Who We Help
Gilani Engineering provides wheelchair accessible vehicle hire specifically for NDIS participants, seniors, people with physical disabilities, families waiting for permanent vehicle modifications, and disability support workers who need reliable and safe accessible transport – in Sydney, across NSW, and Australia-wide by arrangement.
We are not a general car rental company. Every vehicle in our hire fleet has been professionally converted and maintained by our in-house team of certified mechanical engineers at our Smithfield, NSW workshop. If you or your loved one uses a manual wheelchair, power wheelchair, or large powerchair, we have the right accessible vehicle for you.
The Problem We Solve
Finding a genuinely accessible hire vehicle in Australia is harder than it should be. Most car rental companies offer nothing for wheelchair users, and specialist providers are few. Families are left scrambling – especially when a primary vehicle is being modified, when someone is recovering from surgery or injury, or when a permanent WAV (wheelchair accessible vehicle) is on backorder. Gilani Engineering solves exactly this problem. We provide short-term wheelchair car hire, long-term accessible vehicle rental, and interim hire solutions so that wheelchair users are never left without safe, dignified transport – no matter how long they need it.┬а
Our Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Hire Fleet
Our hire fleet includes professionally converted Toyota RAV4 and van-based wheelchair accessible vehicles, each fitted with:
- Lowered floor entry for reduced loading angle
- Rear ramp entry system (electric and manual options)
- Secure 4-point wheelchair tie-down and restraint systems
- Electric front occupant seatbelt integration
- ANCAP 5-star rated safety vehicles
- Regular professional servicing and compliance checks
┬а
Every vehicle is delivered clean, fuelled, and ready. A full handover demonstration is provided before you drive away, and our Sydney-based team is available if you need support at any time during your hire.
Not Every Client Needs a Full Wheelchair Conversion - We Have Options for Everyone
At Gilani Engineering, we understand that mobility needs vary from person to person. That is why we offer three distinct hire options, so you only pay for exactly what you need.
Option 1 тАФ Full Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Hire (WAV) Our fully converted wheelchair accessible cars and vans are built for passengers who remain seated in their wheelchair during travel. These vehicles feature lowered floors, rear entry ramps, and full 4-point restraint systems. Ideal for powerchair and manual wheelchair users who cannot or prefer not to transfer to a standard car seat.
Option 2 тАФ Standard Vehicle Hire with Mobility Add-Ons Not every client requires a full wheelchair conversion. If you can transfer to a standard car seat and simply need additional mobility support, we offer standard vehicle hire fitted with optional mobility adaptations, including:
- Swivel seat assists for easier entry and exit
- Grab handles and transfer aids
- Hand controls for drivers with upper limb mobility
- Boot hoists for loading folding wheelchairs or mobility scooters
- Portable ramps for low-level access assistance
This option suits people who are mobile with assistance, recovering from surgery, or transitioning between levels of mobility support. It is also a practical and more affordable hire option for carers and support workers who drive able-bodied passengers that need mild physical assistance.
Option 3 тАФ Driver-Modified Vehicle Hire For clients who drive themselves but require vehicle modifications to do so safely, we also offer hire vehicles fitted with hand controls and other driver-assist adaptations. This gives independent drivers with lower limb impairments the freedom to get behind the wheel without needing their own modified vehicle.
Not sure which option is right for you? Call our team on (02) 8740 8963┬аand we will match you to the most suitable vehicle for your needs.

A Real Result That Speaks for Itself
One of our Sydney clients – an NDIS participant and full-time powerchair user – came to us while waiting six months for his permanent vehicle modification to be completed. He hired one of our accessible RAV4 vehicles for the entire interim period. During that time, he attended all his medical appointments independently, maintained his work schedule, and travelled to visit family across NSW without relying on taxis or support workers for every trip. When his modification was ready, he handed back the hire vehicle and drove away in his own – on his terms, on his timeline.
That is exactly what accessible vehicle hire should deliver: independence, not dependency.

Frequently Asked Question
Do I need an NDIS plan to hire a wheelchair accessible vehicle from Gilani Engineering?
No. While we strongly support NDIS participants and can assist with NDIS documentation for funded hires, our wheelchair accessible vehicle hire is also available to private clients. Anyone who needs an accessible vehicle тАФ whether funded through NDIS, a compensation scheme, or privately тАФ is welcome to hire from us.
What types of wheelchairs are supported in your hire vehicles?
Our hire vehicles are fitted with 4-point tie-down and restraint systems suitable for most manual wheelchairs, standard electric wheelchairs, and powerchairs. If you have a large or custom powerchair, contact us before booking so we can confirm compatibility and choose the most suitable vehicle from our fleet.
How long can I hire a wheelchair accessible vehicle for?
We offer flexible hire terms from daily and weekly hire through to long-term monthly rental. Many clients hire for several months while waiting for a permanent vehicle modification. There is no rigid maximum period тАФ we work around your situation.
Can I use my NDIS funding to cover the cost of accessible vehicle hire?
Yes, in many cases. NDIS plan-managed and self-managed participants can often use their funding to cover accessible vehicle hire under the appropriate support category. We provide NDIS-ready documentation to support your claim. We recommend confirming with your support coordinator or plan manager before booking.
Can I hire a wheelchair accessible vehicle while my own car is being modified?
Yes тАФ this is one of the most common reasons people come to us. Vehicle modifications can take weeks or even months depending on the complexity of the conversion and parts availability. Rather than being without transport during that time, many clients hire one of our accessible vehicles as an interim solution. We can arrange the hire to start as soon as your vehicle goes in for modification, so there is no gap in your transport.
Is a wheelchair accessible vehicle hire available outside of Sydney?
Our depot is based in Smithfield, Sydney NSW, and we primarily serve the Sydney metro area and Greater NSW. However, we do offer Australia-wide hire by arrangement. If you are located in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, or regional Australia, contact us to discuss delivery options and logistics. We will do our best to get an accessible vehicle to you wherever you are.
What is the difference between a WAV hire and a standard car hire with mobility add-ons?
A wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) is a fully converted car or van where the passenger remains seated in their wheelchair throughout the journey тАФ the wheelchair is secured inside the vehicle using a 4-point tie-down restraint system. A standard vehicle with mobility add-ons is a regular car fitted with additional equipment such as swivel seats, grab handles, hand controls, or a boot hoist for loading a folding wheelchair. The right option depends on whether you can transfer to a car seat or need to travel in your wheelchair. Our team will help you choose the most suitable hire vehicle for your specific situation.
Can a support worker or carer drive the hire vehicle?
Yes. Many of our hire vehicles are driven by support workers, carers, and family members rather than the wheelchair user themselves. There are no restrictions on who drives, provided the driver holds a valid Australian driver’s licence and meets standard hire requirements. If the driver also requires mobility adaptations such as hand controls, please let us know in advance so we can arrange the right vehicle.
Do your hire vehicles come with insurance?
Yes. Many of our hire vehicles are driven by support workers, carers, and family members rather than the wheelchair user themselves. There are no restrictions on who drives, provided the driver holds a valid Australian driver’s licence and meets standard hire requirements. If the driver also requires mobility adaptations such as hand controls, please let us know in advance so we can arrange the right vehicle.
What happens if I need help or something goes wrong during the hire?
Our Sydney-based team is available to assist you throughout your hire period. If you experience any issue with the vehicle, the ramp system, or the wheelchair restraints, contact us directly and we will work to resolve it as quickly as possible. We provide a full demonstration and handover before every hire so you feel completely confident operating the vehicle before you leave our depot.
Can I hire a vehicle if I am visiting Australia from overseas?
Yes. Visitors to Australia who need a wheelchair accessible hire vehicle in Sydney are welcome to contact us. Please get in touch before your trip so we can confirm availability and discuss documentation requirements for overseas drivers.
What is a hire-to-buy option and how does it work?
Our hire-to-buy option allows you to put hire payments toward the eventual purchase of the vehicle. If you start a hire and later decide you would like to keep the vehicle permanently, we will apply a portion of what you have already paid toward the purchase price. This is a practical option for clients who are unsure whether they need a permanent vehicle or who want to trial a specific model before committing to ownership.Yes. Many of our hire vehicles are driven by support workers, carers, and family members rather than the wheelchair user themselves. There are no restrictions on who drives, provided the driver holds a valid Australian driver’s licence and meets standard hire requirements. If the driver also requires mobility adaptations such as hand controls, please let us know in advance so we can arrange the right vehicle.
