This is an offshoot from an earlier thread. Gluman11 had mentioned the use of a company called "Scootaround" which I had not heard of. He appeared satisfied with their service. AMF then provided a link, which I followed. I also made a phone call to the company.

Scootaround, Inc is located in Winnipeg, Canada. They have about 500 locations worldwide, with Tampa being the closest to Orlando. Their URL is www.scootaround.com and they have a toll-free number of 1-888-441-7575.

They also have wheelchairs, not just ECVs. Their current rates (including pickup and delivery) are based on time blocks. The minimum rental is three days for $150.00, then it jumps to $200.00 for up to a week. Ten days is $260.00 and longer rentals are possible. For more than 300 pounds they have heavy duty scooters at higher prices.

The web site does provide links to locations concerning both technology and accessible travel. It does not have any large pictures of the ECVs, or information concerning disassembly or assembly.

Based on the information they provided to me and Gluman11's comments, I am going to include them on my standard blurb about ECVs.
 
Hello Cheshire Figment - thanks for the great post about Scootaround, we appreciate the referral!

The post is a couple years old now, but since nothing on the Internet really ever goes away, I thought I'd offer a quick update.

1. I think we've grown a bit since the original post - we now serve over 1500 locations across North America, including more than 80 cruise ports worldwide. Our largest warehouse is located right in Orlando and serves all of Florida.

2. Our 3-day rate for Orlando and Disneyworld is $85, and a ten day rental would be $180. We've done some research on this, and we believe we have the best price in Orlando.

You can see the rates for equipment, and even book online at our website (sorry, can't post links yet!)

3. You can find user manuals (including assembly/disassembly instructions) for dozens of equipment types on our Resources page of our website.

If you'd like any more information or images, or anything at all really, I'd be happy to help!

Thank you for the update - since this thread is quite old, I will close it now.
