All About Renting Scooters for Vacation

The world is opening up for people who have walking challenges.  Today people often use scooters .  These handy mobile machines are portable, and can be rented, or owned.  Many people use scooters for a variety of reasons including recoperating from a surgery, accident, or illness.  Other people have more chronic, long term mobility issues from Arthritus, Chronic Fatigue, MS, or other conditions.  Each of these populations can benefit from scooters.

One of the main questions when renting a scooter is when is the scooter going to be used?  Scooters can be rented back home, unaessembled fairly easily, and fit into the back of a car or van.  The advantages to renting the scooter from home is that the rental is usually cheaper, and the scooter is with you along the entire trip.  If you are planning a trip to the National Parks, the Beach, or a trip with multiple stops along the way I suggest renting the scooter from home.  The rental runs about 200.00 per week, but can be cheaper in other areas.

If you are going to be on a cruise, a large city, or flying into a resort area it may be better to rent the scooter at the destination.  Companies can deliver the scooter to your cabin or hotel room to simplify things.  Some cities, especially Orlando and Las Vegas have multiple companies that can assist the mobility challenged individual. 

So... if renting a scooter is getting in the way of planning a vacation I encourage everyone to GO FOR IT... and GET OUT OF TOWN!

35 years ago wheel chairs and walkers were mainly located in medical facilities.  If anyone talked about scooters it would be in reference to a child's toy.  Computers were big, bulky machines that had lots of possibilities, but were mainly used as glorified typewriters with memory.  That was the world I grew up in.

So today,10 years later, I honor Mom by helping other people wth mobility issues get out of their homes, and into the world again.
What a difference the scooter made!  We went to Disney World with 2 very active 6 year olds.  Disney World caters to people with mobility issues.

We rode all the buses and boats, which were accessible. She also went everywhere with us, including all the rides (unless she was too chicken for it).  Mom laughed all the way through Disney, and had NO PARKINSONS SYMPTOMS the whole vacation!

Years ago my mm had Parkinsons Disease, and thought she could not go on vacation with the family.  I refused to believe this, and  encouraged her to look into renting a scooter to help mobility and fatigure issues.

When it comes to accessible travel Vacation by V can help with Accessible Travel.
