WSIS Prizes Contest 2019 Nominee

Wheeliz


Description

Wheeliz is a collaborative platform of the sharing economy that makes it possible for people in a wheelchair to rent an adapted vehicle from a private individual or a company. Wheeliz is the first website to provide peer-to-peer wheelchair user adapted car rentals. Finding a vehicle equipped with a ramp or a car with an adapted driver's system is now possible, throughout France and at minimal cost! Created in 2015, the website offers individual owners of an adapted car the possibility of renting it directly to a wheelchair user who needs it.
With Wheeliz you'll have access to the largest fleet of vehicles adapted for disabled travelers, and all at the lowest rates.
Wheeliz was selected as the best social innovation project by the European Commission and has won multiple awards including the APAJH Trophy, the Moovjee Civic Engagement trophy, the Reporters of Hope Prize, the Startup & Handicap prize for their favorite project, the Handi-Entrepreneur trophy, and more.
