To apply for a van through Magic Mobility, families must complete the “Request a Van” form available on their website. The application collects information about the child’s disability, household income, location, and transportation needs. Once submitted, the request is placed in a national queue and reviewed as donated vans become available. Since availability depends on the types and locations of donated vehicles, wait times can vary, and applicants are contacted directly if a match is found. The program is free, and vehicles are provided to qualifying families at no cost.
The application process is the same for seniors (as well as adults with disabilities, veterans, and public servants) as it is for children at Magic Mobility Vans. When you complete the online “Request a Van” form, you’ll specify whom the request is for—choosing “Disabled Senior/Adult” if the recipient is a senior. The form gathers identical details across age groups: personal contact information, location, description of the disability, household income, insurance status, and any alternative funding sources . Requests are placed into the same national queue and evaluated based on availability of donated wheelchair-adapted vans in the applicant’s area . The main difference is that seniors select a different recipient category, but otherwise the criteria—demonstrated mobility need, financial limitations, ability to insure and register the vehicle, and vehicle pickup—apply uniformly across all applicants
