Hello,

Long story short, my father is disabled and needs a wheelchair to get to and from doctor's appointments. The medical transport services have been good, but now he's stable enough that we could theoretically transport him ourselves, if we had access to a rampvan or other wheelchair transport for rent. He doesn't leave the house nearly enough to justify buying a van and we're still waiting for our application for Howard County GPT services to go through. Google searches have been mostly unhelpful given the specialty of the service.

Does anyone know or have experience with renting a disability van in this area? I'd love to get a bead on where I can find one for maybe once or twice a month. Thanks!

Check with the howard county department of aging. And if he has Medicare they also generally have transportation for appointments!

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have a look! I did not know the Department of Aging was a thing.

Maybe check with Neighbor Ride? Renting a vehicle is gonna cost more than $100/day. Feel free to message if I can help in any way!
