America’s best selection of custom conversion SUVs, minivans and full-sized vans and adaptive solutions for wheelchair users
Conversion vans that are designed to be handicap accessible provide both durability and comfort to individuals living with disabilities and mobility restrictions. Being able to travel and get around easily is often something people take for granted.
Many people don’t really stop and consider what it takes to get from point A to point B. But when you’re a wheelchair user, the word “mobility” takes on a whole new meaning.
Despite the challenges faced by wheelchair users, a handicap mobility van can provide an easy and comfortable way to get around, allowing you to maintain more of your independence and freedom. Today’s handicap mobility vehicles are more durable and better equipped for both access and transportation.
“This is my 13th RV. I was fortunate to find this gem of a company! We actually completed the entire transaction over the phone and emails. Final result was a fair price, both on purchase and on trade in. I found a few little replacement parts needed and Nancy took care of them all. Marty in service answered all of my questions the same day. Jordan, in sales, was responsive, fair and equitable. All in all, a most positive experience. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. Ron V. Riverside, California”

Modern handicap vehicles: More freedom, more mobility
Mobility vans have, of course, always been wheelchair accessible. Unlike decades past, where a cumbersome manual lift was all that was available, today’s models have much more advanced technology that allows for easier and improved accessibility for people living with disabilities.
With lowered floors and hi-top ceilings, many of today’s newer models allow you or your loved one to stay comfortably seated while entering, driving and exiting the vehicle. Some lift models fold away to the side or into the floor, allowing more room for other passengers. Power doors allow you to get in your mobility van with just the touch of a button.
Classic Vans has a huge inventory of customized mobility vans and wheelchair lift vans for sale online from a variety of manufacturers (VMI, BraunAbility, Ricon Lift) and models (Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, Honda and Toyota). Furthermore, our mobility van specialists can add hand controls, EZ Lock and other driving aids tailored to your specific mobility needs.
In addition to superior accessibility and drivability, today’s wheelchair-accessible camper vans also come with a wide range of options, some of which can include:
- Rear sofa bed
- Flat-panel TV with DVD
- Front/rear heat and air conditioning
- Quick-release captain’s chairs
- Vista bay windows with slider screens and blinds
- And more…
Regardless of whether you’re searching for a basic model to serve your special mobility needs or a luxurious handicap camper van with all the cutting-edge features, we want to ensure that both you and your passengers are able to enjoy the smoothest, most comfortable ride.
How to choose the best mobility vehicle
Deciding on which handicap-accessible vehicle is right for you depends on your unique needs and wants.
For instance, are you more interested in function and affordability? Do you want a luxurious full-size van that can easily fit your equipment and passengers or a more compact mini-mobility van that’s easier to maneuver and park and has better fuel economy? Does the driver’s seat need to be able to accommodate a person in a wheelchair or with a disability? Would you prefer rear-entry or side-entry?
Before buying your new or used mobility van, it’s important to consider these factors as well as what features matter most to you and your family—size, safety, comfort, luxury, MPG, accessibility, etc. Our mobility van specialists at Classic Vans are happy to help you answer these questions and determine which handicap vehicle is best for you.
When choosing a mobility van, it boils down to 2 main options: a full-size van or a wheelchair minivan.
Mobility van comparison: Full-size vs. mini
Full-size mobility vans available through Classic Vans are built on either the Ford Econoline or Chevy 1500 van chassis. Full-size models from both Ford and Chevy come equipped with a durable and powerful V8 engine and can accommodate up to 7 passengers.
Full-size mobility van benefits include:
- More space & headroom
- Additional passengers
- Stronger engine power
- Higher weight allowances
If you’re searching for an easier to navigate option, mini mobility van models like the Toyota Sienna, Dodge Caravan, Honda EX-L and the Chrysler Town & Country provide a cost-effective transportation option for you and your family.
Mini mobility van benefits include:
- Affordability
- Maneuverability
- Fuel economy
- Adaptability & flexibility

Handicap SUVs
If you’d like to explore mobility solutions beyond the traditional van, consider expanding your search to include wheelchair SUVs for sale. Sport utility vehicles like the Ford Explorer are now being adapted for wheelchair use, offering a sleeker, more compact alternative.
However, it’s essential to understand the specific characteristics of a handicap SUV before making a decision.
Wheelchair-accessible SUVs are less common compared to other larger vehicles modified for mobility access, so they may be harder to find. They typically provide space for a wheelchair passenger who either plans to drive or occupy the front passenger seat, so be sure to consider if that would fit your needs.
One notable drawback of a converted handicap SUV is the safety concern related to stability. SUVs have a higher tendency to tip over compared to vans. This risk might vary depending on the wheelchair’s weight, affecting the overall safety liability.
When it comes to drivability and parking, SUVs generally perform well, offering ease of navigation. However, space is a crucial factor when using your lift to exit the vehicle. You might encounter challenges in tighter parking spots, making entry and exit more difficult.
Lastly, when opting for a wheelchair-equipped SUV, the choice of lift is critical. For most SUVs, side-entry lifts are the only feasible option due to safety considerations. If your disability requires additional equipment or if you prefer a rear-entry lift for convenience, an SUV might not be right for you.

Many newly converted Honda Pilot mini-wheelchair vehicles boast an affordable VMI Northstar retractable side wheelchair ramp for ease of entry/exit.

When it comes to handicap-ready minivans, the Chrysler Town & Country wheelchair conversion is known for being extremely well-equipped, with notable options including navigation, leather, TV, power front seats and more.
In new models, both side doors are power open and close. Also, the van lowers and releases the ramp to allow easy access to the comfortable and sleek interior. The wheelchair can be secured in the center of the van.
Honda Odyssey
Honda Odyssey wheelchair minivans often come equipped with a ramp that moves and stores in the interior floor. Push a button, and the door automatically powers open.
Many Odyssey vans also drop to ground level, and the ramp moves out from the floorboard so a wheelchair can be easily moved into the passenger compartment and secured. Once in, the door is closed, and off you go!

FAQs
Can you convert an SUV to be wheelchair accessible?
Yes, it’s possible to convert an SUV to be wheelchair accessible, though the process can be more complex than converting a van.
These conversions typically involve modifying the vehicle to include features like a ramp or lift, often with a side-entry design due to space constraints. The interior may also be reconfigured to accommodate a wheelchair, usually allowing space for the wheelchair user to either drive or sit in the front passenger seat.
However, it’s important to note that SUVs have certain limitations in terms of space and stability compared to traditional wheelchair-accessible vans, so careful consideration of the specific needs of the wheelchair user and the vehicle’s capabilities is essential before undertaking such a conversion.
How much does it cost to convert a van to wheelchair-accessible?
The cost of converting a van to be wheelchair-accessible can vary widely based on several factors. Generally, the price range for such conversions falls between $15,000 to $30,000 or more. Key factors influencing the cost include:
- The type of van
- The nature of the modifications needed
- The choice between a ramp or a lift
- The level of customization required for the user’s specific needs
Basic conversions might involve installing a simple manual ramp and necessary tie-downs, which are on the lower end of the cost spectrum. More advanced conversions, which include automatic ramps or lifts, lowered floors for more headroom, and extensive interior modifications for easier maneuverability and comfort, can be significantly more expensive.
Additionally, costs can also differ depending on whether you’re modifying a new van or retrofitting an older model. Newer vans might require fewer structural modifications but can be more expensive upfront. In contrast, older vans might need more extensive work but could be more cost-effective if the base vehicle is less expensive.
Does Medicare cover wheelchair-accessible vehicles?
Medicare generally does not cover the cost of wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Medicare typically covers equipment and services that are considered medically necessary, such as wheelchairs and certain home modifications. However, a vehicle is considered a personal item, and the costs associated with purchasing, modifying or maintaining a wheelchair-accessible vehicle are usually not covered.
However, some organizations offer financial assistance for mobility vehicles through grants, and there are also different financing options we can help you explore. Our goal is to make the process of acquiring a wheelchair-accessible vehicle as smooth and affordable as possible.
How much are wheelchair accessible vans?
Wheelchair-accessible vans generally range from $20,000 to over $100,000, depending on a number of factors, including whether the van is new or used. You can typically expect to pay at least $10,000 more for a conversion van than you would for the same van without a conversion.
Used wheelchair vans are typically more affordable, starting around $20,000, while new models with advanced modifications can even exceed $100,000. The price is influenced by the type of van (minivan vs. full-size), the type of accessibility modifications (side or rear-entry ramps), and additional features like power lifts or hand controls.
Other factors impacting the price include the age and condition of the van, the quality of the conversion, and whether the vehicle is custom-built.
How much is a van with a wheelchair lift?
A van with a wheelchair lift typically ranges from $30,000 to $70,000, depending on several factors such as whether the van is new or used, its size, and the specific features included. The cost of the wheelchair lift itself can vary significantly, typically adding anywhere from $2,000 to $20,000 to the overall price, depending on whether it’s a manual or automatic lift and the complexity of the installation.
Where can you sell a handicap accessible van?
There are several places to sell a handicap-accessible van. You can start by listing it on popular online marketplaces like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or eBay Motors, which give you direct access to potential buyers in your area or across the country.
Another option is to sell the van to a handicap dealer, like Classic Vans, which specializes in accessible vehicles. Selling to a specialized dealer can streamline the process, as they understand the value of the modifications and can offer a fair market price. Additionally, they can save you time by handling the paperwork and eliminating the need to find a buyer yourself.
