Getting Started With Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles

If you’re beginning your search for a wheelchair accessible vehicle, it starts with understanding your mobility needs and what type of vehicle will fit your lifestyle and budget. Our MobilityWorks team is here to guide you through the most important considerations from vehicle size and entry type to financing, rentals and long-term comfort.

Key things to consider when choosing a wheelchair accessible vehicle:

  • Vehicle size (minivan, full-size van, SUV conversions)
  • Side-entry vs. rear-entry
  • Ramp or lift type
  • Seating layout and transfer needs
  • Budget, financing, and available payment options
  • Whether you need a short-term rental or a long-term vehicle

A Certified Mobility Consultant will evaluate your requirements, demonstrate different conversion types, and help you compare options so you choose the right accessible vehicle on the first try.

Understanding Your Mobility Needs

Buying a wheelchair accessible vehicle is a big decision, and many clients aren’t sure where to begin. That’s why we offer personalized, face-to-face consultations focused on listening and understanding your mobility needs. This approach helps us find the right mobility solution for your physical capabilities, lifestyle and travel needs.

Our free mobility needs assessment is available whether you’re ready to buy now or just exploring your options. During your consultation, a Certified Mobility Consultant will evaluate your wheelchair, seating preferences, driving or caregiving setup, and budget. You’ll receive clear recommendations, a complete Needs Analysis, and an explanation of financing and funding options that fit your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Accessible Vehicles

What’s the difference between a side-entry and rear-entry accessible vehicle?

The best accessible vehicle choice for you depends on a variety of factors, such as whether a wheelchair user or caregiver will be driving the vehicle, personal preferences, and more. Side-entry vehicles are popular among wheelchair users who plan to drive their vehicle, while rear-entry vehicles are ideal for caregivers or wheelchair users who will ride as passengers. Side-entry vehicles also improve driver/passenger access and curbside loading while rear-entry vehicles can be cost‑effective and flexible for parking.
