Which to rent: a side entry or rear entry handicap van?

AMS Vans modifies, sells and rents both side and rear entry wheelchair vans. If you are renting a handicap van for the first time, there are just a few things to consider when deciding which one best fits your needs. The AMS Legend is a good choice if the wheelchair user would like a front row passenger seat or the option of middle of the van seating. The Legend delivers both. This wheelchair van will seat up to 5 people, including up to 2 wheelchair users. And the motorized ramp makes access to and from the van a snap.

The AMS Edge or Edge II are also great options. Both these wheelchair van models have ADA-certified openings. On these model vans, wheelchair users are accommodated in the back of the vehicle. The Edge II's Long Channel design will actually fit 2 wheelchairs. Both vans fit up to 5 passengers. If finding handicapped parking spaces is an issue, the Edge and Edge II are good choices. The rear-entry design of both these handicapped vans allows you to park and open the ramp from a non-handicapped parking space.

Regardless of the model you choose, all rental handicap vans are constructed with the same attention to detail and stringent safety measures. Prices are the same for all models and delivery is available to your front door. Plus, all handicapped vans come with heavy-duty Q'Straint tie downs, to keep your wheelchair safe and stable while on the road. Our vans are equipped with an extra long 55" ramp, to make access for wheelchairs easy, without the added burden of a kneeling system. They are easy to drive and park, and we don't simply hand you the keys. One of our mobility professionals will show you how to operate the accessibility features to ensure that you are comfortable driving your handicap van. Still not sure which model would work for you?
