The Perfect Car for Accessibilit

Honda has the Perfect Car for Accessibility

Honda supports the needs of drivers and passengers with mobility disabilities with the Honda Customer Mobility Assistance Program. The program provides $1,000 to eligible customers for installing qualifying adaptive vehicle equipment or purchasing or leasing eligible Honda vehicles such as wheelchair-accessible Honda Odyssey models.

Program Details

The Honda Customer Mobility Assistance Program is exclusive to the original owner of an eligible vehicle who makes modifications to accommodate themselves or their immediate family. The vehicle must be purchased from a Honda authorized dealership and only one reimbursement request can be submitted for each vehicle.

A qualifying modification provides adaptive equipment or modifications that give an individual with a disability convenient access to the vehicle or the ability to drive the vehicle. This may include:

• Wheelchair Lifts
• Steering Aids/ Joystick Controls
• Hand Controls
• Adaptive Ignition Controls
• Pedal Modification

With the exception of wheelchair and scooter ramps or lifts, all modifications must have a prescription to be eligible for the program. Additional details for program qualifications can be found on the official Honda Customer Mobility Assistance Program webpage.

Why Choose the Honda Odyssey

The Honda Odyssey is one of the most popular minivans on the market for several reasons, one of which is how easy it is to adapt for accessibility and mobility and is highly regarded for its accessibility features. Even without modifications, its body style and design are more accommodating than other vehicles on the market for five main reasons.

1. Spacious Interior: The Honda Odyssey, like many minivans, has wide door openings that make it easier for passengers with mobility aids to enter and exit the vehicle. It also makes altering the vehicle for additional assistance less complicated and, as a result, more affordable.
2. Magic Slide® Seats: Inside, the roomy cabin provides enough space to maneuver wheelchairs and other mobility devices. The second-row Magic Slide® seats add another level of convenience by allowing drivers and passengers to slide the seats side-to-side and forward and backward for easier access to the third row.
3. Power Sliding Doors: Sliding doors are a hallmark feature of minivans that make them one of the best body styles for accessibility.
4. Lowered Floor: The lowered floor design of the Honda Odyssey makes adding ramp systems and other features tailored to the needs of disabled individuals easier.
5. Hands-Free Access: The Honda Odysseys adds to the above features with the hands-free power sliding feature for the doors and the hands-free liftgate for easier loading and unloading of cargo. These features allow you to open the doors and lift the gate with the touch of a button or a simple gesture.
