ECV Questions

[katmigordon]

Does anyone know if a reliable rental place that will drop off at one hotel on property and pick up at another? We would like to do the first couple of nights at a value and our last night at AKL.

Can a lyft xl do 2 ECVs?

Will an accessible room at the values hold 2 Ecvs?

Gold Mobility will definitely do this, just let them know pickup will be at a different.location. we have done this a few times. They also have the best prices, equipment and customer service. Just know they have a flat rate for the first 7 nights, but that often is less expensive than 3 nights from their competitors.

And even a non accessible room at the values will accommodate two large ECVS (Pride Maxima's), so an accessible room should be no problem.

Lyft can't even do one ECV, but the Minnie Vans are returning this summer and they do have ones that can accomodate two. They are slightly more expensive than a regular.Lyft, but are driven by cast members. They only work on property though.

If looking to go off property, get to the Ticketing and Transit Center or Disney Springs and take public transit, most rides will be about $3 per person and the drivers have all been very friendly. It will be easier with the Victory 10 or 10.2 models than the Maxima model, especially if you have two ECVs in your party

Yeah, we kept two ECVs in a standard room at Pop Century and it was fine. If you do find that you’re too cramped, you can have Mousekeeping remove the table and chairs to make more room.

By drop off, do you mean with you there to meet them or not? Only Scooterbug is allowed to drop off without the guest being there.

I second Gold Mobility. The quality and condition of their equipment far outranks Scooterbug. You do have to meet them for pickup/ drop off, but their service was worth it ImHO.
They will pick up & drop off at different resorts.

I think most if not all of the vendors folks around here use will do pick-up/drop-off at different WDW resorts. Just let them know at the time you make the reservation.

ScooterBug is the only vendor allowed to utilize Bell Services at the WDW resorts. All other vendors will meet you in person for pick-up and return. Some have a set schedule and others will schedule based on your timing.

Lyft will not work with 2 ECVs. I suggest since you are onsite that you use WDW transportation on the change day. Let Bell Services transfer the luggage, and you head to a park or Disney Springs or such. Then go to your new resort; your luggage should arrive by 4pm.

Yes, 2 ECVs will fit in an HA value room.

Not sure if you want to do it this way but you can go to the park of your choice when you leave your first resort by Disney transportation and then enjoy your day at the park and then when your day is done use Disney transportation to get to your new, second resort with the two scooters.

Some of the vendors (I think Apple scooters was one) have started charging an extra fee to pickup from a different resort than drop off.

Gold Mobility has done it for me several times. As a matter of fact, this last time was the first time in about 4-5 trips where drop-off and pick up were at the same place, and the guy who dropped it off seemed surprised.

 

[Bethctraveler]

Gold Mobility has for us several times now when we split our stays between two resorts. You can even drop off at a Disney resort and pick up at a Universal resort. The rentals Gold Mobility has are far better and nicer than any of the other companies we have ever used before them. Our group uses 4 scooters each visit and we fit 2 in each room no problem.

I'd add that you have to have a park reservation before heading to "the park of your choice".

I don't think any of the major companies charge for a return pick up from a different WDW resort. This IS NOT a Goldmobity unique benefit.

I'd like to see a link from a company with such a charge

I know at least one did for a while, but definitely not a unique benefit for it to be free.

Do you have a link? I'm skeptical

I believe it was Apple scooters, but not sure, it may have been one of the ones that went out of business, no matter which it is, it doesn't appear they are doing it now, likely they were testing the waters to see what people would accept and it didn't go over well for obvious reasons. just saying watch for it to make sure.

Or it was a fee for the company to transport a scooter between the 2 hotels.

 

[Bethctraveler]

Yes, I believe that's true the companies charge if you have a second pickup and a second drop off during the same rental week for transporting your scooter a second time for you. I don't think any of them charge for the pick up and return deliveries. I just use the bus to move the scooter myself if I'm staying on Disney property.

Gold won't move the scooter between hotels. An issue if you're transferring between a Disney hotel and a Universal hotel. Golds options are to book a Mears accessible taxi or book it as 2 rentals.
