Using EVC on Universal transportation

[Julie Amber]

We'll be staying at PBH in August and I'll have an EVC for mobility. It's my first time staying on site and having the scooter. So I'm just making sure that I can ride on the boat transportation to and from the parks in my EVC. Will I have any struggle with that?

It won’t be a problem taking your evc on the boat
They can load at least two evc each trip

A ramp is put down for you to load your chair to the boat
If you need assistance with this, they can drive it onto the boat.

The chairs are loaded first on the boat before passengers.
And they are first to exit the boat once you reach City Walk

Hope you have a fantastic time at the hotel and parks !

I can confirm what Macraven has said. My wife uses an EVC.

Confirmed regarding boats.....Both the walking path and the "shortcut" through HRH parking lot can be easily driven by an ECV.

Are you renting? PBH bell services will accept delivery of rental ECVs.

Yes I'll be renting. I was in Disney World last week and rented and it was a fabulous experience

Universal's website lists 4 approved ECV vendors. Currently vendors not on the list are still allowed to drop off and pick up through bell services. I've had good experiences with Gold Mobility. The bellhop who takes your luggage when you arrive will get your scooter for you.

I'd avoid the optional rear basket if you're renting a full size scooter with Gold. It easily fits in the lift at the Hogsmead station for the Hogwarts Express. At the London station you have to either remove the basket or get the scooter in at an angle.

edited to add ECV from PBH to City walk is a piece of cake, for the guest driving the ECV. Your traveling companions, walking, may be a different issue.
