Chrysler Mobility Vehicle Incentives 2025 – What You Can Claim

If you or someone you know needs a mobility‑equipped vehicle, 2025 offers several ways to save — from manufacturer rebates to tax incentives and local support programs. Many 2025 incentives can be combined with other regional or national offers for maximum savings. As a driver or family member looking at a wheelchair‑accessible van or handicap‑ready vehicle, knowing what incentives are available can significantly reduce the cost and make ownership more manageable. These incentives often apply whether you choose to purchase or lease a vehicle. At Kunes CDJR of Sterling, we want to help you understand what’s out there in 2025 so you can make informed choices. Many of these programs are available specifically for new Chrysler vehicles equipped for mobility.

A “mobility vehicle” refers to a car or van that’s been adapted — either by the manufacturer or via aftermarket conversion — to support individuals with mobility limitations. That may include:

• Wheelchair ramps or lifts
• Lowered floors and raised roofs
• Adaptive seating, hand controls, or other assistive driving aids
• Additional safety equipment for secure wheelchair transport

Eligibility typically depends on a medical need or disability certification and, in many cases, meeting specific financial or usage criteria.

Chrysler (and its parent groups) has long offered vans and minivans that are more easily adaptable for mobility conversions, thanks to roomy interiors, flexible seating, and wide sliding doors. For many families and individuals, that makes them a strong base for mobility upgrades — and a key player when looking at incentive programs.

Chrysler's DriveAbility Program offers rebates for adaptive equipment installations on Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles. The program supports adaptive equipment installations for these brands, making Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram a top choice for mobility buyers.

• Mobility conversion rebates: Some automakers and dealerships, including mobility‑certified dealers, offer partial rebates or discounts when you buy a van and have it factory‑ or dealer‑converted for accessibility. These rebates are often available when you purchase adaptive equipment or install adaptive equipment on a new vehicle.

Installing adaptive driver and passenger equipment is often required to qualify for these incentives.

• Financing specials for mobility buyers: Reduced-interest or special loan terms may be available when financing a van designated for handicap or assistive use, making monthly payments more manageable.
• Trade‑in bonuses: If you’re replacing an older accessible van, some programs offer enhanced trade‑in value to encourage newer, safer vehicles.

• Medical expense deduction: If your mobility conversion is necessary for a medical condition, you may deduct related expenses (cost of conversion, adaptive equipment, certain modifications) as qualified medical expenses — subject to IRS rules and limitations.
• Disability vehicle tax credit or deduction: While credits vary, some disabled‑driver provisions allow for deductions or credits when purchasing or modifying a vehicle for mobility — especially if prescribed by a physician. Tax incentives typically require a vehicle purchase or lease, and adaptive equipment must be installed within a set period after the purchase or lease to qualify.
• Hybrid/Efficiency credits (when applicable): If you choose a mobility‑equipped vehicle that is also a hybrid or low‑emission (depending on eligible models), you might qualify for clean‑vehicle incentives, possibly reducing total ownership cost.

Conventional financing through Chrysler Capital is available for qualified new vehicle buyers, including those who choose to lease.

• Lower insurance or adjusted rates: Some insurance providers offer discounts or special underwriting for mobility vehicles, acknowledging that drivers may be more cautious or driving less.
• Registration/Title waivers or discounts: Certain counties or states provide reduced fees or exemptions for handicap‑equipped vehicles — worth checking if you reside in Illinois.
• Long‑term value and resale potential: Well‑maintained mobility vans from recognized conversion programs tend to hold value — especially in regions where demand is high.

• Ensure that your documented need (doctor’s prescription or certificate of disability) qualifies your conversion or purchase for incentives.
• Keep all receipts and documentation: cost of vehicle, conversion invoices, invoices for adaptive equipment, and conversion certificates — these are essential if you plan to claim deductions or rebates.

• Use a recognized conversion company or manufacturer‑approved mobility outfitter to ensure safety and compliance (seat anchoring, door modifications, ramps/lifts, restraint systems).
• Check that VIN changes or mobility‑conversion certifications are properly recorded — this matters for reselling, insurance, and potential incentives down the line.

• Factor in purchase or conversion cost, maintenance, insurance, and possible increased upkeep (ramps, lifts, lift maintenance).
• Compare savings from incentives against added costs of maintaining conversion equipment.
• Ensure the van’s configuration still fits your everyday needs — not just mobility — to maximize value.

At Kunes CDJR of Sterling, sales and finance staff understand mobility conversions, documentation requirements, and how incentive claims work. That means you get guidance — not guesses — aligned with both manufacturer programs and state/federal incentive frameworks.

The dealership offers access to conversions or can help connect you with certified mobility‑upfitters. That ensures proper installation, certification compliance, and often warranty support on conversion equipment.

From loan paperwork with special financing to helping organize documentation for tax or medical deductions, the dealership supports the non‑driving side of mobility vehicle ownership — letting you focus on comfort and accessibility rather than admin stress.

Mobility vehicle ownership doesn’t have to feel like navigating a maze. In 2025, incentives from manufacturers, tax code provisions, insurance adjustments, and dealership support make it possible to own an accessible van while managing cost and maximizing value.

If you’re exploring a mobility‑equipped van — for yourself or a loved one — take advantage of available incentives, plan carefully, and work with professionals who understand the nuances.

Assistance and mobility programs are available for a wide range of brands and equipment, including new Volkswagen vehicle, new Ford, new Chevrolet, Honda vehicle, Nissan vehicle, Subaru vehicles, new Subaru vehicles, GMC vehicle, Lexus vehicles, running boards, and manufacturer-specific programs like Nissan Mobility, Subaru Mobility, and Volkswagen vehicle.

For anyone in need of vehicle accessibility, the 2025 incentive landscape offers real, practical opportunities to reduce costs. From conversion rebates and financing specials to medical deductions and long‑term resale potential, a mobility vehicle can be more affordable than you think — if you know where to look.

At Kunes CDJR of Sterling, you’re not just buying a van: you’re investing in freedom, mobility, and quality of life — with support every step of the way.
