Tips for Choosing a Wheelchair Van

September 30, 2022

If you have a mobility impairment, owning a wheelchair van can make your life a whole lot easier. You’ll be able to get where you need to go with ease. This, in turn, can lead to greater freedom, independence, and quality of life. However, you have to select the right van for you. And, if you’ve been looking for tips for choosing a wheelchair van, Van Products has you covered. In addition to our great advice, we have a wide selection of new and used vans to choose from.

Research Your Options

Before buying a wheelchair van, you should take time to explore all the options available to you. Wheelchair accessible vans are not one size fits all. Instead, they come in many sizes and styles. Deciding what you want upfront, as well as how much you want to spend, can help you narrow down your choices. This can make selecting the right van much easier.

To start, determine whether you want a side-entry or a rear-entry van. Here at Van Products, we offer both. Side-entry vans are a great fit for wheelchair users who drive or share their vehicles with non-disabled drivers or passengers. Rear-entry vans, on the other hand, tend to be more spacious and allow for easier entering and exiting. If you need help deciding which style is best for you, our experienced mobility specialists are always happy to assist you.

Ask About Mobility Features

Many wheelchair van buyers will require specific mobility products in order to successfully operate their vans. For this reason, look for a van that has the mobility features you need. This is particularly important when buying a used wheelchair van. The more features it already has, the less you will have to spend on conversions. With that said, finding the perfect van can be difficult, especially if you have unique needs. That’s why you should also look for a dealer that can equip your van with quality mobility products at affordable prices. At Van Products, we offer a range of features that can be installed on almost any van. These include:

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

Protect Yourself

You deserve to feel confident and secure when you purchase a wheelchair accessible van. Seek out dealers that sell vans made by trusted manufacturers, such as Chrysler, Dodge, Toyota, and Honda. Also, when you buy a used van, make sure it includes a warranty for your protection. For example, we offer a 3-year/36,000 mile warranty on all of our used vans. We also have our own parts department and employ certified technicians who can service and repair your van as needed.

As you can see, choosing the ideal wheelchair van requires some effort on your part. But, if you’re well informed, you can end up with a great van that will serve you well for years to come.
