UGH I hope I didn't make a mistake (ecv rental)!

I need a scooter for two nights before a cruise and one night after and I booked Scooterbug due to the convivence of their drop off and their price for the short periods I need. Now I am reading all kinds of horrible reviews. Did I make a mistake? Any good reviews for Scooterbug. Seems like since it is Disney's preferred vendor it would be a good company.

Thanks,

I had scooter break down with that one but have nothing but great things to say about Golds mobility. For the cruise though I’m leaving from FLL so I booked through the vendor recommended by RCL. I’m so nervous using someone new but the convenience of them delivering and collecting from my room is great. Just be sure the battery is charged and always take your charger cable with you as well as the emergency contact number.

Thanks! I do not need it on the ship. Using Gold will cost me more than double what Scooterbug costs, which is why I went with them. Hoping I have no hassels! Thanks though for your thoughts and experience! I do appreciate it!

I've never had scooterbug beat what I see on GM

Do like that we can get scooter delivered to wdw, do a split trip and stay onsite @ one of Loews properties at U & we can leave it will bell services when ckg out. No fuss

Keep in mind that the term "preferred provider" simply means Scooterbug doesn't require YOU to meet & greet the vendor rep. They leave the scooter for you. (which could be a huge factor in a 7am pick up)
Regarding the 7am pick up - I'm honestly unsure about that early of a time and would call GOLD directly before you book it. The earliest I've had was a 7;45AM time.
I always do a park or Dis Springs on check out day and schedule my pickup between 4pm and 5. Scooterbug would simply drop it off the prior day (but I'd make sure to confirm with them as well).

The chosen time is not guaranteed

I am starting to plan for Dec 2025, and Am considering this very thing. Gold mobility or Scooterbug. I have rented form Gold Mobility in the past and had nothing but stellar experiences with them. I would like to use them again, but now that Scooterbug is the "preferred provider" it complicates things. We will possibly be staying offsite on arrival night and I worry about making rope drop that first day with a 7:00 am delivery. Does anyone have experience with a 7:00 am drop off from Gold Mobility? Will it leave us enough time to make early morning hours? We are also thinking of doing a park on our Disney check out day, so that will cause a problem with pickup.

Chosing a time does not guarantee the exact time. There is a window..which they state. They call you the day or so to advise time. I wanted EE the first day so have delivery for day before. Gold is great at communicating. You have their cell for contact for flight delay
