How to Test Drive a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle—Even From Home

A woman in a wheelchair uses a ramp to exit a red minivan while another woman stands nearby holding keys. They are outside a house.

Buying a wheelchair accessible vehicle is a big decision, and taking a test drive is an important part of any vehicle-buying process. For many people, getting to a dealership or finding a way to test drive a vehicle can be tough. That’s why MobilityWorks makes it easy to try out accessible vehicles—whether in person or from your home.

Why a Test Drive Matters

Just like any car, a wheelchair accessible van needs to fit your needs. Things like ramp location, space inside, seating options and special driving controls can make a big difference. A test drive helps you make sure your wheelchair fits in the vehicle, see how easy it is to get in and out and get a feel for how comfortable and easy it is to drive the vehicle.

Test Driving at MobilityWorks

If you want to test drive in person, visiting a MobilityWorks location is a great option. Our team can show you different models, explain the features and help you find the right fit. When you visit, bring your wheelchair or mobility device to see if it fits, try different ramps to find what works best, explore seating options for passengers and storage space, and either drive the vehicle yourself or have a caregiver test it out.

Can’t Visit? We’ll Come to You!

We know not everyone can physically get to one of our locations. That’s why MobilityWorks offers at-home test drives in some areas. A Certified Mobility Consultant can bring the vehicle to your home so you can see if it works for you right in your driveway. This is especially helpful for people who have trouble traveling, those recovering from surgery or an injury and families who want to see how the vehicle works in their daily lives.

Virtual Tours and Video Calls

If you can’t test drive in person, MobilityWorks also offers virtual tours and video calls. Our team can show you different vehicles over a video call, explain features that match your needs, and answer questions about costs, customization and financing. With clear video tours, you can get a close look at the vehicle without leaving home.

Find the Right Vehicle for You

Whether you visit us in person, schedule an at-home test drive or do a virtual tour, MobilityWorks makes the process easy. Our goal is to help you find a vehicle that gives you more freedom and fits your lifestyle.
