Mobility scooter hire with delivery

Older or less mobile visitors, people recovering from injury, families on days out, and event or attraction visitors.

Daily and weekly hire fees, plus a delivery and collection charge. Regular tie-ins with hotels, holiday parks and campsites can bring repeat bookings.

• Patient, friendly customer service
• Basic mechanical and battery care
• Organised with bookings and deliveries

• Check you have public liability and cover for the scooters themselves, including theft and damage
• Rules differ by scooter class; check where each class can be used and any registration or speed rules
• Always give a proper demonstration and keep records, as customers may be vulnerable
• Check van or trailer insurance covers carrying hire equipment
• Batteries need regular care and charging, so build in maintenance time

Startup costs are typically around £2,500 to £10,000, depending on how many scooters you buy, whether you need a van or trailer, and storage and insurance costs. Batteries and chargers also need budgeting.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around £600 to £3,000, depending on fleet size, hire lengths, location and demand from visitors and events. Revenue is not profit, as maintenance and delivery costs come out of it.

Check you have public liability and cover for the scooters themselves, including theft and damage. Check class rules on where each scooter can be used, van or trailer insurance, and give proper demonstrations with records, as customers may be vulnerable.
