Which Wheelchairs?
Hi all it has been a while since I posted. I would really like your recommendations for wheelchair rentals. On our upcoming trip both DH and DD's BF will need to use wheelchairs at least part of the time. DD's BF will need to be able to take his to the room, so I figure we will do both rentals the same. But which company do I rent from. What experiences have you had? Thanks in advance

We rented my Mom an ECV from Buena Vista Scooters and was pleased with the experience.
They had the ECV waiting at the resort when we checked-in, and we had no issues with it for the whole trip. We charged the battery at night, and it lasted all day without issue. They do rent wheelchairs (both power and push).
When we left, we left the ECV at bell services, and they picked it up. Again, no issues.
It was much cheaper than renting from Disney, and she got to use it as the resort, which she needed.
I don't know if you want a wheelchair, or an ECV. Although the ECV is more expensive, it gives them much more freedom as well, since it doesn't need to be pushed.

When we were there in 04, my mother and MIL, both needed wheel chairs. We stayed at ASMusic and the resort gave us 2 chairs to use free of charge for the entire trip. Each resort has several chairs on hand and if they run out they will transfer one from another resort. Hope this helps.

I have never heard of free chairs at the resorts. My concern is that DD's BF may need to use it to go to the bus in the morning. I would prefer to have both chairs on hand in the rooms, just in case. When I go online there are several rental places to choose from and I would like to know what companies do other intercotees recommend/use? I don't mean to sound picky but both DH and BF have medical conditions that may require the use of a chair all day. Thanks for your help

Two companies besides the one recommended already is Walker's and Randy's. I would google them.
Can I go "home" yet?
Mickey where are you?

i heard about the free wheelchairs...i wanted one for my mom...i called the pop century hotel and the lady told me that you could only use the chairs at the hotel itself, and just to transfer to and from your room....but others have told me you get them for the entire trip...
