Types of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles Available
Side-Entry Wheelchair Vans
Side-entry wheelchair vans are a popular choice for individuals who want greater interior flexibility and convenient entry. The ramp deploys from the passenger side, allowing wheelchair users to enter comfortably and providing options for different seating positions depending on the vehicle layout. In a large and active city like Markham, where residents frequently travel between neighbourhoods and commercial areas, this configuration can offer practical accessibility for everyday driving.
Rear-Entry Wheelchair Vans
Rear-entry wheelchair vans provide a straightforward mobility solution that prioritizes ease of use. With access through the back of the vehicle, loading and securing a wheelchair can be efficient and predictable. This design is often preferred by families, caregivers, and community transportation services looking for dependable accessibility without complex vehicle modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles
Markham clients often ask similar questions when exploring wheelchair accessible vehicles. Below are answers to several of the most common topics.

Selecting a wheelchair van starts with identifying how the vehicle will be used most often. Daily travel distance, driver preferences, passenger needs, and parking environments all influence which configuration will be the most practical.
Can any wheelchair be used in a van?
Yes. Most mobility devices—including manual wheelchairs, power chairs, and scooters—can be accommodated in accessible vans. Our team checks measurements, weight capacity, and turning space to ensure the wheelchair fits comfortably and securely.
Should I buy a side-entry or rear-entry wheelchair van?
Side-entry vans typically offer more seating flexibility and may allow wheelchair users to travel closer to the front seating position. Rear-entry vans are often simpler to operate and can be a practical choice for passenger transportation.
