Accessible Travel
There’s a wonderful travel website that is geared towards helping people with disabilities. They have access to everything you need to travel and all at a discount. Roll in showers, ADA tubs, flights, rental cars with hand controls, in room refrigerator for medications, wheelchair van rentals, hotels that welcome service animals, hearing accessible rooms, accessible swimming pools, equipment rentals, cruises, rides, etc…..
It’s so very stressful traveling without a disability already. There are a lot more concerns when also traveling with a disability

I haven’t had the opportunity to travel much but I know that a lot of places say that they are accessible and have everything you need but really don’t. It’s not like promising extra pillows and not having them. Some of these things are crucial for many reasons. That’s why, out of all the services they offer, my favorite thing is that they call ahead to verify that they have everything that you need and they advocate for you! Services are great but there’s nothing quite like someone advocating for you! It’s like an invisible hug.
I contacted them, and the co-founder replied both last year and this year. She is such a nice person! Anyone who thinks of providing a service like this is awesome, in my opinion. I also think that personal service makes such a big difference! Here is what she had to say:
“AccessibleGO is the first-ever travel booking site built exclusively for people with accessibility needs offering hotels, car rentals with hand controls, wheelchair van rentals, accessible rides and mobility rentals. With over 120,000 signups on our platform to date, we are quickly becoming the go-to site for accessible travel needs. Every booking comes with our free accessibility confirmation service. With proprietary accessibility information for thousands of hotels across America, special discounted disability rates, an unparalleled customer service experience, and access to a dynamic community of like-minded travelers, people know when you book with us— we’ve got your back.”

They also have a community forum where many people ask for tips, recommendations, information, etc….. on their upcoming trips which eases many different concerns.
I often tell one person at a time when they ask. I would love to tell as many people as possible because I feel this service is so valuable. I’m always shocked that more people don’t know about it. Please check them out!
This website makes it easier to enjoy the vacation instead of spending most of it worrying. Please tell them that you heard about it from me in the notes.
