Experience fun, hassle-free accessible holidays and trips
Are you planning an accessible holiday or day trip but aren’t sure how to travel to your destination?
Hiring one of our medically adapted Jumbulances makes accessible travel possible for people with disabilities and other serious illnesses. It’s a perfect option for groups with special travel requirements.
Travelling can be difficult if you require additional support, or if you care for someone who does. As a charity with decades of experience, our aim is to ensure that travel is available and accessible for everyone, because we all deserve a break from time to time.
Hiring a Jumbulance means you can travel comfortably as a group without the stress of public transport such as inaccessible and ablist aeroplanes or trains (although our ultimate aim is that all transport becomes fully accessible!). Jumbulances are perfect for groups with varied requirements because our coaches are equipped for a wide range abilities, impairments – whilst remaining full of comfort and fun.
