The purpose of a mobility scooter is to help you move around with ease and without pain. Whether you need a lot of mobility support, or simply want to move a bit quicker, a scooter is there to help. 

Improved movement will immediately benefit your daily life. Your independence will increase dramatically, as you'll not need to rely on others as much. You'll also have more freedom to move where you want, for as long as you want.

-    Car boot scooters
-    4/6mph scooters
-    8mph scooters
-    All-Terrain scooters

How easily you get around and how far you can go varies across the different types of mobility scooters for hire. Read on to discover where the most common mobility scooter models can take you. 

Where to Use Your Scooter

Car Boot Mobility Scooters

A car boot mobility scooter does exactly what it says on the tin. These scooters can either be collapsed down into one unit or dismantled into smaller parts. This makes them easy to store and transport via your car boot. 
 
A key benefit of a car boot scooter is its portability. This nifty scooter is designed to work around you and fit into the smallest of spaces. Pop it in the car, on public transport or even on the aeroplane. 

This scooter is just as effective for use around the home. Its compact frame and neat design allow it to easily manoeuvre tight, narrow spaces. 

The slimline design of a car boot scooter is ideal if you're tight on space. Store it in a cupboard or even down your hallway. 

A car boot scooter has smaller, lighter batteries compared to other mobility scooters. This design feature ensures car boot scooters stay compact and easy to transport. 

Smaller batteries do mean a shorter range. The short range of a car boot scooter reflects its intended use. Use your car boot scooter around the home or for short journeys, such as running local errands.
