My recommendation (what I did for 7 years) is to find
someone or several someone's that your parents can train to drive the way they
want and pay them a nominal hourly fee to chauffeur you. I had 3 main
friends that my parents trained on use of my/our van.
I now offer $8/hr (pick what you can afford, I also barter
for rides) to any of about a dozen people to chauffeur me when my van is in
the shop and I'm stuck in a rental.
Good luck! The 'rents are always a tough nut to crack
;)

What do you guys do for transportation? I have the unfortunate fact that I have OI (Brittle Bones) and that I'm a Quad (Paralyzed from the neck down). My parent's own a Ford conversion van with a lift that we take out as a family but my parents won't let my nurses drive. I take Medicare transportation to school and doctor appointments. That's the only places I can go to unless my parents drive me. I don't like bugging me parents. Any suggestions?
