need quick answer re car type to fit WC /OR SCOOTER

[mackay_j]

Hi just so great offer on car hire but want to check my wheel chair will fit in boot as I have no idea of car types in US. Will a standard folding wheelchair the kind that someone else pushes- fit in Ford Escape or similar Midsize SUV 5-Door/Automatic. Also if I hire a scooter will it fold down to fit in some how (not so important as I could just use the disney transport if I have to).

Need answer ASAP as not sure how long the 30% discount will go on for


Thanks again for the help- this wheelchair stuff is pretty new to me so sorry for all the daft questions

I have a Honda Civic (compact car) at home and DD's manual wheelchair fits just fine.

IF your ECV "breaks down" into multiple pieces, it should also fit.

I think the big thing to consider with rental cars is what else you are taking besides the wheelchair. If you have four people plus four suitcases plus a wheelchair, you're going to need more space than just two plus a chair.

ECV will fit in a Ford Escape with no problems - even the heavy duty model.
