Plan an excellent wheelchair-accessible road trip this season to create new memories. Keep in mind the following tips for a more successful vacation.

Traveling can be tricky and uncomfortable for many individuals who use a wheelchair. Planning a road trip that is wheelchair accessible may be the thing you need in order to enjoy your vacation more because it’s easier to accommodate. Ensure this trip is successful and goes off without a hitch with the following tips.

Plan a Route With Wheelchair Accessible Stops

No matter how far you plan to travel on your road trip, you must ensure the stops you make are ADA-compliant. Nothing is more frustrating than planning activities along the journey only to find out it isn’t feasible because they are not wheelchair friendly. Browse through various travel websites on your destination to get an idea of what attractions and stops you can make that will be fun for everyone involved on the trip.

Ensure You Have All the Necessary Equipment

To properly prepare for this vacation, you must have all mobility equipment and extra gear road ready before setting off on the journey. You never want to accidentally forget extra batteries or essential devices because if something breaks down, it’s best to have a backup. Other devices vital in creating more comfort throughout the trip, like a handicap vehicle transfer seat, should be in working condition to prevent complications.

Perform proper maintenance on your vehicle to ensure it is ready for transportation and travel. Inspect the car’s components thoroughly and address any issues before the drive begins.

Plan on Taking Extra Time

Bathroom breaks and pit stops are inevitable on a road trip—no one can drive for hours on end without needing to stop at least once. Having a wheelchair may require extra time during activities because you might need to adjust the equipment. When planning this wheelchair-accessible road trip, leave wiggle room in your schedule if there is an emergency or you fall behind on the itinerary.

Prepare the Car for a Long Road Trip

A surefire way to minimize the number of stops it takes to reach your destination is to prepare and pack your car with useful items you might need along the way, like chargers, snacks, and trash bags. The only stops you may need to make are bathroom breaks and gas stops. Pack the food in containers or bags to make it easy to eat and clean while driving, and organize all the other items in totes so you can easily find them.

Make the most out of your road trip by planning accordingly beforehand. While most activities and places should be wheelchair friendly, it is always best to check before deciding on your destination. What will you do to make your road trip more accessible and fun for wheelchair users?
