What to Consider When Purchasing a Wheelchair Van

When purchasing a wheelchair van, it's important to find the best vehicle for your needs, preferences, and budget. Here are five questions to consider when purchasing a wheelchair van.

1. What kind of mobility van do I need?There are several models of wheelchair vans on the market to choose from. First, you must decide exactly what type of handicap accessible vehicle you are looking for, and whether to go with an American model or one manufactured overseas. Will a minivan be sufficient or do you need the space provided by a full-sized conversion van?   
2. What are the most important features for my needs? When purchasing a wheelchair van pay close attention to all the features and available options. Remember to stay focused on the features that you need the most. Do not get caught up with options that you may never use. Do you intend to be the driver of the vehicle, a passenger, or both? This will make a difference in which type of wheelchair van you should purchase. 
3. What can I afford? Wheelchair accessible vehicles can be expensive. Before meeting with a dealer, know exactly what you can afford and be willing to shop around. Consider all discounts, specials, and dealer incentives. There are a lot of great bargains available, and many companies, such as the Automotive Innovations, are willing to work within your budget. 
4. Where should I buy my wheelchair accessible van? This is one of the most important questions to consider when purchasing a mobility van. Select a company that has a great reputation, excellent customer service, a fairly large supply of vehicles to choose from, and a solid warranty program. Make sure the sales representatives are knowledgeable and able to answer your questions. They should show genuine concern in helping you find the right van for your needs.
5. How will I finance my wheelchair van? Finance options include standard loans from banks and credit unions, and company lending departments. Financial aid in the form of grants and reimbursements may also be available. Buying a used mobility van is another option for reducing expenses.
