Where can a rental EVC be dropped off?

[JenLT]

We are planning on going directly to Hollywood Studios when we get to WDW. We are driving and will be early in the day so our rooms won't be ready. We are also going to rent a scooter. But I know they can't drop them off at the park. Has anyone ever picked the EVC up somewhere else? Like maybe the parking lot of a store close to the parks? Or do we just have to go to the resort and deal with that before going to the park? We are staying at Shades of Green and I'm really not sure how complicated the drop off procedure there will be. I was hoping to get to the park before the lines get too long.

Some of the companies have a physical location i know Buena.Vista has an office. AFAIK Gold does not. You can call around

Edited to add I mean a physical location which allows customer access

Gold does have a physical location that you can pickup at. But subsequently shades of green isn't actually a Disney resort, check with them on their policy, bell services may be able to accommodate.

I suggest using Gold, they will work with you to find the best solution.

Q: Can I pick up or drop off rental equipment from your warehouse?


A: Due to Gold Mobility Scooters nature of white-gloved personalized delivery and pick up, our warehouses are administrative only and cannot accept pick up or deliveries at this time.

I'm renting from Gold for our upcoming trip and on Gold's website they list that they can drop off at bell services for Shades of Green. We haven't actually experienced that yet, but you could likely call them or Shades to confirm.

That is correct, but they have a showroom that can accommodate if you call and speak with them. You just can't pickup at their warehouse, there is a difference.

You need to be there for delivery at a parking lot, so why not just meet them at your resort? Isn't it the same situation? And then you wouldn't have to deal with getting it into a vehicle - would you even have room for it in your vehicle?

Yes we will have room. I plan to drive to and from the parks. It’s looking like I will probably have to meet them at the resort. But I have to drive past Hollywood Studios to get to Shades of Green. I know it’s only about 15 minutes from the park to the resort but that adds 30 mins to the pick up time. I don’t know how complicated meeting someone to get the EVC will be there. I was really hoping to get in the park before the lines got super long. But I’ve been doing some research about stacking Genie + LL’s so combined with DAS Advance selections it should be okay to get there later.

So, looking at it, I believe at Shades of Green they can drop it off at bell services, if so, no need to meet them. Just pickup the scooter and go.

That would be nice!

Yeah, just call Gold Mobility and talk with them, they will let you know what options there are. By the way, under some circumstances, I know they have even met people just outside the parks for delivery, but I believe you have to prepay that one, as I dont think they are allowed to collect money there. They are generally pretty flexible, so best is to call and ask them.
