All these questions will help guide us to the best recommendations for you.

The amount of space the wheelchair or scooter lift takes up depend on the lift and wheelchair being stowed. Most interior lifts are designed to fold out of the way when not in use to give you optimal visibility and interior storage.
The biggest consideration when looking at lifts that will stow inside your vehicle vs. outside your vehicle is the weather and where you live. For example, in Arizona with temperatures that get to 115 degrees in the summer, your scooter may get very hot to the touch. On the other extreme, in Buffalo, NY with temperatures below freezing and lots of snow, you want to ensure your scooter is protected.
Unfortunately, not. While Medicare covers a lot of equipment to use in your home, they do not cover scooter lifts for your vehicle. We do have multiple options for financing with low monthly payments – we are here to help.
