TRANSPORT FOR THE INDEPENDENT DISABLED TRAVELLER


Explore Australia using our vehicles

Disability Hire Vehicles was established after a trip to the UK to research driving aids for people with a disability.

Whilst in the UK I was surprised to see the availability of rental cars specifically for people with a disability.

On return to Sydney I repeatedly said

'someone should start a specialty rental company for people with a disability'

Eventually I became that ‘someone’ - Ken Ferris Manager Disability Hire Vehicles
