Wheelchair Accessible Van Rentals for Persons with Disability

Definition

Wheelchair Accessible Van

A wheelchair-accessible van is a vehicle that has been modified by increasing the internal size of the vehicle and equipping it with a means of wheelchair entry, such as a wheelchair ramp or powered lift. There are two types of entry configurations: side-entry and rear-entry. The entry location impacts wheelchair seating positions, parking options, the ability to accommodate other passengers, and storage availability. Modifications fall into two categories; the first is where the individual in a wheelchair is the driver, and the second is where the individual in a wheelchair is a passenger.

This new initiative offers significant advantages to those with physical disabilities, including the innovative drop-off and pick-up service for customer convenience.

Kersey Mobility now offers wheelchair van rentals that can be used for several different needs. For instance, a rental can be enormously convenient if customers have to take their mobility vehicle in for service or repairs. Of course, it can also be beneficial for those with visiting family who have mobility needs - an accessible rental van ensures that anyone with a physical disability can travel in safety.

Kersey Mobility also offers wheelchair-accessible van rentals for those who want to "try before they buy." For anyone considering the purchase of a wheelchair-accessible van, it's important to make an informed decision. By renting an accessible van before signing a purchase agreement, they can determine what mobility equipment, floor plan, and other modifications they may require.

Upon request, Kersey Mobility can bring the wheelchair van to the customer's location and drop it off. They can return and pick it up when the rental period is over. This provides added convenience by eliminating the hassle of arranging transportation to and from the dealership.

All wheelchair van rentals are completely ADA compliant. Customers must provide proof of insurance, be at least 21, and have a valid driver's license. The rates offered on wheelchair van rentals vary based on rental duration and mileage.
