No one has ever posted about renting from that company.
In fact, your post is the first time I have ever heard of them.

Funny, this is from your disABILITIES FAQ - that's where I learned of them.

Apple rents scooters and wheelchairs.
I rented from Apple for our trip this past Sept. this is the 3rd company in as many trips that we have used.... and this was the 1st time I had no issues with the scooter and power! I plan on renting from them again this Sept.....
.....
I got the four wheel version.....in retrospect and next time, I will get the 3 wheeler. Especially getting on/off the busses. The 3 wheeler is much easier. I had bus drivers get mad at me cause they said I should wasn't turning the wheel enough....A couple times I just got up and let them do it. They did no better job then I had done.
Also, remember...TURTLE IS YER FRIEND!
Used them in Jan. I rented the larger 3 wheel model and I loved it. Very easy to manuever even on ths buses. It was great and I will use them again
I was very nervous about that also especially with all the negative comments on this board. However I did not have any negative experiences. The bus drivers are marvelous and very helpful.The other people on the buses were friendly and very courteou. We were a party of 7 but only my DH came on with me, my DD and her family waited in line but we were always on the same bus. A couple of times there was another scooter or whelchair also. All in all I was 100% happy with my decision to rent from Apple and for the whole week. Also got to drive around and see the whole resort.This is the way to go to really enjoy if you have mobility issues.
Add me to the list of people who think Apple was awesome. The scooter was waiting for me when I got to my hotel (off property) and I ended up taking it back to the Apple store when I was done because it was on our way to I-4 but they would have picked it up from the hotel no problem.
I did the smaller 4 wheel model and had no problem at all getting on and off the bus. I had to do buses twice, once going from MGM to AK and once from MGM to TTC. Both times were easy in and easy out with very nice cm's helping me out.
Thank You both for the encourageing words about taking the scooters on the buses. We are staying at the BC so I did tell DH we could just go to Epcot and DHS skipping MK and AK since I am not sure about taking the scooters on the buses, he thinks I am being silly
Has anyone rented the 4 wheel scooter from Apple and place it in the trunk of a rental car? I'm trying to figure out if it's as easy as they say it is on their website. I am taking my mom with us for her first trip in April and I usually rent a car because I've learned my lesson with my kids. We stay at the parks till closing and then they end up falling asleep on the bus and the bus stop is usually much farther than the parking lot to get them to wake up and walk back to the room. I'm just hoping the scooter won't be too difficult to break down for transport. Also, we are staying at the Boardwalk Villas and will be walking/scooting to Epcot. Will a single charge last the length of the boardwalk and all day at the park?
Thank you in advance!
Patty
You're being silly... but I understand.
The bus drivers are really so helpful please don't let that stop you. And maybe DH would volunteer to load the scooter for you?
