Wheelchair Rental

[Peter64]

Hi

Has anyone hired a wheelchair in the park. We are going to hire one for our 9 year old son rather than bringing his own,and I know that they are 150 euros to hire, but can you take them out of the park and back to the hotels or do you have to return them every day ?
Also how easy are they to use, are they standard wheelchairs ?

We rented a wheelchair for my wife in July 2007 as she had broken her ankle a couple of weeks before our visit. The 150 euros charge is actually a refundable deposit which allows you to take the wheelchair out of the parks. I think the actual rental fee was about 7 euros per day but we did not have to pay this as we are Dream AP holders.
We were not actually staying on site and kept the chair for the whole week we were there.
The wheelchairs themselves are easy to use. They are standard chairs with large rear wheels and will also fold for putting in car boot etc if required.

Thanks for the reply. That's great that we can take it out of the park!
