Three reasons people in Lawrence rent a mobility scooter
1. KU graduation and other big-walk weekends
Commencement at KU involves long walks across campus. Family members who can normally manage a few blocks at a time can't do the full walk plus standing in line plus the ceremony plus finding the car afterward. A travel scooter makes the day work — they save energy for the parts that matter (the photos, the dinner). We typically deliver Friday afternoon and pick up Sunday or Monday.
2. Conferences and conventions in the Lawrence area
The Holidome, Maceli's, the Lawrence Public Library — Lawrence hosts academic conferences, reunions, and weddings where attendees with reduced mobility need to cover distance reliably. A 4-wheel standard scooter handles uneven sidewalks downtown and the slightly hilly campus paths.
3. Post-surgical recovery at home
Hip replacement, knee replacement, or extended cardiac recovery often leaves a patient mobile-but-tired for weeks after discharge from Lawrence Memorial Hospital. A mobility scooter bridges the gap — they can leave the house, get to a follow-up appointment, manage the grocery store. Most home-recovery rentals are 4 to 8 weeks, billed weekly or monthly.
What we have on the truck
Our Lawrence-route fleet draws from these models (all linked to spec pages with photos):
- Pride Go-Go Traveller 3-Wheel — lightest, disassembles for car loading.
- Pride Go-Go Traveller 4-Wheel — same portability, more stability on uneven ground.
- Pride Go-Go Sport 3-Wheel — longer range, faster speed.
- Pride Go-Go Sport 4-Wheel — the most-rented model. Stable, comfortable, decent range.
- Pride Go-Go LX with CTS Suspension — for longer distances or rougher pavement.
- Pride Victory 10 4-Wheel — heavy-duty, 400-lb capacity, longest range.
Delivery to Lawrence — the truth
We're 50 miles from Lawrence, in Leavenworth. The route runs daily, but capacity is finite. Same-day works when you call before 11 AM Central and the schedule has room. Most orders are next-day, which we never miss. We'll tell you both options on the phone — never lie about same-day availability to close the booking.
Delivery starts at $75. Pickup is included in that fee — we come back at the end of the rental, no extra charge.
What's not included (read this)
- No insurance billing. We don't bill Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance — we're direct-paid.
- No prescription required. You don't need a doctor's note.
- No medical advice. We don't tell you which equipment your condition needs — we explain what each model does, you (or your doctor) decide.
- No long contracts. Rent for one day, one week, one month — your choice.
Frequently asked
How much does it cost to rent a mobility scooter in Lawrence?
Daily rates start at $49 for a 3-wheel travel scooter, with weekly and monthly multi-day discounts. Lawrence delivery starts at $75. See the pricing page for the full rate sheet.
Do you offer same-day mobility scooter delivery to Lawrence?
Sometimes. If you call before 11 AM Central and the route has capacity, we can usually swing a same-day Lawrence drop. Most orders are next-day — that's what we promise. We'll tell you on the phone whether same-day is realistic for your specific date.
Can I rent a mobility scooter for one day?
Yes. Single-day rentals are available. Most customers rent for 3 to 7 days because that lines up with visit weekends or convention stays — but a one-day rental is fine.
Will the scooter fit in my car for KU events on campus?
The 3-wheel travel scooters disassemble into 4-5 pieces; the heaviest piece is 27 lbs. They fit in most car trunks. If you want us to deliver directly to a hotel near campus or a residence, we do that too — the delivery fee covers it either way.
Does Medicare cover mobility scooter rental?
No, not through us. We're a hospitality rental service and don't bill Medicare or insurance. Medicare-covered scooter rentals go through certified DME providers; we'll point you to one if that's what you need. Most visitors and post-surgical short-term renters pay direct because it's faster and there's no paperwork.
What weight capacity do your scooters support?
Range is 250 lbs (compact travel) up to 400 lbs (heavy-duty 4-wheel). Tell us the rider weight when you call and we match the right model. Going slightly under capacity matters for battery life and ride comfort.
