Disability Information & Advice Line

DIAL Solihull can help you make holiday and leisure arrangements for disabled people, their relatives and carers.

There are companies that specialise in holidays for people with all sorts of disabilities, for example, those who are sight and hearing impaired, wheelchair users and people needing on-site care. There are even adventure holidays available for the more daring, including sailing and canal boating.

There are specially adapted hotels with shower chairs, hoists etc. available, which welcome people with disabilities and their carers and travel insurance to cover holidays in the UK and abroad is available from specialist companies.

Some transport operators will provide coaches with tail lifts for wheelchair access or smaller vehicles with ramps and most transport companies provide assistance upon request. Rail companies, stations, airlines and airports are all obliged to try to remove barriers anyone may face in using their services.

At many holiday destinations wheelchairs, scooters and other specialist equipment is available for hire, both in the UK and abroad.

DIAL Solihull understands how much more difficult it can be to make holiday and leisure arrangements for those with disabilities. We can, not only advise you but help you make those arrangements.
