"Hovercrafts" are available now and have been.
well hovercrafts hover because all the air the fan is taking in , (well lets just say it pumps it in like blowing in air to a blow up ball) all of the air gets caught and starts to hover and it will only come up a little
why do hover crafts need a fan to make them move
As of 2010, no hover car has ever been made and sold to the general public. There have been hovercrafts built, as well as experimental hover vehicles, but no true hover cars and certainly none for the public at large.

Hovercrafts are used for any transport situation where transition between a body of water and level ground is required or where the use of wheels or track are problematic. Air cushion technology can also be used to reduce friction to a absolute minimum in areas such as manufacturing.
airplanes are the same thing as hovercrafts... but only hovercrafts have a louder engine
Helicopters can hover stationary in the air, but they are not called hovercraft. A hovercraft is a ground based vehicle that rides on a cushion of air that is constantly pumped under a skirt around the base of the vehicle.
Hovercrafts float above a bubble of air formed between the skirt of the hover craft and the surface it is floating over. As long as the surface does not allow the air pressure used to form the bubble to escape from under the hovercraft too quickly it will float over any surface whether it be water, land, or cobblestones. For example it could not float over a drainage grate or with its skirt severely punctured.
