Accessible RVs for Vacation Rental

One of the great American vacations that provides real freedom to go almost anywhere there happens to be a road that will get you there is an RV vacation. Many thousands of people take to the roads each year in their RVs to get away for a while and see places that package vacations tend to miss out on.

But what about people with disabilities that want to take this kind of vacation? Well, there are special custom RVs designed for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility to be able to join the rest of the happy RV'ers. It gives folks the freedom to enjoy the open road and stopover just about anywhere they like too.

These specially adapted or customized motorhomes for the mobility challenged user have all the necessary features to make them completely accessible and a joy to use. These include powered ramps to enable wheelchair users to get on or off easily, wide aisles inside to provide easy maneuverability once inside and fully featured bathrooms and other facilities so that nothing is difficult to use or access.

There are even wheelchair accessible RVs that can be driven by those with certain physical limitations just as easily as they can drive their own specially adapted cars or vans. This is a great boost to anyone who previously may have believed they were unable to take this type of vacation.

Rent an RV

But what this site is all about is that if you don't own a handicapped RV of your own, you can always rent one!

That's right! For a reasonable sum, you can just as easily rent a specially adapted disabled enabled motorhome and enjoy that open road vacation you always promised yourself!

With larger rental companies, it is often possible that if they don't have a suitable rental vehicle available in your town, the chances are they can source one from another locality.

Many of these companies can simply be contacted by phone or via their website. They can have your RV delivered when you need it and picked up again when you're done with it for a small additional fee. This option is generally well worth the extra payment to be able to enjoy a carefree vacation out in the great outdoors visiting the kind of places that most folks never get the chance to.

Handicap RV Rental Illinois: There is Hope!

This article covers the problems of finding a company that offers a handicap RV rental in Illinois for people with disabilities who require special access.

As in most other states, finding a rental company that has wheelchair adapted RVs for rent in Illinois can be something of an uphill struggle, but not an impossible one.

A search on the search engines brings up a few possibilities that are advertising adapted RVs for rent in the state, so I decided to dig a little deeper to see what I could come up with.

Renting a Wheelchair Accessible RV in Illinois

I found that it is possible to book through peer-to-peer rental platforms, specifying a custom wheelchair-accessible RV for rent that features a wide rear ramp or wheelchair lift on the side.

Platforms such as ″Outdoorsy[1]″ or ″RVshare[2]″ can sometimes turn up find private owners who have ADA-accessible motorhomes or accessibility-modified RVs with rear ramps. I also found that ″Winnebago Motor Homes[3]″ in Rockford, IL specialize in accessibility-modified vehicles that feature platform wheelchair lifts as well as roll-in showers and power transfer seats.

Also featuring wheelchair adapted RVs for rent, my search turned up ″RV Rentals of America[4]″ and ″Cummings Mobility[5]″ although I do believe they operate on a first come first serve basis. Meaning you need to book well in advance to be in with a chance of getting an RV to rent when you want it.

Affordable RV Hire

One other point I need to mention is the cost involved in renting a specially adapted RV.

As I have already covered in previous posts, the rental costs are higher than for standard RVs. This is mainly due to much reduced rolling stock being available and the high cost to the rental company of buying a ready-made wheelchair RV or having a standard one customized with all the necessary features to meet the needs of its users.

While my previous posts were written several years ago, the reasons for higher costs are the same. It's just the actual rental prices are a lot more than they once were.

I'd advise getting touch with a local rental company of there is one and asking for a cost quote to see what you're going to be up against.

Summary

Finding a rental company with wheelchair-adapted RVs available is possible in Illinois, but finding one that has one available might be tough unless you can book a long time in advance.

However, the fact that there is some availability and there are companies that advertise as such means that you may get lucky and strike gold on your next telephone call.
