Disability Hire Vehicles is a 'self-drive' or 'dry hire' car rental company- we provide you with a motor vehicle full of petrol and ready to go! Just like AVIS, HERTZ or BUDGET, you come to our depot, fill in the paperwork then drive-away!
We have a variety of vehicle types to suit your needs
- Cars with 'push-pull' hand controls
- Cars with a left-foot accelerator
- Mini-vans with a ramp for wheelchair access
- Mini-buses with a hoist for wheelchair access
When renting one of our modified vehicles you get:
Wheelchair Restraints and Seatbelt
For those travelling in their wheelchair, scooter or tubchair, an approved 4-point restraint system and seatbelt are included. Extra restraints can also be supplied to tie-down any additional equipment being transported (surcharges apply).
24 Hour Roadside Assistance
All of our vehicles are covered under NRMA (Autoclub) roadside assistance with priority cover. At DHV, we do everything we can to ensure your journey is hassle free, so you can spend more time enjoying your destination or event.
Secure Parking Available
Rest assured knowing that your own vehicle will be safely locked-up on our premises while you are renting from us. Unit complex gates are closed at night to provide security for your vehicle.
Free customer pick-up service from our nearest train station- Mulgrave NSW
If you choose to commute via train to collect one of our vehicles, we can arrange for a staff member to be waiting for you with an accessible vehicle to bring you back to our office. Just let us know when making your booking and we can arrange this service for you.
Range of steering wheel 'spinner knobs' available
When renting one of our cars fitted with hand controls or a left foot accelerator, you may require a spinner knob- which fits to the steering wheel- to allow for single hand steering. Also known as Tripin spinners or Cuddle knobs; they can be a round knob, a U-handle or even a quad-fork. Speak to us about your needs and preferences at the time of booking and we can arrange this device to be fitted for your comfort.
Insurance
All of our vehicles are covered by a comprehensive insurance policy, see our terms and conditions for details.
