Traveling With a Disability Costs More: Accessible Black Friday Deals

Traveling can be expensive, especially for those with disabilities. Hotel rooms can cost more and the necessary adaptable equipment can be quite pricey. If you are interested in going on an accessible trip, this month will be the date to plan. Wheel the World is providing for our first-ever Accessible Black Friday deals, bringing you exclusive discounts on hotels, packages, and group tours.

Why is Traveling with a Disability More Expensive?

There are several factors that contribute to the markup costs of traveling with a disability. Three of the major contributors are:

Budget Hotels Are Not Always Accessible

When you are traveling somewhere and searching for hotels, you may notice that the budget-friendly hotels do not always provide necessary features for accessibility. Their goal is to provide a low-cost, basic room to stay. The hotels don't have the budget themselves to invest in accessible amenities, thus alienating customers with disabilities. The other option is then to look at the higher-priced hotel rooms that have the ability to invest in the required features. Thus, customers having to pay more than maybe they intended.

Adaptable Transportation is Expensive

Transportation is the lifeline of travel, yet when it comes to accessibility, it can be a costly hurdle. The most cost-effective option is utilizing public transportation. However, it can be difficult to rely on due to the various levels accessibility in different places.

This leads to private transportation options. Ride-shares, taxis, or renting an adaptable vehicle. As you probably know, these can be costly. The provision of ramps, sufficient space, and maintenance of the equipment make adaptable transportation services more expensive.

The Expenses of Extra Equipment

Travel isn't just about staying in a comfortable place; it's about experiencing the destination fully. For individuals with disabilities, participating in sportive activities or local attractions may require extra assistance. Whether it's adaptive equipment, additional personnel, or tailored experiences, these enhancements often come with a price tag.

Not to mention the specialized equipment many individuals require. Being away from home requires the purchase or rental of certain accessible equipment for a comfortable stay. For example, the hotel room may not have a shower chair, so you need to purchase a portable one to bring with you. Many hotel rooms don't provide bed hoists, so you may need to rent one at your destination.

When you combine all these factors of additional expenses, the cost can add up significantly.
