What Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles To Buy

Very few people with disabilities require identical modifications. After you receive your assessment from your physician, physical therapist and Certified Dealer Rehabilitation Specialist (CDRS), locate a mobility equipment dealer that can provide modifications and adaptive equipment to get you on the road to independence. Costs for buying a wheelchair accessible van or handicap car can be expensive so consider both used and new vehicles. Deal only with reputable dealerships, like members of NMEDA and stay away from anything that sounds “too good to be true.”

NMEDA dealers offer individual in-person evaluations, on-site local support for sales and service, factory supported warranty systems and 24-hour local emergency service by their quality assurance program technicians.

The following pages take a look at some of the specific product solutions that are available to you as someone who uses a wheelchair or scooter and wants to drive. Always consult a NMEDA mobility equipment dealer who will work closely with a certified driver rehabilitation specialist to determine the proper driving equipment for your needs.
