Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs) are permanently adapted cars which enable people with disabilities to travel in their wheelchair. WAVs typically feature access ramps, lowered floors to increase internal space, and safety-tested wheelchair restraint systems.
People with less mobility, those unable to transfer into a standard car passenger seat, as well as their families, friends or carers, can all benefit from a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle.

COMFORT • INCLUSION • SAFETY
Brotherwood WAV Conversions are known for their comfort, inclusion, safety, and ease of use. Every Brotherwood disability vehicle features a flat, level lowered floor, which benefits the wheelchair user and carers alike.

Our friendly, experienced staff consult with you on your personal mobility needs. We’ll ask you a few questions about your lifestyle. This will help determine what type of Wheelchair Adapted Vehicle will best suit you.
Unlike ‘volume’ wheelchair vehicle converters, our priority is not to sell to you. Instead we aim to provide the best Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle for your needs.
We’ll suggest the most suitable accessible vehicle for your needs. But you’ll need to try it for yourself. So, we’ll provide a free, no-obligation home demonstration.
A friendly advisor will bring the vehicle to you, explain the vehicle’s features, and demonstrate the wheelchair loading procedure. You can also discuss any further adaptations you may need.
Your consultant will guide you through ordering your new Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle. You’ll get regular updates throughout your vehicle build until delivery. We can even help you navigate insuring your accessible vehicle.
Your dedicated specialist will be on hand at all times. Whether you are purchasing privately, or leasing a WAV through the Motability scheme. We’re here to help you every step of the way.
ENGINEERING TO ENABLE
Brotherwood® Wheelchair Cars go through a precision engineered conversion process.
We are an ISO:9001 accredited company, with exacting standards for quality, comfort and safety.
CONVERSION PROCESS
With over 40 years of experience, we are familiar with all types of disability, and most popular wheelchair models.
Our Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Buyer’s Guide can answer your frequently asked questions.
A WAV is no different to insure than a standard vehicle, however you will need to inform your insurer that it has been converted to transport a wheelchair user, as you will need to cover the vehicle for the full replacement value.
WAV InsuranceWAVs can be serviced at a regular garage or dealership, however this does not include aspects of the conversion, such as ramp and restraint systems. Brotherwood have a nationwide team of mobile service engineers, who can visit you at home to carry out Annual WAV Checks and conversion servicing.
WAV ServicingThere are multiple affordable and flexible funding options for Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles, so consider which works best for your budget.
WAV FINANCEWheelchair Accessible Vehicles are usually exempt of VAT if they have been permanently adapted, and are being purchased by a private individual for the benefit of a disabled person. However, you can only claim this exemption once every 3 years, and the rules are different for business or charity purchases.
WAV VAT EXEMPTIONPeople who receive the higher rate of the Mobility Component or Disability Living Allowance (DLA), or Personal Independence Payment (PIP) are entitled to apply for a free road fund licence.
