I am planning ahead for a trip to Disneyland/California Adventure for May 2023, and I have some questions.
First, some information.
My group is 8 people, 6 of which will need ECVs.
We are larger, but I believe everyone is about or under 350lbs,
We are staying in a rented house about 1.5 miles away from Disney.
Our overall trip will be a 10 day trip, however we only need the ECVs for 7 of those days.
(1st Night Downtown Disney, then I have 5 day park tickets I'm spreading out over 6 days).
After much deliberation, we're thinking of renting the ECVs offsite and then riding them to/from the park everyday. That would be 3 miles, and then the average inside Disneyland is said to be 10 miles. I need an ECV that would be able to do this without a recharge in the middle, because I've read that actually finding a convenient place to charge is pretty difficult for 1 ECV, and we'll have 6!
So, after looking through the boards, it seems the two favorites are Deckert and Select Mobility.
Select Mobility has a pretty detailed website. Deckert...not so much.
I tried emailing Deckert for more info, and have been met with silence so far.
I am SUPER anxious over the phone and would like to avoid that if possible. (Though I know I will eventually have to make those calls, and will, I just feel extra anxiety over doing so just to pester them with questions).
I found Select Mobility to have a rental ECV that does up to 400lb weight limit, up to 16 mi/charge, top speed 5.3 mph. They will deliver to a home/airbnb rental. Price was $45/day.
Does anyone know what Deckert's ECV stats are? General Prices? Is it comparable?
Has anyone dealt with both of these companies in the past, and have a preference? Does anyone know what either company's policy is on Theft, do they offer insurance or make you sign a waiver?
Is there a certain time you need to return ECVs? If I'm out late on Saturday night to catch the nighttime shows in the park, will I have to tack on an extra day to my rental to actually return it?
Side question, is there any rule in the park about whether your ECV should have 3 wheels or 4? I think I prefer the 3 wheels for maneuverability, but wanted to make sure there isn't a rule on which is allowed.
Thanks in advance!
