Side-Entry Vs. Rear-Entry Wheelchair Vans

January 19, 2023

When you have a mobility impairment, owning a wheelchair van can make traveling and transportation much simpler. However, there are many wheelchair accessible vans to choose from. These vans come in a variety of sizes and styles and can be equipped with multiple features. You’ll also have to decide if you want a side-entry van or a rear-entry van. At Van Products, we offer both side-entry and rear-entry wheelchair vans. Additionally, we employ qualified mobility specialists that can help you select the best option for your lifestyle and your needs.

Side-Entry Wheelchair Vans

Often, people want to know the pros and cons between side-entry vs. rear-entry wheelchair vans. However, both are great options. It’s really just about choosing the van that’s right for you. With that said, side-entry vans are a popular choice. That’s because they offer easy, convenient entry from the side of the vehicle using an in-floor or fold-out ramp or lift. These vans also come in a range of floor and seating plans and can allow wheelchair users to sit in the front seat or, in some cases, drive the van themselves. They come with lowered floors, which means more headroom and increased comfort. Furthermore, they typically offer more storage room and more space in general as compared to rear-entry vans.

Rear-Entry Wheelchair Vans

As opposed to side-entry wheelchair vans, rear-entry vans work well for individuals who do not need to access the front seat of the vehicle. They are a great choice for those who prefer to be a passenger, instead of a driver, and feature an abundance of interior space. They are also affordable and can be used with a variety of lifts and ramps. Plus, they allow you to park in almost any spot without requiring sufficient room on both sides of the vehicle. As long as the back is clear, you can enter and exit with ease. You’ll also enjoy greater ground clearance for a smooth riding experience.

Customization Options

When it comes to deciding between side-entry vs. rear-entry handicap vans, the choice is yours. However, rest assured that, no matter which option you choose, you can equip it with quality mobility features from Van Products. Just a few of the many options we offer include:

  • Power ramps
  • 4 point wheelchair tie-down systems
  • Hand controls
  • And much more
