When planning your special event consider wheelchair transportation for special needs guests. You may want to consider the distance and number of out-of-town guests or local guests who need accommodation for their unique needs. Many times, limousine companies don’t have vehicles that can transport wheelchairs.
Think about timing before choosing a limo company. Use 4 months in advance as a rule of thumb for planning transportation for:
- Weddings
- Corporate Events
- Festivals
- Wedding and Baby Showers
- Weekend getaways to Chicagoland
Many wheelchair users and their families aren’t aware of the availability of wheelchair transportation in the Chicago area. Yelp is a good website to begin your search. The search can help identify wheelchair transportation, but may not identify companies with wheelchair limousines, such as the MV-1 limo.
We have had experiences where the restrooms are not truly wheelchair accessible, forcing us to drive to gas stations that have wheelchair accessible bathrooms. It can really spoil the fun at a wedding reception!
