Mobility Rental Checklist: What to Have Ready Before Your Scooter or Wheelchair Arrives

A little prep before your rental arrives makes the first day smooth instead of stressful. Here is the checklist we wish every customer had.

Before you book

• Rider's height and weight. This decides which scooter or chair fits. See weight limits.
• Seat width. For wheelchairs, see how to measure.
• Where it will be used. Boardwalk, hills, sand or gravel all point to different equipment.
• Who will lift it. If a caregiver loads the car, choose a transport chair or GoGo travel scooter.

At your home or rental

• Steps at the entrance? Add a foldable ramp. See the ramp guide.
• Doorway width. Measure the narrowest door the chair or scooter must pass.
• Somewhere to charge. A regular outlet near where the scooter will be parked overnight.
• Clear paths. Move rugs and clutter from the main routes.

In the car

• Check trunk space before pickup. See folding vs non-folding.
• Plan for an accessible parking placard if you have one.

On day one

Take a practice ride somewhere quiet. Our first-time scooter tips cover the basics.
