When renting a mobility scooter for your vacation to Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal Florida, a Cruise or any other of the great things Orlando has to offer, it is best to rent from a company that specializes in rentals.  Selling mobility scooters is much different than renting them out.  Let’s face it rental scooters in Orlando take a beating.  They are out, running hard, to cover the vast miles that make up the theme parks being abused by very hot sun and usually the frequent and heavy thunderstorms.  Not to mention they are also rented for cruises going out of Port Canaveral which means the worst of the worst, salty sea sprays!  Servicing these kinds of daily abuses takes a precision approach and technical know how to diagnose problems, hopefully in advance of re-rental, and correcting them.

Ask any experienced owner of a mobility scooter a.k.a. electric wheelchair, electronic convenience vehicle (ECV) and they will tell you that their batteries would never last a full 15 hours or survive forever in very hot or wet weather.  The mobility scooters sold for personal use and the companies that sell them rely on the manufacturers warranty, service and repair.  Rental is a very different beast.

Ensure the mobility scooter rental company has what you would expect (and more) from a vehicle type rental company such as:

• A wide variety of models to choose from
• On-line demonstrations of each model
• On-line ordering capability
• A repair time service commitment
• Long hours of operation that match with theme park hours
• Ability to service you inside a theme park location

You spend a lot of money for your vacation from the entrance fees to theme parks to accomodations and travel, so don’t just rent from the first company you find…or the cheapest.  Ensure you select a top notch mobility scooter rental company because not getting the best scooter out there from a true rental company can ruin your entire vacation.

Orlando is the world’s best place to vacation…you can go to the beach, either a real one an hours drive away or a great replica of one at Walt Disney World’s (WDW) Typhoon Lagoon or SeaWorlds Aquatica, the mountains as in Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom, to outer space via Star Tours at Disney’s Hollywood Studio’s (Formerly MGM), Men in Black at Universal Studios, Buzz Lightyear at Magic Kngdom or Mission to Mars at EPCOT.  Wow that’s a lot and only the beginning.  But what do all these places have in common?  Lots and lots of walking.

Whether you are mobility limited or just want to see all that you can, you can rent a mobility scooter a.k.a. eletric wheelchair, electronic convenience vehicle (ECV) in Orlando to assist you in seeing all these places and more.  A mobility scooter can be reserved in advance just like a rental car or hotel room and even better than a car rental, will be delivered to your door whether that is a hotel room, timeshare, private villa direct, or resort.  There are many different models to choose from and can even fit into the trunk of a car or taxi by folding up or easily disassembling.

Make sure you reserve as far in advance as possible because the best scooter models get sold out during peak times (which is most of the time) and ensure the rental company provides commitments on service repair, will come into a theme park for service repair, and has hours of operation that match theme park hours beginning early in the morning til late at night.
