    While we look into green options for our cars, we are trialling a 5 series BMW Hybrid, its a lovely marque to look at, and if you ask most of the boys 'it drives nicely' aswell. It looks and feels comfy with full leather pack, heated seats and mood lighting, and great sound system. It took nearly a week to work out the electric charging system, and the boot doesn't even fit a suitcase, so while it may be great for taking Ethel and Charlie to Tescos, or a visit to Leysdown for you and the kids (Anything for peace in the summer holidays) getting you to the airport for your summer holidays is not going to happen in this car. Best we take you in the Audi, Hyundai, or Skoda estates, or one of our ford Galaxys!

    Review on this so far, is its jolly nice but we don't think it suits our needs to look after our customers!

    For many people who use a wheelchair, a simple task such as going shopping or to a Dr's appointment is a nightmare, bus services on the island are patchy at best, and the only other option would be to book a taxi and ensure there was enough space in the boot of the car for the wheel chair, and ask for assistance to get out of the chair and into the vehicle, and that’s assuming they can transfer, these sort of obstacles can take away peoples independence, if your wheelchair bound, then the anchors are well laid into the ground preventing users from getting out and enjoying the area!

    From day one that has been something Neil and Jan have wanted to change and something they have acted on, as a result iCars have several vehicles available to customers, and since they have come into use we have a legion of delighted customers, we have eliminated the indignity of transferring a customer from their chair into a car, now the car pulls up the ramp slides out and in you go, travelling in your own chair, and there is no extra charge for this service!
