5 Things to Know Before Renting a Mobility Scooter

Renting a mobility scooter can be a game-changer for staying active, exploring your community, or enjoying a holiday with ease. Whether it’s your first time or you’re helping a loved one, here are five key things to know before getting started.

1. Know What You Need It For

Different scooters suit different needs. Some are compact and foldable—perfect for shopping trips or fitting into a car boot—while others are built for hills, longer travel, and outdoor terrain. Consider:

• Travel distance

• Terrain (flat paths, hills, grass)

• Portability (does it need to fit in a car?)

• Weight capacity

Tip: Our small, medium, and heavy-duty scooters cover everything from flat paths to hill climbing—just ask us if you’re unsure.

2. Understand the Rental Process

Renting is simple, but it helps to know the process upfront. At Sunshine Coast Mobility, we make it as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Choose your scooter

2. Enquire online or by phone

3. We deliver to your door (fast, local, and flexible)

 We recommend booking early during peak times to secure your preferred model.

3. Check Delivery Radius & Fees

We offer free delivery within 20km of Caloundra, making it easy for locals and visitors alike. For longer distances, a small travel fee may apply.

If you’re unsure whether your location is included, just reach out—local knowledge is part of our service.

4. Safety & Comfort Matter

All of our scooters are fully charged, serviced, and safety-checked before delivery. We’ll show you how to use it, and every model features:

• Padded seating

• LED lights

• Simple controls

• Suspension for a smoother ride

We’re locally owned and offer ongoing support if you need help during your rental.

5. Flexible Terms Are Available
