Where to rent wheelchair?

[2thfairy]

We are here in Disney! Yeah! My husbands entire family is here with us. Grandma has had a knee replacement a few years back and we thought a wheelchair in the parks would be enough for her but we are finding walking from the busses to the hotel is taking its toll on her. Is there a place here in Florida to rent a chair from for the remainder of our stay?
Thanks
Melinda

We've always used Walker's Mobility for my mom's ECV down there and highly recommend them. However, for our Sept trip I have reserved and ECV from Apple Scooters, because they were quite a bit cheaper and also get good reviews here on the DIS. We always rent an ECV for her, but both companies also rent wheelchairs.
