The Freedom of Choice: Presidential Mobility Savings

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!

Valentine’s Day is all about connection, but it’s hard to focus on your partner when you’re worried about whether your ramp is going to work in the freezing Baltimore rain or if the restaurant's "accessible" parking is actually accessible. This year, we want to help you take the stress out of the evening. True romance is the freedom to be spontaneous—to decide on a last-minute drive to the Inner Harbor or a sunset cruise through the countryside without a second thought. The "Spa Day" Your Mobility Van Needs Since February is often the harshest month for Maryland drivers, your vehicle needs a little extra TLC to keep the romance (and the mechanics) alive: Salt is the Enemy: Road salt can accumulate in the tracks of your sliding doors and ramp systems. This can cause "binding" or slow deployment. A quick undercarriage and track rinse can prevent a major headache on your big night out. Battery Performance: Cold weather is a battery killer. Mobility conversions draw extra power for lifts and ramps. If your engine is turning over slowly, bring it to Jerry’s for a free battery health check before your date. Elegant Entry: The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica mobility conversion offers a whisper-quiet ramp and premium interior lighting. It doesn’t just feel like an "accessible vehicle"—it feels like a luxury lounge. Ready to upgrade your date night? Visit us in Carney to explore our most comfortable, stylish conversions yet.
