People often assume that if you’re on disability, you can’t own a car or drive one. Like, they think the government will show up with a tow truck if you buy a used Honda Civic. That’s just not true—you can absolutely own a vehicle.
Disability benefits (like SSDI or SSI) are there to cover your basic needs, and for many people, transportation is a basic need. Think of it this way: your car isn’t a luxury; it’s a tool, like a wheelchair or a hearing aid.
