As someone that has experienced the inconveniences that a disability can impose, I can sympathize with those that wish never to prevail upon another person ever again for a ride to the local grocery store.  It can also be terribly difficult to get in and out of a regular vehicle, especially when there is a scooter or wheelchair involved.

If you're facing these same difficulties, then it may be time to consider some mobility options that could make your life easier and more independent.  The first choice is the purchase of a wheelchair accessible van.  These come in several different sizes and styles, from a full size conversion van, to a minivan, to a sport utility vehicle.  You can select luxurious handicap vans that offer upgraded interiors and specialized mobility accessories, or you can choose to purchase one of the entry-level models that might be easier on a budget.  No matter the luxury of the vehicle, you can be sure that reputable North Dakota dealers will be sure to include the very best in safety features.

If a new vehicle is entirely out of your price range, you can also look at purchasing a used handicapped accessible van.  These can be just as luxurious as the new models, and many dealers will guarantee the inspection and refurbishment of every vehicle.  Even with the purchase of a used vehicle and extended financing terms, though, a car is a major expenditure.

In cases where a new car is just out of the question, you can also consider wheelchair accessible van rentals for specific needs.  Many North Dakota dealers and rental agencies have wheelchair accessible van rentals available for hourly or even weekly rental.  This will allow you to plan for special trips without needing to rely on others to get you to your destination.

You can find wheelchair accessible van rentals by searching Internet listings for phone book advertisements.  Once you have found a North Dakota agent that meets your needs, do not be afraid to request a demonstration of the equipment on the van.  You should also consider taking the van for a test drive so that you can familiarize yourself with the vehicle before leaving for a long journey.  Your safety and well-being are the most important factors.  When you have made your decision to rent a wheelchair van, you are just one step closer to your independence.
