Automotive Mobility Rebate Programs
 
Toyota and Lexus require the vehicle to be a new purchased or leased. Leased vehicles require written lessor approval of adaptive equipment installation. Fleet incentive recipients are not eligible to participate in this program. The reimbursement application must be submitted within 90 days of complete installation of adaptive equipment. Qualifying adaptive or conversion is designed as any aftermarket alteration or equipment installation in an eligible vehicle that provides to the disabled user convenient access and/or the ability to drive the vehicle. Options and accessories are not eligible for reimbursement. For a limited number of adaptations, such as hand controls and wheelchair or scooter hoists or ramps, no medical notes or prescription is required. Running boards, alerting devices, pedal extenders and similar adaptations must have medical documentation. To obtain reimbursement, the reimbursement application must be completed in its entirety and signed by the customer and the selling dealership.

Saturn will reimburse you for the cost of eligible aftermarket driver or passenger equipment, including installation, for the actual amount up to $1,000. If you require alert devices, Saturn will reimburse you up to $200, including installation. If you require both, Saturn will only reimburse a total of $1,000 ($200 for the alerting device and $800 for the remaining ability aids). This is available on new, certified label used or leased Saturns. Leased vehicles are eligible with written permission from the leaser. Vehicles returned under the money back guarantee or demonstrator vehicles are ineligible for reimbursement. They will also reimburse the cost of reinstalling adaptive aids from your previous vehicle into a new Saturn. In most cases, you have 12 months in which to install your equipment. However, if you are installing alerting devices you only have 60 days. Once installation is complete, you have 30 days in which to file your claim. The Saturn dealer will provide the Saturn Mobility Program application.
