Accessibility Statement
Last updated: 5 July 2026
Our commitment
carrental-nearme.com is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
What we have implemented
- Keyboard navigation — all interactive elements (links, buttons, form fields) are reachable and operable using a keyboard alone. A visible skip-to-content link appears at the top of every page when focused.
- Alternative text — all meaningful images carry descriptive
altattributes; decorative images use an emptyalt=""so screen readers skip them. - Colour contrast — text and interactive elements meet the WCAG 2.1 AA minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
- Semantic landmarks — pages use HTML5 landmark elements (
<header>,<nav>,<main>,<footer>) and a logical heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3) to aid screen-reader navigation. - Language and reading direction — each page declares its language and text direction via the
langanddirattributes on the<html>element, supporting both left-to-right (English, French, Spanish, Russian) and right-to-left (Hebrew, Arabic) interfaces. - Form labels — all form inputs in the car-search widget are associated with visible
<label>elements. The search button carries a descriptive accessible name. - Responsive design — pages reflow correctly when text is zoomed up to 200% and adapt to small screens without horizontal scrolling.
- Cookie consent — the cookie-consent dialog uses
role="dialog"andaria-labelso assistive technologies announce it correctly.
Known limitations
We are an independent comparison and referral site. When you follow an affiliate link to a third-party supplier (such as DiscoverCars), you leave our site and the accessibility of that destination is outside our control.

Technical information
This site is built as static HTML with progressive enhancement. It does not require JavaScript for core content — the comparison tables, prices, and editorial text are all server-rendered. JavaScript is used only for the interactive search widget, the cookie-consent banner, and optional analytics (which load only after explicit consent).
Standards and assessment
This statement was prepared on 5 July 2026 and is reviewed whenever significant content or functionality changes are made. Our self-assessment is based on the WCAG 2.1 specification.
