Accessible Vehicle Hire at Manchester Airport

Whether you’re returning from a holiday, heading to a business meeting, or visiting family in the North of England, getting the right vehicle at Manchester Airport shouldn’t be a battle. Specialist Vehicle Rental is proud to offer dedicated accessible vehicle hire at Manchester Airport — with wheelchair accessible vehicles and disability adapted cars ready and waiting from the moment you land.

We’ve partnered with Maple Parking and are backed by Disabled Motoring UK to bring something genuinely new to the UK: accessible vehicle hire based right at the airport, built around you.

Why Choose Specialist Vehicle Rental at Manchester Airport?

Manchester Airport is the UK’s third busiest airport and the largest outside London, handling tens of millions of passengers every year across its three terminals. It’s a major hub for the North of England, the Midlands and beyond — yet until now, disabled passengers and wheelchair users have had to navigate complex, stressful workarounds just to get a suitable vehicle.

We’ve changed that. Our Manchester Airport service means:

  • No more unsuitable vehicles. Every car in our fleet is either fully wheelchair accessible or has been specifically adapted for disabled drivers and passengers.
  • No more waiting around. Your vehicle is pre-arranged before you arrive — we’re not scrambling to find something when you land.
  • No more compromises. You get the same seamless experience as any other traveller, just with a vehicle that actually works for you.

We are BVRLA Quality Assured and proud winners of the Fleet News Award for Rental Supplier of the Year 2025.
