Orlando scooter rental, 150.00 a week?

Anyone used this company before? they say they will beat out the competition
150.00 for a scooter sounds pretty good to me. I just need to know if anyone has used them and if there good to deal with.

I used them this past May. I will not use them in the future. I was charged an additional $300 a week after I returned home for missing parts of a medical buggy and scooter key that I turned in with my scooter to bell services. I had to call bell services for two days to find the missing part that disney did not return to the company. They did credit my card for the returned property however I was not at all happy to have to read my bank statement to find out about the extra charges and was never notified or called. They had my cell phone as well as my home numbers. The scooter that was delivered was very used and had power surges. i willl rent from Buena Vista or scooterrama in the future. the aggrivation was not worth the $40 savings.

we used Buena Vista Scooters for my Mother in August 2010. Cost $125 for 3 days, it was well worth it. delivered to the resort, well maintained and fully charged.

I thought he was charging $210, that is a good price. I would stick with Buena Vista, Walker's, Scooterama, and Randy's Mobility. i personally have seen Randy and Walker's at the parks for guests. Let us all know how your trip went.

I have used Buena Vista three times and been very happy.

I had a very bad experience with Apple Scooter (scooter kept dying and they promised to deliver one to the parks but kept me waiting HOURS).

Would just like to say that if you have ANY issues with a scooter--surging, losing charge, etc. call the company you rented from IMMEDIATELY and have them switch it out. It isn't worth the aggravation to deal with a scooter that is not working properly when you are paying good money for it.

Problems with scooters also take away valuable vacation time. Thanks for the tip!

We have rented from Randy's for my mother and sister in-law, renting this time around for myself instead of using my chair.

I LOVE RANDY'S. they are great. He gives you his cell phone number so you can reach him whenever you need to and they go into the parks to replace if you have a problem.

The service was AMAZING and we have loved it.
