For individuals with disabilities, having access to a safe and adaptive vehicle is essential for independence. Recognizing this need, many major car manufacturers offer mobility rebate programs to help offset the cost of installing adaptive equipment such as hand controls, wheelchair lifts, ramps, and specialized seating modifications.

If you’re looking to purchase or lease a new vehicle and need modifications for accessibility, this guide will help you understand the available mobility assistance programs, rebate amounts, eligibility, and covered modifications for each manufacturer.

What is a Mobility Rebate Program?

A mobility rebate program is an initiative by car manufacturers that provides financial assistance (usually in the form of a rebate) to customers who install adaptive equipment on a newly purchased or leased vehicle. These rebates typically cover equipment like:

✅ Hand controls

✅ Wheelchair lifts and ramps

✅ Transfer seats

✅ Pedal extenders

✅ Left-foot accelerators

✅ Adaptive driving devices

Below, we break down the mobility rebate programs offered by different car manufacturers and how you can take advantage of them.
