Gold Mobility Rental

[Friendly Frog]

Robinb-
I have not rented from this company before but I have rented the victory model, and I have used a go go. Unless you are pretty small and light I think the Victory is more comfortable. I consider the Go-Go like a mini, the Victory as a regular, and the Disney park as the large. The Victory turns much better then those rented in the parks. The Go-Go turns in an even a smaller area and will be even easier to maneuver on the bus.

The 3 wheel Victory turns better than the 4 wheel one and that sounds like it would be a better choice for you if you decide on a Victory. The 4 wheel model is a little more stable. One thing I like about the 4 wheel Victory is that if you have long legs that you like to stretch out when stopped, I find the 4 wheel fender design allows you to do this more comfortably. I would definitely pick the 4 wheel one for anyone over 200 lbs or who is tall.

As far as the canopy, I have not used theirs, but the one I rented elsewhere, and my own shade on my scooter are both much the same. I would say that it is a love / hate relationship. I think the canopy helps some with the sun, however the trade off is not great. I find it much more difficult to maneuver on the buses using the shade. You can not look up and see the face of the person next to you and this makes conversations more difficult and make you feel isolated. Also, be very careful if you drive into a shop. The canopy height is just at the point that if you turn a corner too close to a shelf, you and the scooter will go by fine, but the canopy can catch ( and clear!) the edge of the shelf along with the item on it! ( I came very close but my hubby caught me in time.) It also makes pushing or driving it out of the room a little more difficult if you do it alone. Keep in mind also that the sun is not always directly overhead and a lot is stil reflected back to you even with using the shade, so don’t expect complete shade. FYI- I use my shade canopy on my scooter in cooler months to help keep me a little more dry in a sudden rain.

One thing is that if you think you want to try the shade, they tell me it is easy to take off and just leave in your room the next day if you did not like it. I love the idea of a charger and a cup holder, and I think the fan would be helpful in warmer weather. Hope his helps.

I just called Gold about renting a scooter and they said they can actually drop it off at the Dolphin (and I guess the Swan too) with the Bell services. I didn't know that so FYI. He said I had to go online to make the reservation since they don't see me to fill out the paperwork and so on.

As for the shade canopy - I thought I saw people who have the Gold one and it was more like an unopened umbrella when it is closed - and like an umbrella open - for lack of a better description or photo. It wasn't the boxy kind that encloses people - and it seemed way less intrusive. I don't know how much it sticks off the back though.

Gold Mobility's sun canopy is not boxy but rather, think of it as a "roof" with a slight angle (pitch) on top to prevent rain from sitting on it. It doesn't stick out more than about two inches. If you get it as your free accessory, it is easy to remove.

Dolphin is not a Disney hotel. So there scooter policy is different then WDW policy

We like the Gold Mobility's canopy also. We can see all the way around, and its easier to back up with it than the boxed-in type ones we've used in the past.

Oh, I was just going by the grapic on their page, which looked like a big square canopy. I wish there was an actual photo of one. Interesting.

this photo is from their Facebook page. Their a Facebook page has several photos if you look thru all their photo. Some have a little differently shaped frame, but in genera, it’s one post with a frame above.
you could suggest that a picture would be helpful on their website.

 

[ChloeHoward]

I emailed them to let them know that people are asking about a canopy picture. They responded and said they would be adding a picture soon.

I saw this Gold Mobility photo with Google.

Their mobility scooter canopy looks very similar to a TopMobility Scooter Store below.

I have bought other products from TopMobility and from Challenger Products when I used my mobility scooter and now that I use my Fold and Go Heavy-Duty Wheelchair.

I would imagine that Gold Mobility bought directly from the maker of Challenger Products in very large quantities.

I think that everything Gold Mobility offers is top-notch even though I don't have to rent from them.

But if I did...I would.

I've been coming up to Disney World and renting the park ECV for $350 a week. Last trip I starting asking people if they where happy with the company they used. The people renting the Gold Mobility ECV's were hands down the most pleased. What a difference using Gold Mobility. It was less than half the price and the ECV, was night and day better, and much easier to drive....faster too! I'll never rent an in park ECV ever again. I'll be back in December and made my reservation.

And it would seem that starting in the middle of next year, Gold is gonna start offering AIRPORT PICKUP/DROPOFF that INCLUDES A GROCERY STORE STOP!

I don’t know what transportation company they’re gonna use or what grocery store they’ll stop at, but I do know that they will be using a company whose vehicles can accommodate 2 mobility devices (If you and someone else in your party is renting more than 1 scooter, if you’re renting a scooter and somebody you’re traveling with is bringing their own personal mobility device, etc.).

EDIT: They just informed me that they’re gonna be located near the baggage claim area. Thanks for the late Facebook response, Gold.

I drive up, but I can see where that would be great for people flying in.

Has anyone used the Maxima scooter from Gold? What did you think of it?

Thank you! That is exactly what I was wondering.

Just back from another magical adventure at DW. Once again Gold Mobility was at the top of their game. We both received brand new scooters once again. One Maxima and one Victory 10. Steven our delivery person was standing just outside the magical express waiting for us as we arrived. Another totally seamless trip from delivery to pickup. The communication was excellent. We really pushed the batteries to the limit this time. It was 12 hours when we returned to the hotel two separate night we still had plenty of power left. The attention to detail on the rental scooters with all the extra free options and the level of service we receive is way beyond normal expectations. We wouldn't use any other company!

I was quite intrigued when I saw that. We typically arrive late and get the ECV the next morning. But definitely interested in this. We usually do Magical Express and then use Instacart, but if I could get the scooter in the airport and then do a grocery delivery with it ---- very intriguing idea!

Just another thumbs up review for GMS. We were there last week at the Dolphin resort and rented from Gold and all went well - they can drop off at the Dolphin with the bell service. My scooter seemed brand new and the charge lasted all day - over 12 hours some days. I had someone renting from another company stop and take a pic of the headrest that had the phone number on it. They were very impressed with the features including a nicer seat and newer scooter - plus I paid less than they did by about $30. I'm seeing more and more GMS scooters in the parks!

I was also stopped constantly during my trip with people taking pictures of the headrest, and asking about my rental. The Gold mobility scooters are so much nicer than all the other rentals.
