Another very useful video! I had no idea that any Canadian car rental company offered vehicles with hand controls & spinner knobs. Good to know. Thank you Brittney for doing all this research!

They don't cost more to rent. All the companies put the adaptive driving devices in at no charge.

That seems like good info, here in Spain we've adapted taxies and the car rental companies use to have some adapted vehicles, a percentage, usually vans; but i don't really know the conditions or options in case someone wants to come and visit.

nice 1 Britteny.

I feel like adapted vehicles (ramp vehicles especially) should take precedence over other vehicles in repair shops because they are not easily rentable.

I agree that all adapted vehicles should take priority, and I only regret that I no longer have the influence I once had.

Please make a video on exercises which you do?

Having a portable set of hand controls is a good idea. I have a set and have used them. They are easy to install. They just clamp on to the pedals.

Curious how did you decide on hand control when you first started driving? I still need help in transferring but eventually I would like to drive eventually

I didn't really choose. My dad did, and I just got used to the ones he chose. I was still a teenager when I learned to drive and I think the options were limited back then.

What about paratransit services and taxi cab for mobility impaired persons?

Those services are very specific based on where you live so I would't be able to do a very useful video on that!

Just curious, are your accessibility laws federal, or Provincial?

Less hand movement would be appreciated!!!
