Lend a WAV?

My CP friend has been asked to speak about Disability and Accessibility at a music festival in Honiton this week. To get there we need a WAV as he is powered wheelchair user. We've looked into hiring one for the weekend but it's prohibitively expensive. Does anyone have a WAV they could lend/hire us to make this dream a possibility? I have a full clean driving licence, I'm a 48-year-old woman, have driven all around Europe in a camper/bus. We are London based but happy to travel to you to collect and drop it off. Happy to pay to go on your insurance for the duration of our lend/hire. Please call me asap on <moderator removed personal details>

Hi and welcome to the community
I'm sorry but this isn't the type of thing we can help with
It is a online forum offering advice and information and support
Part of the forum rules are that for personal safeguarding we do not allow personal information to be published
Is there a community travel service in your area at all
Or maybe the event organisers have a solution -
Oh, that's a shame. Does it work if I take off my telephone number and rephrase my request? The event organisers don't have a solution and I am not aware of a community travel service in my area but I will research it.

It is very expensive to hire a WAV.
My suggestion would be to use the train and then a WAV taxi. That's how I used to get around.Scope

Thanks you Mods.
The WAV would also double as a somewhere dry to sleep overnight. He'll tip his chair back and I'll bed down on some sheepkins and blankets - so train and taxi isn't an option.
