www.discountscooters.com offers scooter wheelchairs at a discounted rate.
A scooter can hold things in a basket, but takes up more room.
If you are able to move around and support yourself for long periods of time a scooter would get you around comfortably. If it is uncomfortable for you to be standing then it may be better to have a wheelchair.
A wheelchair carrier company sells wheelchair carriers. Wheelchair carriers are a device attached to the back of a vehicle that will carry a wheelchair or scooter. Some of these companies also install the device.

A person can find a wheelchair hoist at Spinlife. When in the site, a person should go to the Wheelchair Lift Store, and pick out the lift that's appropriate for them.

There are different types of wheelchair lifts. There are hitch mounted wheelchair lifts that utilize the hitch on a car, truck or van. They do not require any special vehicle. You have inside vehicle lifts that hoist the wheelchair or scooter into the van. The platform lifts can lift the wheelchair or scooter with someone in it. If it doesn't work with your van don't worry most of the vans can be re-fitted to install the lift.
You can go to many places online to get information on wheelchair racks. Some of these places are www.discountramps.com/scooter-wheelchair-rack.htm or MobilityAids.Smarter.com
