Regain your driving confidence with driving adaptations to enjoy exploring the Westcountry
Losing confidence behind the wheel — or needing to change the way you drive — can be a daunting thought. For many people, driving isn’t just about getting from A to B; it’s about freedom, independence, and staying connected to the places and people you love.
At Unique Mobility, we understand that everyone’s driving journey is different. Whether you’re a new user adapting to life after an amputation, recovering from a stroke, living with a spinal injury, or managing a neurological condition such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the right vehicle adaptations can make driving safer, more comfortable, and less physically demanding.
Why You Might Consider Driving Adaptations?
Vehicle adaptations can make a world of difference in helping you stay independent and confident on the road. You may benefit from adaptations if:
-
You have reduced strength or mobility in your arms or legs.
-
Using standard pedals or steering feels difficult or tiring.
-
You find getting in and out of your car challenging.
-
You need to store or transport mobility equipment safely and easily.
For new users, the thought of learning to drive with adaptations might feel overwhelming — but our team is here to guide you through every step.
How Unique Mobility Can Help
We offer a complete, personalised service for private installations and also work with local car dealerships to install adaptations through the Motability Scheme. Whether you’ve already decided on the type of adaptation you need or you’re just starting to explore your options, we can help you find the perfect solution.
Our range of vehicle adaptations includes:
-
Driving controls – Adapted steering, braking, and acceleration systems to suit your needs.
-
Transfer equipment – Helping you move from your wheelchair into the driver’s or passenger seat with ease.
-
Equipment hoists – Lift and load mobility aids such as scooters or powerchairs into your vehicle.
-
Stowage solutions – Safe, convenient storage for mobility equipment while you travel.
At Unique Mobility, all our vehicle adaptations are fitted by our specialist in-house team of engineers, based in our dedicated workshops at each of our South West branches. Our engineers are highly trained and experienced in fitting adaptations from all the leading brands, including Jeff Gosling, Des Gosling, GuidoSimplex, Elap, Mobility in Motion, BraunAbility, Autochair and more — ensuring every installation meets the highest safety and quality standards.
Driving Assessments with Trusted Partners
If you’re unsure which adaptations will work best for you, we can refer you to one of our trusted Driving Assessment partners. These assessments give you the chance to try different driving controls in a safe, supportive environment, helping you make an informed choice.

We know it’s easier to choose the right adaptation when you can see and try it for yourself. That’s why we have Vehicle Adaptation Demo Cars — allowing you to experience a range of controls and features before making a decision.
