Wheelchair Accessible Van Rentals in Southern California?

I'm in need of renting a wheelchair accessible van or minivan for my grandfather for one day (for my wedding this Saturday) and due to the time constraints am looking for an option that is close by for pickup and drop-off. I'm located in Hacienda Heights (91745), CA. I know about the options located around LAX and Santa Ana.

Does anyone know any closer options? Anything that would get the job done! Thanks!


I am handicapped myself, and unfortunately the closest accessible van rental is probably the agency in Santa Ana. As stated, the market for this type of vehicle is extremely limited.

Is there a dial-a-ride type of service in your area that could possible offer any help, or perhaps a medical transportation service. I see lots of these vehicles when I go to my many doctor visits. I believe there is a taxi company in Downey (Fiesta Cab) that has an accessible vehicle, but that might be too expensive.

I have a question about scooters and handicapped accessible minivans in Vegas?

Does anyone know where I can rent a scooter and a handicapped accessible minivan in Las Vegas. My mom doesn't walk well and we usually get a wheelchair for her but I think it would be easier on me if we could rent one of those motorized scooters. If anyone knows a scooter rental place and rental car place that has accessible vans, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks


For scooters you should contact this company. They specialize in rentals to tourists. I think they run about $40 a day. You can ask them about a van rental. I am not sure about that.

What are some handicap/wheelchair accessible coupes?

I currently drive a 2-door 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. I enter through the passenger side door and transfer to the drivers seat. I then fold my wheelchair and slide it in the back seat. I am paralyzed from the chest down and have full mobility of my arms, however I do not want to have to enter the drivers side door and take the chair apart. The method I do now is what I would like to do on a future vehicle. I do not want a van or minivan. I would love to buy a nice new car. If you know of any 2-door coupes that meet the requirements of my situation, then please let me know about them.

I think the new Chevy Impala still comes with a bench seat option. It's worth looking into anyway.

Can a Land Rover be made into a handicapped accessible vehicle?????

Want upscale vehicle but am in wheelchair. Need a ramp or lift in order to get into car. Are there any other cars that can be be converted? I presently have a minivan which I dislike.


if you are totally wheelchair bound, then you're pretty much stuck with the van-style vehicles... you need something with a flat floor that will allow you to roll into position behind the wheel.

You could go upscale with a newer custom van...
