accessibleGO Expands to Become First One-Stop Shop for Travelers with Disabilities

Addition of flights, rental cars with hand controls, wheelchair van rentals, mobility rentals, and concierge ride services for wheelchair-accessible vehicles makes accessibleGO the first full-service travel platform for people with disabilities

NEW YORK, Jan. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- accessibleGO, the leading accessible travel platform, today unveiled a series of enhanced products and services to make all aspects of travel more accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities. Now in addition to hotels, customers can book flights, rental cars with hand controls, wheelchair van rentals, mobility rentals, and concierge ride services for wheelchair-accessible vehicles, all in one place. Additional features will be introduced in the coming months.

At accessibleGO, disrupting the travel booking process extends beyond the initial reservation. Once a booking is made, an accessibleGO team member contacts the provider to confirm accessibility requests can be accommodated. This key differentiator provides peace of mind for customers and their travel companions that specific needs will be met.

"In a world where traveling with accessible needs can feel totally inaccessible, we are committed to doing all we can to empower travelers with disabilities as they plan their trips," said Miriam Eljas, co-founder and CEO of accessibleGO. "We are excited about the progress we've made with our partners in the disability community, and look forward to continuing to improve the travel booking process for people with accessibility needs and their travel companions so they can travel freely and with confidence."

The new features on accessibleGO.com include:

• Flights: In addition to booking flights, customers can specify what they require assistance with. accessibleGO will contact the airlines directly to confirm the accessibility requests can be accommodated. 
• Car Rentals: Customers can request unique accessibility features including car hand controls and spinner knobs, which will be confirmed on their reservation by accessibleGO within five business days.
• Wheelchair Van Rentals: Customers now have access to the widest national coverage of wheelchair van rentals via agreements with national and regional partners.
• Mobility Rentals: Through a partnership with Scootaround, customers can book mobility products including scooters, wheelchairs, hoyer lifts, hospital beds and recliners through accessibleGO.
• Concierge Ride Services for Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicles: In partnership with Jayride, accessibleGO is offering wheelchair accessible rides, including airport transfers, hotel pickups and general travel services, ensuring customers will have the right vehicle with a reliable service provider with 24/7 support by Jayride's customer service team.
