Scooter
and Wheelchair Rentals
I
just returned from our trip to Las Vegas. I have to
tell you that your service and product made my stay
the best thing that has happened to me in many years.
We arrived at our hotel and the scooter was waiting
for me, which after our plane trip was a total blessing!
When we were leaving Las Vegas, all we did was drop
the scooter off with our Bellman, and not worry about
anything else.
I am a powerfully proportioned woman (okay...I'm big),
and the "Heavy Duty Model" wheeled me around
like I was a feather. My husband and I saw a lot of
the sights...which lasted from mid morning until at
least mid night. The battery stayed charged and only
had to be plugged in during the night. I was so pleased
that I'm telling everyone I know about your company.
We had not been anywhere in 22 years because of my illnesses
and immobility, but things are now going to change.
I just wish I had known about your company years ago.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I will
be calling you again to book another scooter.
Please keep up the great service as it gives worry-free
travelling to people like myself who could not embark
on any kind of holiday! I love you "Scootaround"!!!
Thank You Kindly,
Deborah V.
I'd
just like to thank Scootaround for their help during
our stay at Disney World. Though Disney offered scooters
in all the parks, you could not park hop with them,
and by the time you went to another park, all the scooters
were rented. My wife and I could not have enjoyed our
visit like we did without our Scootaround scooter. We
tooled around for eight days, and not once did the power
charge drop from full charge on any day. Awesome!! Thanks
again.

I want to just say that the scooter was the best idea
I have ever had. I used this scooter for 7 days and
really enjoyed my stay in New Orleans!! My son came
over from Florida and we went down to Bourbon Street
on a Saturday night. I rode the scooter right down the
middle of the street and enjoyed the activities that
were going on. We really had a wonderful time and this
scooter gave me the freedom from worry. I could just
go anywhere and not worry about being so tired. Thanks
for being there for me!!
I had cancer in 2001 and really got down especially
in energy. I was just getting back to being able to
exercise and walk when I broke my ankle. That was the
reason I was down this time. I will never hesitate to
call you again if I need to. Thanks again.

I
just wanted to say thank you for the great service you
provide. Not only was I able to to spent a great visit
with Mom in New York City, because I could get her around
in one of your wheelchairs, but your representative
here was communicative, accomodating to my schedule,
and made sure I understood how to operate the chair
befoe he left it with me. He's a gem! I have mentioned
your service to anyone who will listen. Thanks again,

This
testimonial was sent to the MS
Foundation whom we are proud to have as a partner
with the Clarence Vincent Foundation.
I
read your article in a past magazine. As always, you
are my best MS news source. I have been travelling to
Washington for the last 18 months. Each time I drive
by new sites on the National Mall in a taxi with sadness.
I thought that I would never be able to visit the new
memorials and museums on the Mall. Then I read your
article. On my last trip I rented an electric scooter
from Scootaround. Wow! For the modest cost of $65. I
was able to rent a scooter as transportation for the
day. I got to see everything I wanted. What an experience!
Thanks for letting your readers know this valuable information.
I had a great time visiting the Museum of Natural History,
the WW II memorial, the FDR memorial, the Lincoln memorial
and the Korean War memorial. It was easy and fun. Time
and again you give me a new lease on life.

Tours of D.C. and New Orleans
We
had a wonderful time on the Scootaround tour -- it was
worth every penny! My dad is a veteran and very patriotic.
He is disabled and would not have been able to get around
if not for your service. Thank you, Thank you! I recommended
your company to my sister. She and her husband are going
to "Bike the Sites" tomorrow.
Thanks again,

"I
could not pick out a best part; the entire tour was
fabulous. I felt our guide, Lynn, was tops in performing
her duties, she made it so much fun. I loved the way
she led us all around people by just saying "beep-beep"
and here we all followed. I enjoyed going across the
river on the ferry and then stopping on top of the levi
to look across at the church and the city of New Orleans.
I was impressed with our guide's personality and her
knowledge of all the history of the area. By giving
up her Mother's Day appointment to go to church with
her Mom and taking us on the tour was quite a commitment."

"After
a cancelled tour due to a mix up with another tour agency,
we found a flyer for Scootaround at Mardi Gras World.
The folks at Scootaround went through extraordinary
efforts to accomodate our group of 7 with only one day's
notice. After a brief intro to the scooters, we were
off. The tour was delightful and very informative. Our
tour guide, Lynn, went out of her way to show us the
sights of New Orleans. Her knowledge of the town and
it's history was impressive. With the wireless intercom
system no one was left out and we could hear everything
that was said. Our group ranged from age 38 to 70 and
the scooters made it possible to see more than we would
have been able to on our own. The scooters are fun and
very comfortable. I'm glad we didn't have to stand on
scooters the whole time like with the other tour agency.
The Scootaround tour was one of the major highlights
of our vacation."

"The
trip, was great fun.. The guide was fabulous-certainly
in my 20 years in DC the most knowlegable and charming
and professional. A total delight. Pedestrains were
polite and made way for us. I must say, looking at the
walking pedestrians that day, I was happy to be on the
scooters. They were exhausted and starting to lose interest
at the various monuments as the day wore on. But, sitting
on the scooter, in the shade, taking the time to hear
the background, and then moving on to the next monument
was a sheer delight. Thank you for arranging it all.
Kelly was an absolute pleasure and made every effort
to give me the information I needed.
The
FDR Memorial was a favorite -- it was our companion's
80th birthday and his wife surprised him with this package.
His main interest was the war memorials, and being able
to go and touch names of friends on the plaques, brought
tears to his eyes and everyone watching. I am in the
straw in all black. The grandson was too young to scoot
so he took a bike.

Thank
you so much for helping me obtain a scooter at eBay
Live. This was the first time I have ever used a scooter
and I was nervous and shy about doing so. My disability
is MS and to date I have been able to get around okay
but not for any length of time. I had wondered about
how I was going to get from one workshop to the next
and the scooter solved that problem.
The
most important thing that the scooter did for me was
show me that I in fact do need some help “scooting”
around. What happened was amazing. I found that since
I did not have to spend time and lots of physical and
mental energy getting around that I in fact had tons
of renewed mental energy. There have been times I have
wondered about my cognitive abilities and in using the
scooter I saw it was not about my brain power, it was
all about my energy power. I had an amazing time at
eBay Live
You
were wonderful in finding a way to make this work for
me and an angel in helping me find ways to help myself.
I look forward to using the scooter again this week
in Toronto. If you ever need a happy customer recommendation
and/or a good reference keep me in mind. I would be
glad to pass on my experience with you! And of course
a good word for Scootaround!
Warmly,
Mary B.

Approximately
five years ago I was fortunate to discover Scootaround
and their service for my convention needs. For the first
couple of years, Scootaround was the supplier of wheelchairs
and motorized scooters for my annual national convention
and I handled the rental on-site. The service, dependability
and product have been exceptional. I was impressed that
they were able to work with me no matter what city my
convention was held.
Two
years ago, we entered into a full contract with Scootaround
where they now not only provide the equipment needed,
they also supply the staffing and handle the complete
rental/lease program for our attendees on site at our
convention. Scootaround also provides a link from our
on line registration for easy advance ordering.
We
continue to receive compliments on the service and the
product. Our members appreciate the consideration we
have for their mobility needs and the convenience that
this service provides.
If
you are looking for assistance with mobility needs at
your meetings or conventions, I highly recommend Scootaround.

Scootaround
has provided scooter/wheelchair rentals through our
three locations in the Orange County Convention Center
for the past year, and the process has been both simple
and effective.
My
staff directs customers to the Scootaround Hotline telephone
for equipment orders and other rental questions. I'm
happy to let the rental customers be taken care of by
the professionals at Scootaround and also, the telephone
service frees up my staff for other tasks.
The
people at Scootaround also help greatly during our large
events by personally setting up and running a rentals
booth. Their staff has always been professional, and
overall, they provide an excellent service.
I
would recommend Scootaround for anyone looking for a
top-notch supplier.
