MS can make driving a standard car impossible, but that doesn't mean driving has to stop altogether.

For many people living with multiple sclerosis, modified vehicles with hand controls or adaptive features are what stand between them and independence. The ability to get to work. To see their family. To go where they need to go, when they need to go there.

Today is World MS Day 💙 and we want every New Zealander living with MS to know this option exists.

We hire modified vehicles by the day, no long-term commitment, no pressure. Just a conversation about what you need.

Access. That right there is why we do what we do. 💙

Clark recently received his vehicle in Whangārei, and his words reminded us of the real difference accessible transport makes, not just getting from A to B, but getting back to work, back to independence, and back to life.

The New Zealand Disability Strategy 2026–2030 has just been released, and at its core is a simple idea: disabled people should be able to live the life they choose.

That includes getting around.

But for too many New Zealanders with disabilities, transport is still a daily barrier. Standard vehicles don't fit their needs. Rental companies don't carry modified fleets. Independence gets traded in because the right option simply wasn't available.

We're working to change that, one vehicle, one trip, one person at a time.

If transport has been a barrier for you or someone you love, let's talk.

Getting around in a standard car usually means transfers in and out of your wheelchair.

Hire cars aren’t set up for accessibility.
And organising specialised transport every time you go somewhere? It gets complicated fast.

That’s why we make it simpler 🚐

Our wheelchair-accessible vans are designed so you can travel safely and comfortably in your wheelchair for the entire journey, whether you’re driving or a passenger.

With ramps or hoists, secure wheelchair restraint systems, and proper internal space, everything is set up so you can just get in and go.

No unnecessary transfers. No extra stress. Just more freedom to move.

You choose where you’re going, we’ll sort the vehicle.

🎉 Happy Retirement, Frank! 🎉

Today we say a huge farewell to one of our longest-serving and most valued team members - Frank! 🙌

After an incredible 11 years with the Freedom Mobility / Vehicle Adaptions whānau, Frank is hanging up his tools and heading into a well-deserved retirement. Eleven years of dedication, hard work, and being a cornerstone of our team.

Frank, you've made such a lasting impact on all of us and the many clients we serve together.
We celebrated in style with cake, treats, and plenty of laughs, but no celebration could truly capture just how much Frank means to this team. 💛

Frank, we wish you nothing but sunshine, rest, and all the good things retirement brings. You will be truly missed - but we know you've more than earned this next chapter!

Thank you for everything. Enjoy every moment! 🥂

Most rental companies have zero modified vehicles. Zero.

That's not a minor inconvenience. It means being locked out of independent travel entirely.

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day 🌍 and this is exactly the gap Freedom Mobility was built to fill.

New Zealand's largest modified vehicle rental fleet. Nationwide. Delivered to you.

Because you deserve the freedom to live life on your terms.

♿ Such wonderful news for the South Island! The opening of Dunedin's first Changing Places bathroom is a huge step forward for accessibility and community inclusion.

For many of the people we work with, access to safe and dignified facilities like this is what makes getting out and about possible. A height-adjustable toilet, change table, hoist, these aren't luxuries, they're necessities.

We love seeing infrastructure catch up with the needs of disabled people and their whānau. Here's hoping this is just the beginning, and we see more Changing Places facilities popping up across New Zealand! 🙌

Here's something most people don't realise until after their first booking with us:

You don't have to come to us. We come to you.

Getting to a rental depot can sometimes be its own barrier. So we removed it. We'll deliver your modified vehicle to your home, your hotel, or the airport, wherever you are in New Zealand.

No hassle. Your vehicle, where you need it.

That's what accessible vehicle rental actually looks like.

💗 Pink is our colour today, and always!

We're proud to stand together for Pink Shirt Day and say loud and clear: kindness matters. Bullying has no place in our community, our workplaces, or our world.

At Freedom Mobility + Vehicle Adaptions, inclusion isn't just something we talk about, it's everything we do. Every day, we work to make sure everyone can move through life with freedom, dignity, and confidence.

Today, our team pulled on their brightest pink socks and showed up for what counts. 💪🩷
Happy Pink Shirt Day, Aotearoa. Be kind. Always.

This story stopped us in our tracks. 🥰

When Narly noticed Finlay and his support buddy Megan out in the rain in Devonport, he didn't just walk on, he got thinking.

The result?

A custom umbrella holder engineered to fit Finlay's powerchair, gifted by the legends at Blunt Umbrellas.

This is what community looks like. People noticing, caring, and actually doing something about it.

We love seeing Kiwis show up for each other. 🌧️☂️

Including Finlay BLUNT Umbrellas

Finlay met a new friend in the Devonport community a couple of weeks ago. His name was Narly.

It was one of those wet Auckland days, and Narly noticed Finlay and Megan (his support buddy) out in the rain. He came over and kindly offered an umbrella. Megan explained that while it was such a thoughtful gesture, it’s not that simple; she can’t hold an umbrella, keep Finlay dry, and safely control his powerchair all at the same time.

But Narly didn’t just walk away. He got thinking… surely there had to be a better way.

As it turns out, Narly is a lawyer and happens to work with Blunt Umbrellas. So he reached out. From there, local Glenfield legend Toby from Blunt stepped in and engineered a custom holder that attaches directly to Finlay’s powerchair. Not only that, they gifted him a Blunt umbrella, the holder, and a cover to go with it.

Today, they both came around to fit it onto Finlay’s chair.

I asked them to stop for a photo, because this is exactly the kind of story worth sharing. It’s about community. It’s about people noticing, caring, and then actually doing something about it.

Thank you for looking out for my Finlay, Narly, and Toby. You’ve made a real difference.

Blunt, we love your umbrellas.
