder, contacts to clear it from, linked associations including Human Rights, and obviously a client base.
Your thoughts would be appreciated, thanks, Rose.
ps. the common and most obvious alternatives are not always available, and resistance greater than one would humanly imagine.
timely comment Rose as i’ve had two enquiries this week regards w.c. and changing facilities for people with impairments especially older people i.e. those who have outgrown the standard kids’ change tables provided in some WC’s around Whangarei. what you suggest is a much needed requirement right now as i dont envisage all providers out there (either businesses/WDC) upgrading their facilites immediately…i’m keen to read the response/feedback you get here.

Minnie’s presentation on Be Accessibe was truly inspiring. disappointing to see those most in need of ‘enlightenment’ were absent….a great build up for the RWC and way beyond so up to those who did attend to be vocal! and spread the Be word!
