Anyone rent a van with a wheelchair ramp?

It looks like I'm going to be responsible for transporting my wheelchair-bound grandmother to a wedding this summer. I'll be flying into town and renting a car. In the past, Gram's climbed out of her wheelchair and gotten herself into the car, but she may not be able to do it anymore.

I was hoping to be able to rent a minivan or something with a wheelchair ramp, but everything I'm finding available has hand controls for a handicapped driver.

Anyone have some good solutions or leads for me?

hand controls can be removed very easily by the rental company,shouldn't be a problem for you...

You could always just drive it with the hand controls.

I have a friend who is quadriplegic and I have driven his vehicle with hand controls may a time, it's kind of fun.
