Step 1: Understand your lifestyle.
Before choosing a mobility solution, take a moment to reflect on your daily routine:
- How much space is available at home for a ramp?
- How often do you leave home? How far do you generally drive?
- Are your most frequent destinations accessible?
- Is there more than one wheelchair user in your household?
- How many people are generally in your vehicle at one time?
These answers will help determine the type of vehicle and equipment that best suits your lifestyle.
Step 2: Set a realistic budget.
Mobility solutions are an investment in your independence. Consider:
- Down payment and monthly payments
- Insurance and fuel costs
- Annual maintenance and service
- Whether to buy new, used, or adapt your current vehicle
We’ll help you find the right solution within your budget – without compromising safety or quality.
