Rentals
On commencement morning the KU campus can suddenly feel too big: the parking, the walk in, the standing, the walk back out. A scooter hands that whole day back to the person you're booking for, so they cover the distance at their own pace instead of deciding to stay home.
Why 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.
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.

Frequently asked
How much does it cost to rent a mobility scooter in Lawrence?
Daily rates start at $45 for a 3-wheel travel scooter, with weekly rates for longer rentals. Lawrence delivery starts at $75. See the pricing page for the full rate sheet.
Do you offer same-day mobility scooter delivery to Lawrence?
It depends on availability. Across the Kansas City metro we make every effort to fit in a same-day delivery; for Lawrence, call us and we'll tell you whether a same-day drop is open for your date.
Can I rent a mobility scooter for one day?
Every rental is a minimum of 2 calendar days, whether we deliver it or you pick it up from our Leavenworth location, so a one-day visit is normally booked as a 2-day rental. With delivery, we bring the equipment at the start of your rental and collect it at the end. Most customers rent for 3 to 7 days because that lines up with visit weekends or convention stays. Need a single-day rental? Contact us at (913) 775-1098 to see if an exception can be made; exceptions are case-by-case, not guaranteed, and cannot be booked online.
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 insurance cover mobility scooter rental?
Not through us. We're a hospitality rental service, booked like a hotel or rental car, and we don't bill insurance. Most visitors and 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.
