Whether you’re a family caregiver or a professional, owning a wheelchair-accessible van can greatly improve mobility for those you care for. Here are some tips to help you find the right van at the right price:
1. Assess Your Needs: Consider whether rear- or side-entry access would work best for your situation. Rear entry is ideal for larger wheelchairs, while side entry offers versatility in seating arrangements.
2. Shop Smart: Look for wheelchair van dealerships online and nearby to find options within your budget. Explore mobility classifieds for more choices.
3. Know Your Budget: Understand the price levels in the market, ranging from new vans with new conversions to used vans with new or used conversions. Certified-used vans can offer quality at a reasonable price.
4. Understand Features: Familiarize yourself with kneeling systems that make entry and exit easier. Consider whether costly features like this are necessary for your needs.
5. Ask Questions: Before buying, inquire about warranties, delivery options, and post-sale services such as nationwide conversion assistance and buy-back programs.
By keeping these tips in mind, you can find the best wheelchair van for your needs without overspending.
