What Superior Van and Mobility does
Superior Van and Mobility is a family-owned mobility equipment dealer founded in 1976, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, and self-described as the nation's largest family-owned mobility dealer. The company sells, rents, and services wheelchair-accessible vehicles and adaptive driving equipment through 17 physical retail locations across the South and Midwest, including Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, Nebraska, and Michigan.
The product portfolio spans new and pre-owned wheelchair-accessible conversions (side-entry and rear-entry) on Chrysler Pacifica, Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey, and Chevrolet Traverse chassis from BraunAbility and Vantage Mobility (VMI), plus full-size Tempest Ram ProMaster conversions for commercial NEMT and complex-mobility use cases.

The company holds NMEDA QAP certification, the only nationally recognized accreditation in the adaptive mobility industry.
Revenue is generated through multiple streams: one-time vehicle and equipment sales, professional installation services, short- and long-term rentals (including a Try-Before-You-Buy program), commercial fleet sales to NEMT providers, and ongoing service/repair including 24/7 emergency support. Multi-lender financing, partnerships with major conversion manufacturers, and broad operating geographies anchor the business model. The company is led by multi-generational family management (President Sam Cook, VP Kathy Cook, VP of Sales Alex Cook) alongside a CFO and dedicated VPs for Business Development, Operations, and Commercial sales.
