Electric Wheelchair Price

You can cover this under your home contents policy for accidental damage, theft etc.....Speak to them to arrange the cover - it should not be expensive.

With regards to extended warranty, I suggest you speak to the supplier. Be careful with these types of policy as they tend to be very expensive and provide little cover......I would suggest instead of paying this premium, put the money aside each month instead...this will build up over time, and will help towards the cost of any repairs etc if the wheelchair breaks down.

Good luck

My seventysomething mom-in-law walks short distances only with a cane (like from the car to the house) and cannot go up or down stairs at all due to a bad hip and leg and a previous stroke. She refuses to buy her own wheelchair, but she uses motorized carts in the store for grocery shopping. She has a handicapped license plate also. Is there somewhere close we can drop her off at the park?

This is excellent - it is compiled and kept up-to-date by a Disney fan who uses an EVC: http://allears.net/pl/ecv_faq.htm

Quoted from this website:
"There are at least two companies in the Orlando area that rent medical supplies, including wheelchairs and ECVs. The one I use is Care Medical (www.CareMedicalEquipment.com) Their daily rates are the same as Disney, but they give you a break on weekly rentals.

The Advantages to renting from an outside company include:
- You can have the scooter anywhere you go; minor parks, off-site, at the resorts, etc.
- The scooter is available whenever you need it, not just during park hours.
- You are assured of having wheels even when the parks have run out.
- You can get a vehicle that meets your specific needs (one that will disassemble to fit in a car trunk, or one that will accommodate a heavy person for example). Disney parks scooters are "One Size Fits All".
- Variable speeds - Disney scooters are set at "slow".

Disadvantages include:
- You must transport the scooter. That can mean waiting for a WDW van or accessible bus, dealing with ramps to the monorails and boats, or getting the scooter into and out of your own car/van under your own power.
- Rental scooters are like rental cars. They are most often driven by people who are unfamiliar with them, and they get a lot of rough usage. They can have mechanical problems and leave you stranded. Care Medical has always been great about replacing a defective machine for me - but I only know that because I've *had* a couple of defective machines.

*** Where can I rent an ECV or wheelchair at Walt Disney World? And how much does it cost?

-- Wheelchairs: $10 per day rental (There is a $100 deposit charged to your credit card per unit rented.); $8 per day Length of Stay rental
-- ECV Rental: $45 per day, with a $20 refundable deposit ($100 at Downtown Disney)

Disney has a Length of Stay rental ticket for strollers and wheelchairs. With the Length of Stay rental, you make a one-time payment for as many days of rental that you will need. Upon visiting a theme park, show your receipt at the stroller/wheelchair rental location and you will be directed through the queue with little or no wait. There is a slight discount when purchasing the Length of Stay rental ticket. The Length of Stay option is NOT offered during peak attendance times, however, such as Christmas.

At Walt Disney World Resorts -- Wheelchairs are available in limited numbers for guests at each Resort. Contact Lobby Concierge or the Front Desk for assistance. A $315 Deposit will be held on the guest room account, charged only if the wheelchair is not returned. If you want to guarantee the use of a wheelchair throughout your stay, contact a local rental company."
