How can you get an electric wheelchair into a car?
My kid has just got into a pretty bad accident and will need to be in a wheelchair for a while. Obviously, that’s a bit of a pain, as I’ll still need to ferry them to school and around town. They have an electric wheelchair, which is handy for them, but might be a little difficult to feed into a car. How can you get an electric wheelchair into a car?

Well, first of all, we hope your kid makes a speedy recovery! It can be pretty frustrating to be in an accident, especially when you’re young and energetic. The good news is that getting an electric wheelchair into a car isn’t as tricky as it used to be.
However, it’s not like you have your car to thank. Rather, it’s easier to get a wheelchair into your car these days due to better foldable wheelchairs themselves. The best thing you can do is know your chair. That means you should be aware of:
- How well it folds
- How heavy it is
- How big it is when it folds
As long as you know the above information, you should be able to fit a wheelchair in your car fairly comfortably. It’s simply down to you whether you store it in the backseat or trunk. If needs be, you can reach out to the wheelchair company, or even check the instruction manual for the best tips on transportation.
You should also be checking out the right
car insurance
for your car. To find the best deal, try using the Jerry
