Don’t Get Stuck in Kansas City: The Ultimate No-Surprises Guide to Renting a Mobility Scooter

(Featuring 100% Transparent Answers from KC Mobility Scooter Rentals)

Renting a mobility scooter shouldn’t feel like Russian roulette. We took the 26 hardest questions the internet always asks and put them straight to KC Mobility Scooter Rentals — a local, family-run Kansas City company. Here are their exact answers so you know precisely what to expect.

Booking & Availability

Q: Can I reserve the exact model I want, and is my reservation guaranteed? KC Mobility: Yes. During our required phone consultation, we tell you the exact Pride model you’ll get. If something forces a last-minute swap, we call you immediately and you decide whether to accept it or cancel with a full refund. Once paid, your spot is locked in.

Q: What’s your cancellation policy? KC Mobility:

• More than 72 hours → only the small Stripe processing fee (usually $6-10)

• Less than 72 hours → $30 fee

• After the scooter is loaded or delivered → No Refunds

Q: When do you sell out? KC Mobility: Depends on Chiefs games, Royals home stands, and big conventions. Book at least 2 weeks ahead during football season or major events — earlier is safer.

Pricing & Hidden Fees

Q: What’s the real total cost including everything? KC Mobility: No surprises. Use our instant quote tool at kcmobilityscooters.com/quote — it includes tax, delivery anywhere in the KC metro, pickup, and optional damage waiver.

Q: Security deposit? KC Mobility: Only required for in-person warehouse pickups. Cash = returned on the spot. Card = we release it immediately (Stripe takes 7–10 business days to remove the hold). Delivery customers almost never pay one.

Q: Charged for normal wear and tear? KC Mobility: No. Minor scuffs and everyday wear are free. You’re only charged for major damage (broken plastic shroud, torn seat, missing fender, broken armrests).

Scooter Specs & Condition

Q: What exact models do you rent? KC Mobility: Only Pride Mobility products: Go-Go Traveller, Go-Go Sport, Go-Go LX, and Victory 10 (4-wheel only on the Victory).

Q: Weight capacity & scooter weight? KC Mobility: Full specs for every model are in our online catalog.

Q: 3-wheel or 4-wheel? KC Mobility: Everything except the Victory 10 is available in both 3-wheel (tighter turning) and 4-wheel (more stable). Victory 10 is 4-wheel only.

Q: Real-world battery range? KC Mobility: Lightweight Go-Go models: realistic 5–8 miles. Victory 10: up to 10 miles.

Q: How old are the scooters and batteries? KC Mobility: We don’t assign a specific unit until the day of delivery, but every scooter is fully inspected before it leaves. Most batteries are under 18 months old; we replace them before 24 months — long before problems show up.

Q: Can you send photos of the exact scooter I’ll get? KC Mobility: High-quality photos of every model are on our website. We can’t photograph the exact unit in advance (fleet rotation), but you’re guaranteed the model you booked or an equivalent.

Delivery, Pickup & Logistics

Q: Do you deliver to my hotel room? KC Mobility: We deliver to the front desk/bell services before you check in (for staff safety we don’t enter guest rooms).

Q: Delivery window and what if you’re late? KC Mobility: Usually 1–2 hour window. Hotel deliveries are almost always there before you arrive. If we’re ever running late (rare), we call or text updates.

Q: Pickup at the end? KC Mobility: Hotels: just leave it with the front desk at checkout. Residences/Airbnbs: we schedule a pickup time that works for you.

Q: Airport delivery/pickup? KC Mobility: Sorry, no — parking fees and flight delays make it unreliable. We’re happy to meet you at your home, hotel, or Airbnb instead.

Reliability & Support

Q: What if it breaks down or the battery dies? KC Mobility: Call us immediately. If it’s not user error (forgot to charge overnight), we bring a free replacement scooter or battery ASAP. If you forgot to plug it in, there’s a $35 service call fee.

Q: Emergency support hours? KC Mobility: 8 AM – 8 PM, 7 days a week for active rentals.

Q: Extra battery or phone charger included? KC Mobility: Phone charger no, extra battery available for an additional fee.

Safety & Insurance

Q: Damage waiver option? KC Mobility: Yes — covers minor damage (torn seats, broken armrests, etc.). Does NOT cover gross negligence (dropping the scooter off a curb, submerging it, etc.).

Q: Am I liable for theft? KC Mobility: Yes, full replacement cost if stolen. You must file a police report and cooperate with any investigation. We recommend never leaving it unattended outside.

Q: Rain-resistant? KC Mobility: Light rain is fine. Cover the tiller (handlebars) with a plastic bag and avoid deep puddles. Too much water = scooter shuts down until it dries.

Hygiene & Comfort

Q: How do you clean between rentals? KC Mobility: Antibacterial cleaners + steam cleaning on every return. We also use an ozone machine when needed.

Q: Seat cushion upgrades? : We don’t provide extra cushions for sanitary reasons. Feel free to bring or buy your own (many customers grab a $15–$20 gel cushion on Amazon).

Backup Plan if Something Goes Wrong

Q: What if you run out or can’t deliver because of weather, etc.? KC Mobility: Owner Jeff Guzman personally calls you with options: full refund, partial refund, future credit, or another solution. He has the final say, but he’s known for making it right.
