Living with a handicap that confines you to a wheelchair does not have to be the end of your adventures on the road.
Even though you might think your days of driving and traveling are behind you, with handicap accessible vehicles your journey is just beginning.
These vehicles have many styles and options that you can choose, and you will find that they offer something for just about everyone.
Of course, you will want to do your research to make sure you get the right disabled accessible van for your particular needs.
How do you know what type of vehicle you need? If this is the first handicap accessible vehicle that you are buying, you may have quite a few questions.
The best thing to do is to find a reputable dealership in your area that has a knowledgeable staff that can help answer all of your questions.
The best dealerships will have online sites that have answers to many of those questions, and they will have a phone number so you can speak directly to one of their representatives.
If the mobility dealership is located close enough to you, it is a good idea to visit them and see the vans in person.
The sales agents will be able to tell you about the different features that each of the vans has and they will let you take a test drive.
Make sure that you try out all of the features in the van, including the controls for the ramp, and see how easily the seats remove.
Check to see what kind of financing they offer, and ask if they offer used vehicles.
You can find some great accessible vehicles that are only a few years old.
Buying used can save you thousands of dollars.
Those who are not in a wheelchair but who use mobility scooters as their mode of transportation will find that they can also benefit from these vans.
Some of the vans have scooter lifts available so you will be able to load your scooter and take it with you when you go on vacation or when you head down to the mall.
It makes traveling much easier and far more convenient.
Making sure that you have a great vehicle that can accommodate your wheelchair will open up a whole new world of possibilities.
Take life by the hand and lead it to where you want to go!
