Mobility scooter rental Seattle

[kasowell2]

Taking our first Alaskan cruise out of Seattle. Can anyone recommend a company that rents scooters and has them in the ship when we get there. We are sailing Celebrity if that makes a difference

Check the Special Needs section of Celebrity.  It should tell you which companies it allows to deliver mobility devices to the ship.  EM

Celebrity allows SpecialNeedsatSea.com and scootaround.com personnel to deliver scooters to your room (or just outside check-in if you are in certain ports).    Both these companies basically have the same scooters for rent.   If you go with Scootaround, try this 15% discount code:   USCRUISE    It is from United Spinal Members (you will probably have to actually call and talk to someone at Scootaround to use this code; I've never been able to use it booking directly from their website).

 

Celebrity will also need to know about any mobility or special needs and they have a form for you to complete.   This link has Celebrity's Access Department contact information:  https://www.celebritycruises.com/special-needs/accessibility

 

Do you have an accessible stateroom?   Scooters cannot be left in the hall.

We used "Scootaround". They specialize in renting scooters and other equipment to vacationers and cruises

I would take your own if you can, The airlines work with us when we take ours

We use Scootaround for our Alaska cruise out of Seattle last year.  They had a booth right outside the terminal.  Easy to pick up and easy to drop off.

Thanks for the discount code!  I was able to successfully use it online.

I just requested quotes from both companies for a one-way rental for 24 nights from Ravenna Italy to Tampa.  Within the quote there is $250 ($10/day) for insurance which seems to be a pretty sizeable chunk (35%) of the total figure.  Your thoughts?

People will have differing thoughts on this, but I've never bought the insurance.   

You can remove the automatically-applied insurance if you decide not to have it.

For the price of what they charge for the rental, if you travel a lot it's better to go and buy your own scooter.  Golden Technologies Buzzaround was specifically built for the cruise market and folds down to 13".  Can even fit in a non HC cabin since it's 18.5" wide.
