Playcar has introduced in car sharing the first wheelchair ramp-equipped vehicle available in Europe. The accessible Renault Kangoo finally makes it possible to book a vehicle suitable for transporting a wheelchair user with the same simplicity with which, until now, you could choose a city car or van through the app.
Key Features
- Manual rear ramp with lowered floor: allows wheelchair access with a gentle slope and no internal obstructions.
- Configuration up to 5 seats (4 + 1): four traditional seats plus a central parking area for the wheelchair, complete with anchor points and three-point belt for the passenger.
- Spaciousness and visibility: complete windows and “book-fold” ramp that doesn’t limit the rear window when stored, improving driving safety.
- 24/7 booking via app: the vehicle is listed under the Minivan category and can be rented by the hour or day, with transparent rates and traditional smartphone door opening.
