Has anyone used Gold Mobility for scooter rental?

How has drop off been? I see 7am is the earliest time available. Are they pretty prompt?

Thank you!

The last time I did a drop off at 7am they were a little early actually. They are very good at being on time.

Did you see this post?

SCHEDULING: READ ME * : Your Delivery & Pick up times are your * REQUESTED * times. Due to logistics (such as some resorts being further than others and availability), it is likely your delivery and/or pickup times may be adjusted within an hour of the selected time ESPECIALLY for 7am and 6pm requests!

We used Gold for many years. Service was always good. Pricing was competitive.

The only reason we stopped using them was needing to add a scooter last minute and Gold was sold out, so we tried a small company. What we loved with this smaller company was being able to schedule late pick-ups, like 10pm and 11pm. And better pricing!

I would’ve went back to Gold. We used them the 10 trips prior, no complaints. The price increases were getting out of hand though. 7 years ago we paid $150 for what today they are asking $250. After that smaller company came through in a pinch, with much better pricing, we’ve become loyal to them the last 3 trips. So far no complaints.

The policy isn't new. The clear explanation is somewhat new.

Drivers deliver in areas (zones). You're the only 7a drop off request. Your scooter will be delivered at 7a.

Assume Gold has a 7a drop off request for guests staying at POP, AoA and CBR. The drop off times will be adjusted so 2 guests aren't complaining about a late drop off.

Several times I was given a choice of drop off times an hour apart. I requested 10:30. A day before I was asked if I'd prefer 10 or 11.

I asked for 11, arrived closer to 10 and texted the driver. I had the scooter in about 10 minutes

Yes, but when someone is asking how prompt they are... expecting 7am and getting shifted to 7:15 or 7:30 may make them late for an ADR.

True. Bell service delivery is a plus for Swan and Dolphin. Bell service delivery is a plus for scooterbug.

Unless they are banned on here, can I ask what the company's name is? While Gold is our preferred company when we do need to rent, always good to have options, I mean what if they are sold out, etc.?

I wasn’t positive but see no reason why I couldn’t share.

This is a small family run company I believe. The one thing I will say for Gold is they keep the scooters in very good condition. This company was fine, just a tad more ‘worn in’ lol. Not a huge difference in condition overall though. These scooters worked just fine and I really liked the lower prices and the willingness to pick it up so late when we were done.

The company is Noble Mobility. Each ECV was $187 for the week. Gold now wants $225, even after their typical 10% discount from $250/wk.

This is our receipt from Feb 2025 for 2 scooters.

I can't see the image, but it doesn't look like the Victory 10 comes with the captains seat through them (something DH and I both need), Also doesn't seem to have cup holders, cell phone holder or fans or a USB port, all included with Gold Mobility. And the damage waiver is extra, when I add as close to that as possible by adding a cushion, the USB charger, the cup holder, the damage waiver, etc. I end up with a week costing $240 and it still doesn't have a fan. Now, if those things aren't important to you, then yes, the base price is less expensive, but just remember to compare apples to apples, I am not saying it is bad, just that you should be aware of the differences.

remember to compare apples to apples,

Gold didn't have a scooter available one time. Golds delivery scheduling didn't work another trip.

Gold didn't even make the cut for an Apples to Apples comparison. Gold lost by default.

I think the Victory now has a USB port as standard.

Availability trumps included accessories.

Staying at Swan or Dolphin solves scheduling issues.

Yes, granted, sorry my point was for future reference, if you are just looking at price (assuming both have availability)
