At General Motors, we know just how important mobility is if you have a disability.
That’s why we’ve created the GM Mobility Program. It’s designed to help people with disabilities access the resources they need, and get a reimbursement of up to $1,000* towards the cost of adapting an eligible new Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac plus a two-year subscription to the OnStar Essentials Plan, on us, which includes OnStar® Safety & Security, Remote Access, and access to the new OnStar Guardian App.‡
Getting the vehicle you love adapted with the right equipment can be a simple process. To start, we recommend you:
Obtain an evaluation or visit your medical practitioner
First find a driver assessment facility and arrange for a complete evaluation. There are a number of facilities across the country, but if you’re not sure where to find one, you can always get in touch with the Ministry of Transportation or contact us at the GM Mobility Program. Your assessment should include suggestions about your driving and a list of vehicle modification recommendations.
If you already know what kind of adaptive equipment you need, you won’t need an evaluation. Your equipment installer will only need a physician’s authorization form.
Contact the Provincial Ministry of Transportation
In most provinces, people are required to report any changes in their medical status to the Provincial Ministry of Transportation. When you report a change in your medical status, the Ministry may conduct a medical review, and may need to alter your driving privileges for your safety. Also keep in mind that failure to report a change in your medical status may put your driver’s licence status in jeopardy altogether.
How can I make sure my vehicle is eligible?
For the GM Mobility Reimbursement Program, in effect until January 2, 2024, you must purchase or lease a new 2022 or 2023 Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac vehicle.
Can I use the reimbursement with other factory rebates and incentives?
Yes. Speak to us about other offers available to you.
I don’t see my adaptive equipment on your eligibility list. How do I find out if I can reimbursed?
Please feel free to contact us at the GM CANADA MOBILITY ASSISTANCE CENTRE:
1-800-GM-DRIVE (463-7483) English/French (TTY users, 1-800-263-3830).
How soon after I purchase or lease my new vehicle do I have to complete the equipment installation and apply for reimbursement?
To take advantage of the GM Mobility Reimbursement Program, you must have the vehicle adapted and submit a claim within 12 months of the date of purchase/lease. Other program rules apply.
Are there any other ways I can offset the cost of purchasing adaptive equipment?
The Canadian government does offer tax credits and rebate programs for some adaptive equipment. Contact your Provincial Ministry of Transportation for more information.
Where can I find a qualified equipment installer?
If you’re not sure where to find qualified installers in your area, the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA), your provincial rehabilitation services agency and the Ministry of Transportation are good sources of information. You can also use the NMEDA search tool to find an adaptive equipment dealer near you.
Where can I get a driver evaluation?
There are a number of facilities across the country, but if you’re not sure where to find one, you can always get in touch with your local Ministry of Transportation or contact us at the GM Mobility Program at 1-800-GM-DRIVE (463-7483).
