DIsneyland increasing price for stroller and ECV wheelchair rentals

[DL1WDW2]

Increase in price apparently for re-opening


I wonder how this compares with WDW. Have recent price increase been announced for both parks?

Remember that to my knowledge, Scooterbug runs the rentals at all So Cal theme parks and zoos, except USH and it is Scooterbug that sets the prices at each.

There is still a lot of inconsistency though, for example SeaWorld San Diego is almost $100 with no deposit refund. San Diego Zoo offers discounts for members. No idea why such wide price differences, but Disney didn't do the price increase, Scooterbug did and they have done a price increase for all So Cal locations, as I said to varying degree.

If you need a scooter at Disneyland, I can definitely recommend Select Mobility Scooters at http://anaheimscooters.com
I put the full link per the currently requested rules as I have seen them, if that is wrong, please let me know.

They cost least, about $48 out the door for a single day, last all day, have more power and are more comfortable. They are located at the Best Western directly across Harbor from Disneyland. And depending on availability, they often offer parking for the same cost as Disney's parking for those renting from them and is substantially closer than the parking lot without a tram. You can also drop off after hours with them. And if you are staying at a local hotel, they will deliver.

As a comparison, Disney World prices are $50 plus a $20 refundable deposit for ECVs.

To my knowledge, WDW prices have not increased for a quite a while: $15/day for strollers, $12/day for wheelchairs and $50/day for ECVs.

Yeah, again inconsistent since it is also run by Scooterbug.......I really have no idea how they determine what to charge where.

LOL throw random numbers into a hat, and pull them out until they get one they like?

Sounds about right.

Not sure if others have seen. Disneyland got new scooters! They are now a 3 wheel model and blue. They look smaller than the old gray behemoths! We will probably still just do a wheelchair, but will take a peek at them when we are there on 5/11.

Maybe it's just me, but for $80 a day, I'd be looking for the Lamborghini of mobility scooters!

Nah, Pride won't let them cripple the speed to slower than a snail.

Well, you do get $20 of that back, but $60 is still outrageous........Sea World is $98 with tax and no deposit refund though, that should be an Aston Martin of mobility scooters.....lol

Do you have anywhere that has pictures?

I have seen pictures on Facebook. I gave the best description I could. Blue, 3 wheeled, smaller basket. They did look a bit like the Victory Pride that someone else mentioned. I am sure they are set to snail though.

Any particular place on Facebook?

Honestly, I am in a lot of Facebook Disney groups, and have seen a couple pictures. I see a screenshot on Micechat from Dusty's life. But someone had a great picture from the garage of the new strollers, new ECVs, and wheelchairs all lined up for renting there. Looks like that was in Mouse4Life.

Ok, I saw a picture and they are not Victory 10s, they are ones that Scooterbug has had custom made in China. I have seen the same model as off-site Scooterbug rentals in WDW. Basically they tried to make it look high quality, but failed to actually make it high quality and even failed to make it look high quality. People at WDW were having nothing but issues from what I saw. I think these might actually be worse than the old ones, time will tell.
