Things to Look For When Buying a Handicap Conversion Van

Imagine being the owner of the perfect handicap conversion van this year… Your dream to suit your mobility needs can become a reality. Or maybe you’re looking for handicap accessible vans for rent since your grandparents are coming into town for a visit. No matter what the reason, we’re here to help you choose the best option for your needs.

What are the top three features in handicap conversion vans?

For starters, there is a lowered floor ramp which can help wheelchair users glide into the vehicle. Hassle free. There’s no need to get out of the wheelchair. This is the best feature for transporting wheelchair users on a daily basis.

Although, what if you or your spouse needs hand controls to drive themselves? The second top feature for handicap vans are hand controls. From steering wheels to brakes and touchpads, hand controls create the driving freedom wheelchair users need. Plus, hand controls are not a permanent set up. If the van needs to be driven by someone else, they can easily hop in and drive it as usual.

The last top feature in a handicap conversion vehicle is a transfer seat. Transfer seats allow wheelchair or scooter users hop into the driver’s seat. Depending on your home set up, this is a great feature to have when home alone. For hard to reach vehicles due to height or parking areas, a transfer seat makes it easier to drive independently. Other vans also include front passenger seat accommodations for wheelchairs as well as tie downs for different size chairs.

Adapting can be difficult in many circumstances but what if a handicap van changed your life by giving you freedom and independence? We carry various models for rent or for purchase. From a Dodge Caravan to a Chrysler Pacifica or a Toyota Sienna, check out the video below brought to you by our partner: BraunAbility.
