Navigating the Open Road: A Guide to Finding the Perfect BraunAbility Vehicle with Jerry's Mobility

The school buses are parked, and the bags are packed. Spring Break is finally here! Whether you’re planning a trip to the inner harbor or a cross-country trek, traveling with a mobility impairment requires an extra layer of planning. This week, we’re sharing our top tips for a stress-free accessible road trip. Pre-Trip Prep Before you put the car in gear, bring it in for a Pre-Travel Safety Inspection. We’ll check your tie-downs, ensure your ramp backup system is functional, and top off your fluids. Nothing spoils a vacation like a malfunctioning ramp in a hotel parking lot. App for the Accessible Traveler: Wheelmap: Find wheelchair-accessible restaurants and attractions in real-time. Planning Your Stops When traveling through the Mid-Atlantic, remember that not all rest stops are created equal. We recommend scouting "Certified Accessible" stops along I-95. Many newer Maryland Welcome Centers feature extra-wide van-accessible parking and adult changing tables, making the journey as comfortable as the destination. Where are you heading this Spring Break?

It’s the middle of March, and "Tax Season" is the phrase on everyone’s lips. While filing taxes can be a headache, it’s also one of the best times to explore financial avenues for a new mobility vehicle. This week, we’re breaking down how you can turn your refund (and other resources) into a more accessible life. Tax Deductions and Medical Expenses Did you know that the cost of mobility equipment—and even a portion of the vehicle cost itself—can often be considered a deductible medical expense? If a vehicle is modified for wheelchair use, the IRS often allows you to deduct the cost of the modifications. Always consult with a tax professional in Maryland to see how this applies to your specific situation. Beyond the Refund: Grants and Assistance A tax refund is a great start, but it’s rarely the whole story. At Jerry’s Mobility, we work closely with: Maryland Department of Disabilities: Exploring state-level grants for workplace or educational independence. Veteran Affairs (VA): We are proud to assist our Carney veterans in navigating VA auto grants (like Form 21-4502). Manufacturer Rebates: Many manufacturers offer up to $1,000 back on mobility conversions for new vehicles. Don't let the price tag of independence hold you back. Let’s sit down and look at the numbers together—you might be closer to a new ride than you think. Connect with us today!

President’s Day is more than just a long weekend; it’s a celebration of independence. At Jerry’s Mobility, we take that literally. To us, independence means being able to go to work, visit family, or run errands on your own terms. Our "Executive Access" event this February is designed to put the power of choice back in your hands with significant incentives on our most popular 2026 mobility models. Leading the Fleet: The Chrysler Pacifica For many of our customers, the right vehicle is all about finding the perfect balance of luxury and utility. The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica with a BraunAbility® or Vantage Mobility (VMI) conversion is the gold standard for those who refuse to compromise on comfort. While SUVs have their strengths, the Pacifica offers a sophisticated, low-profile ride that makes every trip feel like a first-class experience. With its available All-Wheel Drive (AWD), this isn’t just a fair-weather van; it’s engineered to handle snowy Maryland commutes with confidence and poise. Inside, you’ll find an industry-leading interior that provides a spacious, open floor plan and significant door height—making it an ideal choice for power chair users who need extra clearance without the step-up height of a larger truck. Navigating the "Stimulus" of Mobility Financing We know that mobility equipment is a major investment. That’s why our specialists are trained to help you find every available dollar to help: Manufacturer Rebates: Many major brands, including Chevrolet and Chrysler, offer mobility reimbursements of up to $1,000 on new vehicle conversions. Tax Benefits: In many cases, the cost of mobility conversions can be considered a deductible medical expense. (Always consult with a tax professional regarding your specific situation!) Certified Pre-Owned: If a brand-new 2026 model isn't in the budget, our "Presidential Selection" of late-model used vans offers the same reliability at a lower price point. This February, don't just dream of independence—drive it. Come see the team at Jerry's Mobility and let's find the perfect fit for your lifestyle.
