Moving a wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) over a long distance takes more planning than shipping a standard passenger vehicle. Crestline Auto Transport provides WAV transport throughout the lower 48 states for owners, buyers, sellers, mobility dealers, healthcare providers, and businesses that need accessible vehicles moved safely and efficiently. Our U.S.-based team evaluates the vehicle’s conversion type, ground clearance, ramp or lift system, condition, pickup location, and destination to help coordinate the right transportation solution.

What Is Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Transport?
Wheelchair accessible vehicle transport is a specialized service used to move a converted mobility vehicle between locations without the owner or a family member having to make the drive. These vehicles are often modified minivans, full-size vans, or SUVs equipped with ramps, lifts, lowered floors, or other accessibility features.
Because many WAVs are built with modified floors and reduced ground clearance, loading and transport require extra attention. A lowered-floor minivan with a power ramp can have very different transport requirements than a full-size van with a platform lift.
Crestline reviews these details before coordinating the move so the transportation method matches the specific vehicle and its conversion.
Types of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles We Transport
Wheelchair accessible vehicles come in several configurations. Crestline can help evaluate transportation options for many common WAV types, including:
- Side-Entry Ramp Minivans
- Rear-Entry Ramp Minivans
- Full-Size Vans With Platform Lifts
- High-Top Conversion Vans
- Wheelchair Accessible SUVs
- Commercial & Paratransit Mobility Vans
Transportation availability depends on the vehicle’s exact dimensions, ground clearance, conversion type, condition, and route. Provide accurate vehicle details when requesting a quote so Crestline can determine the appropriate transportation requirements.
When You May Need WAV Transport
Professional WAV transport is useful when an accessible vehicle needs to travel a significant distance but driving it yourself isn’t practical. This commonly happens when purchasing a WAV from an out-of-state mobility dealer or private seller, relocating to another state, delivering a vehicle after a sale, moving a vehicle for a family member, or transporting a vehicle that isn’t currently practical to drive.
Owners and caregivers may also choose professional transport to avoid adding mileage, fuel costs, travel days, and wear to a vehicle that is often a significant investment. For many families, shipping the vehicle also removes the stress of arranging a long-distance trip around mobility needs.
Why Ground Clearance & Conversion Details Matter
Unlike standard cars and minivans, wheelchair accessible vehicles are often modified in ways that affect how they can be loaded and transported. Lowered floors, reduced ground clearance, ramp systems, lifts, and raised roofs can all affect the equipment required and how the vehicle is handled during loading.
When requesting WAV transport, be prepared to provide the year, make, model, conversion type, entry style (side or rear), operating condition, and any known clearance or height measurements. Let Crestline know about features such as power or manual ramps, platform lifts, raised roofs, kneeling systems, or aftermarket modifications that may affect loading or overall dimensions.
Providing accurate information upfront helps Crestline identify the appropriate transportation solution and reduces the likelihood of complications at pickup.
Why Choose Crestline for WAV Transport?
Wheelchair accessible vehicle transport isn’t a one-size-fits-all service. Conversion type, ground clearance, and accessibility equipment all matter before a carrier is ever scheduled. Crestline’s U.S.-based transportation specialists work with customers to understand the vehicle, its modifications, condition, route, and pickup and delivery requirements before coordinating transportation.
Our experience coordinating vehicles throughout the lower 48 states gives WAV owners, caregivers, and mobility dealers a single transportation resource, whether you’re buying an accessible van across the country, relocating with your vehicle, or arranging delivery after a sale. You’ll have real people available to discuss the move, answer questions, and help coordinate the details rather than relying on an automated booking process.

Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle FAQs
Yes. Lowered-floor conversions are common in wheelchair accessible minivans. Because they have less ground clearance than standard vehicles, share the conversion type and any known clearance measurements when requesting a quote so Crestline can coordinate a carrier with suitable loading equipment.
Not necessarily. Inoperable WAVs can often be transported, but the vehicle’s condition affects how it’s loaded and which carriers are available. Let Crestline know if the vehicle doesn’t start, roll, brake, or steer.
Make sure the ramp or lift is fully stowed and secured, remove personal items and loose equipment, and note any existing damage. If the ramp or lift has a manual override, let Crestline know so the driver is aware during pickup and delivery.
Yes. Crestline regularly coordinates pickup from dealerships and private sellers. Provide the pickup contact and address, and Crestline will work with both parties to schedule pickup and delivery.
Cost depends on the vehicle’s size, conversion type, ground clearance, condition, distance, route, and timing. Request a quote with accurate vehicle details to get pricing for your specific shipment.
