Wheelchair-Accessible Vans

Wheelchair-accessible vans are fitted with either a lift or a ramp. The passenger is rolled into the vehicle still seated in the wheelchair. The wheelchair is then locked or tied into place to prevent movement. This allows for easy transport of passengers with mobility aids. Not having to get out of the mobility device allows for a more comfortable, dignified experience for many. For those who have limited mobility, a handicap-accessible vehicle can make a big difference in their daily lives.

Financing a Wheelchair-Accessible Van

A new wheelchair-accessible van can be a big expenditure. For those who cannot afford a new, adapted vehicle, there are several options to help reduce cost:

• Buy a used vehicle instead of a new one. This can save thousands of dollars. Most used vehicles (from a dealer) will still come with a warranty and will have plenty of years' worth of service left in them.
• Apply for a rebate. Both manufacturers and government programs offer rebate programs for those who get their vehicles converted. Veterans' groups also offer assistance to those who qualify.
• Have a vehicle that you already own converted. This is substantially cheaper than purchasing a new vehicle. Another advantage to this is familiarity with the vehicle.
