AMP Program Specifics:

Acura suggests that you request a copy of the Department of Transportation’s brochure, “Adapting Motor Vehicles for People with Disabilities.” For more information, visit www.NHTSA.GOV. To search online use the following phrase, “Adapting Motor Vehicles.”  Review the steps of the vehicle modification process below.

1. Understand your state’s driver’s license requirements.
2. Contact the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) to help identify the adaptive equipment that best fits your needs.
3. Select the right vehicle by collaborating with your evaluator, the vehicle modification installer, and Gary Force Acura before selecting a vehicle.
4. Choose a qualified equipment installer to modify your new Acura. Research the installer’s credentials, experience, references, warranty coverage, and services.
5. Ensure that the installer you choose is a member of the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) or another organization that has established vehicle conversion standards.
6. Ask for training on the use of the newly installed equipment. Your equipment dealer and evaluator should provide information and off-road instruction.
7. Practice driving under the instruction of a qualified driving instructor until you both feel comfortable with your skills before getting on public roads.

AMP Program Guidelines:

Acura will provide a reimbursement of up to $1,000 to each eligible, original retail client for the expenses incurred to purchase and install qualifying adaptive equipment on any eligible purchased or leased new Acura vehicle.

1. To qualify for reimbursement through the Acura Mobility Program, an applicant must be the original vehicle owner or lessee, and the modifications to the vehicle must be completed for that original owner or a member of the original owner’s immediate family.
2. The vehicle must also be a new Acura vehicle that has been purchased or leased in the United States from an authorized Acura dealer. Reimbursement will be considered only for vehicle modifications performed after February 1, 2004.
3. Only one reimbursement request is allowed per vehicle. Commercial and fleet vehicles are not eligible, and written request for reimbursement must be received by Acura within six months of the adaptive equipment being installed. Additionally, adaptive equipment deemed by Acura to have altered the safety of a vehicle will not be eligible.
