Mobility Scooter Rental Venice Embarkation

[OnlyMe]

Hi,

 

Has anyone rented a scooter for a cruise sailing out of Venice?

Can you tell me what companies please?

There seem to be very few.

Is this for use DURING the cruise? or to use in Venice?

Did you check with the cruiseline?

Trya search on the Disabled Cruise Travel forum. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=190

Tia, You might try to repost this on the "Special Internet Cruising" blog where you will find a Disabled Cruising topic...which has a Disabled Europe Cruise sub-topic :). And if you are planning on using a scooter in Venice..you might want to also seek advice (on that blog) since that city is a real challenge for scooters.

special needs at sea and care vacations are the ones specialising in hiring for cruises

 

however got a quote from one for a weeks hire-£300!!

 

half the cost of a new one or buy a second hand one for that!

 

yes Venice a big challenge for wheels due to the number of steps and bridges

 

on board ship you may need an accessible cabin or check the scooter will go through the cabin door-even if it does will take up a lot of room in the cabin as they are not to be left in corridoors
