3 Things to Consider When Renting a Wheelchair Van

May 6, 2017

Van Products proudly offers a number of different styles, makes, and models of wheelchair vans for rent (or for purchase). If you’re considering renting a wheelchair van for the first time, the following are some things you should consider first.

3 Considerations When Renting a Wheelchair Van

#1 – The Height of the Wheelchair Van

When it comes to renting a wheelchair van, height matters. Knowing the wheelchair user’s height/weight as well as knowing the dimensions of the wheelchair (or any other mobility equipment) will help you determine how easily you may be able to enter, exit and/or maneuver within the wheelchair van.

Knowing the height of the wheelchair van as well as other dimensions of the wheelchair van will also help you figure out whether a particular make/model of wheelchair van is better suited for your specific mobility needs or whether customizations need to be made.

#2 – Knowing Whether to Rent vs. Buy

Are you recovering from an injury or illness that has left you temporarily disabled? Do you have a family member coming to visit from out of town who is physically disabled or needs special accommodations for getting around?

When researching wheelchair van rentals, it is important to be aware of your situation and what your specific needs may be. You may determine that you only need a temporary solution, or you may find out that it makes more sense to purchase a new or used wheelchair van.

If you’re on the fence about whether to rent versus buy a wheelchair van – or if you’re just not sure , we encourage you to speak with one of our mobility specialists. They’ll walk you through the process of renting a wheelchair van, and they’ll help you determine (based on your situation) whether it makes sense to rent a handicap van.

#3 – Familiarize Yourself with the Wheelchair Van Rental Agreement

This includes items such as: wheelchair van rental restrictions, additional fees and tax rates, and other wheelchair van rental rates and terms.

For instance, many wheelchair van rental agreements have daily, weekly, monthly and special offers. Be aware of any fine print, and make sure you have a list of any questions or concerns you may have – this way you can get them answered before you sign any agreements.

Also make sure you know a little information about the wheelchair van you plan to rent as well as the company renting it to you.

Simple questions to keep in mind:

  • What are the wheelchair van rental rates?
  • How many people can the wheelchair van seat?
  • Will the wheelchair van come with a full tank of gas?
  • What special assistance is offered?
  • Is there a delivery/pick-up service? What’s the cost?
