cj_one2000 Posted December 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Can any one recommend a wheelchair rental company near Galveston that will deliver to the Port of Galveston? There is an elderly person in my family reunion group that has a very hard time getting around long distances and we are hoping to rent a wheelchair for use on the ship and ports. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galveston Cruiser Posted December 22, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The only medical supply in Galveston is Behrens at 2902 R 1/2 409-621-1167. You should also check with the cruise line as they have wheel chairs aboard the ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachesncream4u Posted December 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 24, 2015 We rented one through the cruise line a few years ago for my mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted December 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 24, 2015 The cruise line should be able to refer you to a company they have an agreement with to rent a wheelchair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookwife Posted December 25, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Never hurts to ask; it's either yes or no:) There is now a charge and they have very few of them. It is also nearly impossible to get one for your sole use the entire cruise. Had it happen to people we met in the CL. They had to fight tooth and nail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLady Posted December 26, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) There are two companies that specialize in renting wheelchairs, rollators, etc to cruisers: http://specialneedsatsea.com http://www.carevacations.com Edited December 26, 2015 by NMLady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
