Topic: Question about renting an EVC

My question is where is the best place to rent? The second question is where is he best place to stay if you are using a EVC that you can get to the Convention Center and DL?

I have used Alan's Wheelchairs in the past, and they were usually pretty good, but we had one breakdown, and another time the battery seemed to lose its charge quite rapidly. So this time I rented from Scooter Village, phone number (714) 956-5633. The scooter looked brand new, it operated perfectly, the battery held a full charge all day, they deliver and pick up from local hotels for free, and their customer service was absolutely outstanding. I highly recommend them. Oh, AND, he gave me one day free on a six-day rental. Love, love, love Scooter Village! When you call, tell Shola (the owner, I believe) that Sue from Texas sent you and said to tell him hello! ;-)

So Mom used the scooter to get back and forth between DL and the hotel. She usually made two trips back and forth daily (she rests in the afternoon) and spent roughly 6 or 7 hours a day driving around in the parks. And as I mentioned before, her battery kept a full charge the entire day doing all of that.
