Hi, Is there anyone out there who knows if a mobility scooter will fit into a 12 seater minivan. We are going to Orlando in March and are needing to hire a mobility scooter for one of our party. We have been before and hired a 12 seater minivan, same as we are hiring this time but can't remember if any of the seats are able to come out if the scooter wont fit in.
Please can anyone help.!!!!
Thank you.
You didn't say how many people were in your party which might give us a better idea?
A scooter is likely to be pretty heavy as it has a battery/batteries (like car batteries) and I think the question you might be asking first is whether anyone can actually lift it into and out of the vehicle!
You can get rental cars which are designed with a ramp to take electric wheelchairs or scooters but this would need to be from a specialist supplier and they are not cheap to rent.

Sorry, there are 5 adults and one child in our party. we have had the bigger car for the luggage to and from the airport. I'm pretty sure we will be able to lift in and out of car. Just really need to know if it will fit.
Thanks
Not sure if the scooter will fit or not as obviously all scooters aren't the same.
Best thing is to check the manufacturers websites for the vehicles given as examples and see if you can find the info there I think - they should at least give you luggage dimensions at the very least.
Dodge RAM or similar (Dollar), GMC Rally or similar (Alamo).
