Wheelchair Van Financing & Rebates Texas & SW Louisiana

Easy to Apply For Your Wheelchair Van Loan & Attractive Terms

Locating sources of funding to adapt or purchase a new vehicle can sometimes be more of a challenge than selecting the vehicle itself! Success often depends on knowing where to look.

American Lift Aids will help guide you in your search, but it's important that you recognize funding opportunities that could be unique to your circumstances. For example: if you are a veteran, the Veteran Administration may have programs that cover all or part of your expenses, depending on the nature of your disability.

Other state offices, including the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation or the Division of Developmental Services, should also be asked to assess your eligibility for additional funding. And, of course, your insurance or workman's compensation policies may include coverage for your type of disability.

Understanding Mobility Rebates Programs

Many vehicle manufacturers are increasingly recognizing the need for accessible transportation and offering mobility rebates or reimbursement programs. These programs aim to help individuals with disabilities offset the cost of installing adaptive equipment to their vehicles. While the specifics vary greatly between manufacturers, the overarching goal is to promote greater independence and accessibility for drivers and passengers with mobility challenges. Understanding these programs requires research and careful consideration of eligibility requirements and equipment limitations.

The Benefits of Mobility Assistance Programs

The primary benefit is, of course, financial assistance. The amount of the rebate can significantly reduce the out-of-pocket expense of adaptive equipment, which can easily run into thousands of dollars. Each vehicle manufacturer offers a mobility assistance program with a capped benefit amount. This amount typically ranges from $500 to $1,500, varying depending on the vehicle brand. Below are links to mobility assistance programs offered by popular vehicle manufacturers.

Typical Mobility Equipment Eligible for Rebates

The equipment typically eligible for rebates generally includes a range of adaptive devices. Common examples are:

• Wheelchair Lifts
• Scooter Lifts
• Vehicles With Conversions
• Hand Controls
• Transfer Seats

Some programs might also cover specialized lighting or communication devices designed to aid drivers with limited mobility. It’s crucial to note that not all modifications are eligible, and manufacturers usually specify a list of approved equipment and vendors. Cosmetic modifications or non-essential upgrades are unlikely to qualify.

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for this program, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Proof of purchase for a new vehicle usually within the last 6 months.
• Possession of documentation from an authorized Mobility Dealer. This documentation must clearly detail the adaptive equipment installed and include a paid invoice.

The Rebate Process: How to Apply and Receive Funds

In some cases this rebate can be taken out at time of purchase and in others you have to wait for it to come in the mail after purchase. Please feel free to call us if you would like more information about these options. The application process generally involves the following steps.

Important Considerations and Potential Limitations

Before pursuing a mobility rebate, be aware of potential limitations. Rebate amounts are often capped, meaning you won't receive a rebate for the full cost of the equipment. The equipment must be professionally installed by a certified dealer, and modifications must adhere to safety standards and manufacturer specifications. Furthermore, rebates are typically non-transferable and must be applied toward the purchase or lease of a new vehicle. Read the program terms and conditions very carefully to avoid disappointment.
