When buying a wheelchair van so that I may transport a handicapped individual, what essential things should I look for when it comes to buying the van?

Be sure that the door opening is wide enough to accommodate the wheelchair patient comfortably. Look for a lower wheelbase or be sure that a ramp can accommodate the elevation to the door.

What is the easiest way to transport a wheelchair?
There are many different ways to transport wheelchairs. Each person will find that they have a different expectation of what makes a certain way of transporting a wheelchair, the easiest. One way to transport a wheelchair, that many people may find is the easiest, is to sit in the wheelchair and wheel it to its destination. This works best when the wheelchair doesn't need to be transported very far and there are no steep changes in elevation.
What is the difference between a handicap van and a wheelchair van?
In looking for a van for myself, I have found most advertisers (owners and dealers) alike use the terms interchangeably. However, a Handicap Van may include lifts for mobility chairs as well as locks to keep them in place during transit and/or steering wheel controls for hand-driven vans. Yet, Wheelchair Vans tend to mean a regular van outfitted to transport a wheelchair (not mobility chair) bound individual. They too should be equipped with lifts as needed and locks to secure the wheelchair while in transit. Another way to view the difference is that Handicap Vans tend to be designed for Handicapped Drivers and Wheelchair Vans tend to be designed for Wheelchair Passengers. That is my opinion anyway for what it is worth. Hope it helps, Rick PS. I am disabled so have utilized both forms of transport as I have a neurological disease that prevents me from maintaining my balance.
