AmRamp Wheelchair Accessible Ramps - Medical ServicesWheelchair Ramp Rentals Provide a Solution to Summer Travel Plans

As summer 2010 kicks off, it’s surprising to hear lots of folks haven’t made plans yet   or so the headlines read. From the economy to other disasters, summer travel remains a popular topic, although plans are traditionally already long set.

Maybe folks have taken a tip from Nashville residents who had to rearrange their Gulf Coast plans. Perhaps fear of getting stuck in Europe after another blast of volcano ash is holding up vacation arrangements.

Families who need accessible accommodation, typically have trouble finding vacation homes for different reasons. Most vacation homes or cottage rentals are not accessible and therefore beyond reach of those living with a disability.   That’s where Amramp.com can help: Amramp can install a rental wheelchair ramp almost anywhere, with no damage to the rental property, whether you need it for a day, week or month.

A wheelchair ramp rental can keep traditions intact like gathering family at the same lakeside cottage for generations, overcoming failing health or recovering from accidents and surgeries.

Now’s a good time to think of last-minute alternatives that can include the whole family, even if you have special mobility needs. Renting a wheelchair ramp could make a beach house or cabin in the mountains accessible for everyone. A vacation cottage can easily be made accessible with a sturdy, modular wheelchair ramp from Amramp.

Finding a rental closer to home rather than flying to Europe or across the Wheelchair Ramp installationcountry is looking better every day, and summer rentals remain a good value due to lower demand. As gas prices spike – which they are predicted to do just as the summer travel season is in full swing – considering a rental property is an attractive option.

People who need a cane or wheelchair need not be left out of the vacation. If someone has a disability or a broken a leg, they can still be part of the fun. And the cost of renting a wheelchair ramp is less than staying at a hotel for several days.

Amramp rents and sells steel wheelchair ramps with railings that can be installed by our professionals within a day. Unlike smaller, lightweight ramps, Amramp wheelchair  ramps are adaptable for use in settings such as sandy, beachfront property or uneven terrain by a lake retreat. Wheelchair Ramps from Amramp are not permanently attached to the home and will not negatively impact a rental home in any way. The modular design of the wheelchair ramp is perfect for a short term rental and provides the safest solution available for your needs.

Amramp, offers a fast, easy and safe wheelchair ramp solution to improve people’s lives.  Amramp is a national organization with local, factory-trained professionals and with local inventory throughout the country.
