accessibleGO expands services for disabled travelers, now offering flights, car rentals, mobility aids, and accessible vehicle rides in one platform.

Today marks a significant milestone for accessibleGO, the foremost platform in facilitating global travel for individuals with disabilities. The company has proudly announced a comprehensive expansion of its offerings, now enabling customers to seamlessly arrange a variety of travel needs through a single platform. This includes booking flights, vehicles equipped with hand controls, vans designed for wheelchair users, various mobility devices, and specialized concierge services for accessible vehicle transportation.

This evolution in accessibleGO’s services is part of its broader mission to revolutionize the global travel reservation process. Following a reservation, a team member from accessibleGO personally verifies with providers to ensure all accessibility requirements are met, providing reassurance and certainty for travelers and their companions that their specific needs will be addressed.

Miriam Eljas, co-founder and CEO of accessibleGO, emphasizes the company’s dedication to empowering travelers with disabilities. “In a world often challenging for accessible travel, our goal is to enable these travelers to plan their journeys confidently,” she states. “We’re thrilled about our ongoing progress and partnerships within the disability community, and we remain focused on enhancing the travel booking experience for those with accessibility needs and their travel companions.”

The updated features on accessibleGO.com now encompass:

  • Flights: Beyond flight booking, customers can outline specific assistance needs, with accessibleGO liaising directly with airlines to ensure these needs are accommodated.
  • Car Rentals: Offers include specialized features such as hand controls and spinner knobs, with confirmation of these requirements within five business days by accessibleGO.
  • Wheelchair Van Rentals: Expanding access to the largest national network of wheelchair van rentals through partnerships at both national and regional levels.
  • Mobility Rentals: In collaboration with Scootaround, a range of mobility aids like scooters, wheelchairs, hoyer lifts, hospital beds, and recliners are available for booking.
  • Concierge Ride Services for Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicles: Partnering with Jayride, accessibleGO offers dependable wheelchair-accessible transportation services, including airport transfers and hotel pickups, supported by Jayride’s 24/7 customer service.

Additionally, world travelers can book accessible hotels, resorts, or motels worldwide using accessibleGO’s unique hotel booking platform. This platform features exclusive accessibility information on over 6,000 hotels in more than 180 cities in the U.S., along with member discounts of up to 60% and a customer service that confirms accessibility requests for special room features.

The platform’s success is further bolstered by an active global community of travelers with various disabilities. This community is a hub for exchanging personal stories, experiences, and trusted tips, fostering a supportive environment for those with accessible travel needs and their caregivers.
