Equipment Holidays

Think through what equipment you need for your holiday. For example, do you need a raised toilet seat, a mobile hoist or a wheelchair? Can you take it with you or do you need to hire or borrow some equipment?

When booking through an accessible holiday provider, it is always worth asking them if they are able to hire equipment on your behalf as part of your holiday package.

Of course, you should always check that the equipment available is suitable for you before agreeing to any charges.
