At Brown Honda, we believe every driver deserves the freedom, independence, and confidence to enjoy the road.

If you or a member of your family requires adaptive driving controls or accessibility equipment, our team is here to help you find the right Honda vehicle and guide you through the Mobility Assistance Program.

Honda Mobility Assistance Highlights
- Up to $1,000 reimbursement for qualifying adaptive equipment and installation.
- Available on eligible new Honda vehicles purchased or leased from an authorized Honda dealer in the United States.
- Supports adaptive equipment that improves vehicle accessibility or allows individuals with physical disabilities to safely operate a vehicle.

What Is the Honda Mobility Assistance Program?
The Honda Mobility Assistance Program is designed to help drivers and passengers with physical disabilities enjoy greater independence through vehicle accessibility. Eligible customers who purchase or lease a qualifying new Honda vehicle may receive reimbursement for qualifying adaptive equipment and installation costs after meeting all program requirements.
Whether you need adaptive driving controls, wheelchair accessibility equipment, transfer aids, or other mobility solutions, the program helps reduce the cost of making your Honda fit your individual needs.
While adaptive equipment is installed by specialized mobility equipment providers — not Honda dealerships — our team at Brown Honda in Toledo, OH is happy to help you select a Honda vehicle that works well with your mobility goals and answer questions about the reimbursement process.
Choosing the Right Honda Vehicle
One of the first decisions you’ll make is selecting the Honda model that best fits your mobility needs. The ideal vehicle depends on the type of adaptive equipment being installed, whether the individual will be driving or riding as a passenger, and the amount of interior space required.
Our knowledgeable staff can help you compare Honda models while your mobility evaluator and adaptive equipment installer determine the best equipment for your situation.
Honda Odyssey
The Honda Odyssey is the Honda model most commonly converted for wheelchair accessibility. Its spacious cabin, sliding side doors, and flexible interior make it an outstanding choice for:
- Wheelchair ramps
- Power wheelchair lifts
- Lowered-floor conversions
- Wheelchair securement systems
- Transfer seats
- Passenger wheelchair accessibility
Many leading mobility conversion companies, including BraunAbility and VMI, offer Honda Odyssey conversion packages.
Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V is an excellent option for drivers who require adaptive driving controls but do not need a wheelchair conversion. Its comfortable seating position, generous cargo area, and wide door openings make it a popular choice for many adaptive driving solutions.
Common adaptive equipment includes:
- Hand controls
- Steering devices
- Transfer aids
- Left-foot accelerators
- Mobility device storage
Honda SUVs and Trucks
Honda’s SUV and truck lineup offers a variety of options for customers who need adaptive driving equipment while also wanting additional passenger or cargo space. Depending on your mobility needs, the Honda Pilot, Honda Passport, Honda Ridgeline, and Honda HR-V can all accommodate many adaptive driving solutions, including hand controls, steering devices, transfer aids, pedal modifications, and mobility equipment storage.
Each model offers its own advantages. The Pilot provides three-row seating for larger families or caregivers, the Passport delivers a roomy two-row cabin with generous cargo space, the Ridgeline’s pickup bed offers added flexibility for transporting larger mobility devices, and the HR-V combines SUV versatility with a compact footprint that’s easy to maneuver in everyday driving.
Honda Sedans
For drivers who require adaptive driving controls but do not need a wheelchair-accessible conversion, the Honda Civic and Honda Accord remain excellent choices. Both models are commonly paired with hand controls, left-foot accelerators, steering devices, pedal extensions, and other adaptive driving equipment while providing comfortable seating, excellent visibility, advanced safety technology, and impressive fuel efficiency for daily driving.
Common Types of Adaptive Equipment
Adaptive equipment can help improve vehicle accessibility, increase driving independence, and make entering, exiting, or operating a vehicle easier. Depending on your individual needs, qualifying adaptive equipment may include:
- Hand Controls – Operate the accelerator and brake without using foot pedals.
- Left-Foot Accelerators – Relocate the accelerator pedal for drivers who cannot comfortably use their right foot.
- Spinner Knobs and Steering Devices – Make steering easier with one hand.
- Reduced-Effort Steering Systems – Reduce steering effort for easier vehicle control.
- Reduced-Effort Braking Systems – Reduce the force required to operate the brake pedal.
- Pedal Extensions – Allow shorter drivers or drivers with limited mobility to comfortably reach the pedals.
- Wheelchair Ramps – Manual or powered ramps that provide vehicle access.
- Wheelchair Lifts – Lift occupied or unoccupied wheelchairs into the vehicle.
- Transfer Seats – Power-operated seats that rotate and extend outside the vehicle for easier entry and exit.
- Wheelchair Securement Systems – Safely secure wheelchairs during travel.
- Secondary Control Extensions – Relocate switches and controls for easier operation.
- Additional Mobility Solutions – Depending on your needs, other adaptive driving technologies and accessibility modifications may qualify for reimbursement.
