Using a
travel companion is something that some travelers are forced to do
because of their disability. Others like to use travel companions to
have a friend along to share their travel experience with. Regardless
of which category you fit in, there are some great travel companion
companies/websites that will assist you in finding that perfect match
for you and your trip. While the companies below provide only travel companions,
you may want to contact one of our tour
operators that provide group tours with travel companions or
caretakers included.
Travel companions can have
widely varying tasks ranging from assisting loading and unloading your electric wheelchair or
mobility scooter to just giving you a hand navigating unavoidable staircases
and are indispensable with some tours.
FYI - DisabledTravelers.com does
not have its own travel companion service. Below are links to
companies that do. Some specialize in providing travel companions for
disabled travelers but most are general travel companion companies for
everyone.
Please share your experiences with us on the
Travel Reviews page.
