Yes, and we would encourage it. The showroom is at 12987 80 Ave and there are scooters on the floor to sit on. Ten minutes trying the seat, the tiller reach and the turning circle is worth more than any amount of reading, particularly if hands or shoulders are stiff.

Folding equipment, yes — a folding power chair, rollator or wheelchair goes straight in a car. A full-size four-wheel scooter does not fold and is too heavy to lift, so we deliver those. If collecting matters to you, say so and we will steer you toward what actually fits in your vehicle.

Further than most people expect for local errands, but Surrey is large and spread out — Guildford to Cloverdale is not a scooter trip. A hire works well for getting around one neighbourhood, a mall, a park or a community centre. If the plan involves crossing the city, talk to us first rather than assuming the range figure covers it.

Call us. Because our workshop is in Surrey, a flat tyre, a battery not holding charge or a seat that needs adjusting is a short drive rather than a scheduling exercise. That is the practical reason to hire locally rather than from an online rental service.

Yes. Monthly hire is common during a long recovery or while funding is being approved. If an extension takes the total past roughly six months, we will tell you plainly that buying has become the cheaper route.

MSP generally does not fund mobility equipment. Funding typically comes through Ministry programs (BCEA/PWD), extended health plans, ICBC or WorkSafeBC depending on your situation. Ministry funding usually requires a prescription and pre-approval before purchase. We can help with the documentation and quotes those applications require.
