Rent vs. Buy

When to Rent a Mobility Scooter

  • You should rent a mobility scooter, if you’re going on vacation, or heading out of town for a short period of time. Scooters disassemble and reassemble easily for transport while you are on vacation or just on the go.

  • You should also consider renting a mobility scooter during recovery from a surgery, illness, or injury. Mobility scooters do not take a physical toll on your body. Since you’re seated while operating a scooter, you don’t have to rely on body strength. Scooters can help your muscles heal faster.

  • A rental can even be a good choice while your current scooter is being repaired.

When to Buy a Mobility Scooter

  • You should invest in a mobility scooter if you’ll need to use one on a regular or long term basis.

  • It can be both inconvenient and expensive to spend money regularly renting a mobility scooter. Mobility scooters are allowed on almost all forms of public transportation, this includes buses and airplanes.

  • Mobility scooters aren’t just a good idea for those who are unable to walk, they’re also important for those who find their ability to walk limited.
