No, there are many wheel chair vans available that have a wheelchair with them, although it depends on how modern/deluxe of a wheelchair you need. Most people who rent out wheelchair vans realize that if you only need the van temporarily, then you probably don't have your own permanent wheelchair.
Oh yes, there are tons of vendors for those seeking wheel chair vans. AMSVans.com and mobilityvansales.com are two national vendor websites.
I didn't get your location but try looking for medical supply stores and ask if they rent.
Email MyElegantCelebration@yahoo.com They rent chair covers to all 50 states. Their chair covers are only $1.50 each. Good Luck!
You can contact National Car Rental, they usually have the best van rentals.
To rent an all wheel drive vehicle, you can contact car rental companies and specify your preference for an all wheel drive vehicle. You may need to pay an additional fee for this feature. Make sure to provide your driver's license and any other required documents when renting the vehicle.

Craig's or Salvation Army if you can wait for them to pop up or you can rent as many as you need.
Yes ! Those wheel chair vans start out at about 100.00 per day - 2000.00 per month as far as rentals go. You may be better off renting a car at about 25.00 - 75.00 per day to save some cash.
There are quite a few companies available to provide tables and chairs for rent. Most of them can be found on the Internet. Some of them are: furniturehireuk.co.uk, www.abcrental.com, www.partytimeplus.com etc.
The general answer is unfortunately no. Many companies (AVIS, Hertz, and Enterprise) will rent cars with transfer boards, hand controls, and swivel seats, but don't provide for specific wheel chair vans. A smaller company called Wheelchair Getaways has a service that has some locations that you can reserve a van in some cities across the US, but is very limited. They will your best bet.
The main advantage is that you can have access to the features of a wheelchair van if you can't get your own van to your location easily (e.g. you've flown to another country). If you can get your own van there, I would, just because wheelchair van rentals are so expensive.
You have to remove the steering wheel. You will need a steering wheel puller that is fairly cheap to buy or rent.
