Persons with disabilities often have a difficult time relying on others for help and transportation. There is no doubt, though, that being able to drive yourself around can remove some of that tied-down feeling, and give you back some of your freedom and independence. There are many options for mobility vehicles, and any one of the choices will serve to make your life easier and feel more complete.
Your first choice is to purchase a mobility scooter. These can offer long battery lives and rugged wheels that will make trips of over a mile easy, so you can do your own grocery shopping and run your own errands. If you need to travel further than that, however, you will need to look at larger options. The very top of the list is a handicap van.
Handicap vans come in several sizes and styles, from full size conversion vans to minivans and even sport utility vehicles. They are regular vehicles that have been converted to make transporting wheelchairs and scooters easier on the disabled. Many of them will come equipped with electric wheelchair and scooter lifts, as well as mobility accessories such as hand controls and seat transfers.
You can certainly find plenty of handicap vans that will fit into your budget. There are, of course, many different styles and sizes. Some are luxuriously appointed with upgraded interiors and additional features. If that is outside of your price range, you consider one of the more functional models. You can even purchase used handicap vans, and rest assured that they have all been inspected and refurbished to offer the very best in safety.
If you need more than a scooter, but still cannot afford to purchase a new or used handicap van, then you can consider renting a mobility vehicle for specific outings. These can be reserved for weekends or even full weeks at a time, which make them the perfect choice for vacation or family trips. You can find handicap vans for rent with several dealers, but it may take just a bit of research. Usually a quick look on the Internet can supply you with several names, or you can find advertisements in the phone book. The important thing is that you find your own way to assert your independence. With a handicap van, you will be able to get back on the road and headed toward freedom.
