Most of us who use a mobility scooter rental when visiting Orlando theme parks such as Walt Disney World, Universal Florida, or SeaWorld could benefit from using it both at the theme park as well as where we are staying.  Whether staying at a hotel, resort, timeshare, villa direct or private home, a mobility scooter a.k.a. electronic convenience vehicle (ECV) or electric wheelchair, would be great for getting around these places as well as any shopping malls we might visit.  But to do so you would need a mobility scooter that is transportable.

Transportable mobility scooters, models that fit into a car trunk, are the creme de la creme of rental models.  But don’t be fooled.  Now that mobility scooter renters know they exist and have made this feature a must-have for their rental, many scooter rental companies are now “claiming” their scooters can fit in trunks.

The easiest way to ensure you are getting the “real deal” is to see a video of the scooter you are going to rent in-action, being assembled, disassembled and ridden around.  Also when viewing these videos you should be shown the actual model fitting into a car trunk, and take notice as to what type of car.

If you have to rent a full size van to fit your scooter into then you may also need to rent a full size weight lifter to get it in there too!  And car rental upgrades are expensive.  You might pay a few dollars more a day to get the latest technology, lightweight, transportable scooter but that is a heck of a lot less than the cost of upgrading to a rental van.

Even if you are planning on staying on property and never leaving, having the flexibility to pop your scooter into a taxi trunk for a trip to a shopping mall, a recommended restaurant, or even around Disney or Universal property so you don’t have to wait for the bus (maybe your running late?)  is an advantage worth having at your disposal.

Florida is called the sunshine state for a reason…there is lots and lots of sunshine and therefore you might think it would be a good idea if not a neccessity to have a sunshade on your mobility scooter  a.k.a. electric wheelchair or electronic convenience vehicle (ECV) but there are plenty of factors to consider before requesting a sunshade on your mobility scooter rental.

1. The sun moves around the Earth (I know we all now know that), but what that means is the sun is moving all day long as are you when riding around theme parks such as Walt Disney World, Universal Florida, or SeaWorld.  There is a statistical probability that when using a sunshade compared to your position to the sun you will only be shaded 5% of the time.
2. Sunshades are a hinderance and wreaks all kinds of havoc when cruising through shops.  They get caught on hanging items, things sticking out from shelves, etc.  You can easily end up leaving a trail of destruction.
3. If you are transporting your mobility scooter, sunshades are screwed in and therefore you will need a screwdriver to remove and install it each time.

The best and most versatile solution…a hat and when leaving your scooter to eat or ride an attraction, make sure you park it in a shady spot so your seat and handles don’t get scorching hot.  And of course don’t forget your sunscreen either, it is Florida!

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.

It is important that you do your homework when renting  a mobility scooter, wheelchair, electric wheelchair, electronic convenience vehicle (ECV) for your vacation.  There are several items to consider:

• Does the medical equipment rental company have a variety of mobility scooter models available?
• Do they state the weight capacity and run time for each scooter model (how long they will last between charges)?
• Are the mobility scooters easily portable – fold up or easily disassemble for transport in a Car trunk or taxi?
• Does the company’s website provide details such as:
  • operational hours (park open hours are 8 am to 11 pm)
  • service commitment time
• Do they come into the theme parks (Walt Disney World, Universal Florida, SeaWorld) for servicing?
• Is the staff that answer the phones knowledgeable and friendly?
• Do they offer on-line reservations?

And most importantly do they show you detailed videos of the actual scooter models specifically being ridden and folding up or breaking down for transport?Orlando provides entertainment options that make vacation memories that can last a lifetime, make sure you take care in renting your medical equipment mobility scooter rental.

Orlando has lots to offer and see which requires lots of walking.  But for some of us it is just not enjoyable or sometimes even an option to do the walking but you can still enjoy a vacation at Walt Disney World, Universal Florida, SeaWorld Orlando and/or Kennedy Space Center using a Orlando scooter rental.  Many people who don’t typically do a lot of walking at home and therefore don’t use a mobility scooter don’t ever think about the advantage of doing a Orlando scooter rental vacation.  A mobility scooter rental a.k.a. electronic convenience vehicle, ECV, electric wheelchair starts at as little as $25 per day and they are delivered right to your hotel, timeshare, villa direct, private home etc.  Make sure you get a model that best fits your needs such as folding up or easily disassembling for transport in a car or taxi trunk if you are driving to the theme parks and ensure they have enough battery power to last at least 12-15 hours.  And most importantly get one that looks fun to drive!  There are some behemoth’s out there, but who really wants to be lumbering around while on vacation.  Get one of the newer designed models that look sporty yet are roomy. Lastly, don’t worry about getting around on Walt Disney World buses, monorail, boats etc.  You can ride right onto all of these with your scooter. Use your mobility scooter rental around your resort, hotel etc.  Use it at area shopping and outlet malls.  Use it everywhere and have a truly relaxing, enjoyable and just plain fun vacation in Orlando.

If you are not a big walker a mobility scooter rental is the way to go when visiting Orlando and any of their great theme parks, convention centers or going on a cruise.  The sights, activities, rides, attractions and shopping are endless and even the most fit person can wear themselves out trying to see as much as they can.  So if you are not a walker, mobility scooter rental in Orlando is the way to go!Mobility scooter rentals a.k.a. electric wheelchairs or electronic convenience vehicles (ECVs) are welcomed at Walt Disney World, Universal Florida, SeaWorld Orlando, Kennedy Space Center, Cruise Ships, all malls and the list goes on and on.  Mobility scooter rentals come in sporty looking models and can also easily disassemble to fit in the trunk of a car or fold up and stand on their end for compact storage in a cruise cabin or hotel room.  You don’t have to ride a behemoth, laboring, hard to steer, slow moving scooter.  The sporty models are attractive and a lot of fun to drive.

An important factor in a mobility scooter rental for an Orlando Florida vacation is to ensure that the electronic convenience vehicle (ECV) a.k.a. electric wheelchair rental company provides a commitment for repair and/or replacement time, will provide service inside any of the theme park attractions and has extended hours of operation that match up with your vacationing plans.

Walt Disney World, SeaWorld and Universal Florida theme parks open as early as 8 am and close as late as 11 pm which means if you are an early bird and want to be there upon opening, you may be leaving your hotel, timeshare or villa direct, as early as 6 am to have breakfast and get to the park.  Your mobility company should be operational and ready to support you during these hours.  Also there are times when you may experience a mechanical problem with a scooter.  They are, after all, a piece of machinery and they do break down and if this happens to you inside a theme park, you want to make sure your rental company provides a commitment to come into the park to provide service. 

While having a service problem is not pleasant, it would be far worse if you do so and your mobility scooter rental company is not available to take your call or will not come to assist and service you inside a theme park.

If you are taking advantage of one of the many private home, timeshare or villa accomodations rather than a hotel room you will want to consider how you will be getting around.  Whether renting a car, driving your own car or taking a taxi or bus transportation, a mobility scooter rental that easily folds up or disassembles and is lightweight is essential. Besides portability the mobility scooter rental company must also accomodate deliveries to these type of facilities that may not have a check-in desk and therefore they will have to set up a delivery time with you and meet you at your villa directly, etc. and do the same for pick up.

While the Portofino Hotel at Universal Florida is on-site and provides transportation options to get to the theme parks and Universal Citywalk, there is still an unusual amount of walking required to get from and to each location and no matter your walking ability…a lot, some, a little or little to miniscule, a person can benefit from a mobility scooter rental.
