Need help with scooter rental for WDW

[rochmom4]

I am planning a trip for my family for the summer of 2017. My father in law needs a scooter and we are staying on site. I tried calling CARE medical but they told me that they are going out of business next summer. I also tried calling Buena Vista Scooters but I haven't been able to get them on the phone. I tried sending a request on line but they have not called me back. I would welcome any suggestions or recommendations.

I have used Buena Vista Scooters and Walker Mobility and been pleased with both. Buena Vista can deliver and pickup from Bell Services which is very convenient. You have to meet the Walker delivery person. But Walker is the only company that states they have rain resistant scooters. That is important in Florida, in my opinion. I will choose Walker again for that reason.

That's interesting news! I wonder if anyone else has been told this?

Enjoy your vacation!

I used Walker Mobility for my first rental in October, and received such great service and a very reliable scooter that I reserved with them again for January Marathon weekend (I always think there's some irony that DH runs marathons, and I can barely walk a few steps). As far as being a non-featured provider, although the scooter wasn't waiting for me, after I checked in, I called, went outside and sat on a bench, a couple minutes later up came my scooter!

I have used Walker Mobility for years. They are the best around.

Call Walker and discuss your needs.

Like the others, I'm kind of surprised that CARE is going out of business. I hope all of their employees find work easily; everyone I dealt with there was always very kind and sweet.
