At Forbes Rentals, we make it simple to stay mobile and independent. Whether you're navigating your local area, heading away for the weekend, or need help with everyday travel, we have the perfect mobility scooter to rent.
Our flexible rental plans include nationwide delivery, full maintenance support, and third-party liability insurance as standard. With no large upfront costs, you can enjoy complete peace of mind with a mobility solution that suits your lifestyle.
Types of Mobility Scooters Available to Rent
We offer a wide range of Shoprider and Roma mobility scooters, suitable for different levels of mobility, terrain, and daily usage.
Road Mobility Scooters (Class 3)
Road scooters are built for longer journeys and outdoor travel. They’re ideal for users in rural areas or anyone who frequently travels beyond pavements. These models feature enhanced suspension, greater battery capacity, and higher top speeds (up to 8mph), making them perfect for more demanding environments.
Pavement Mobility Scooters
Designed for everyday use, pavement scooters are easy to operate, reliable, and safe at up to 4mph. Ideal for shopping, appointments, or visiting friends, these scooters are perfect for getting around towns and local neighbourhoods.
Portable Travel Scooters
These lightweight, foldable scooters are easy to dismantle and transport in the boot of a car. Ideal for holidays, short trips, or those with limited storage space at home, our travel scooters offer freedom without the hassle.
New scooters are available on a 12-month rental term.
Pre-loved scooters are available on a 9-month plan, offering the same high-quality performance at a lower monthly cost.
Every refurbished rental scooter undergoes detailed inspection, testing, and deep cleaning before being re-rented.
Free Suitability Assessments for Comfort and Safety
We take your mobility seriously. That’s why we offer personalised suitability assessments before any scooter is delivered.
This includes:
Checking your ability to operate the scooter safely and confidently
Adjusting seat height, armrests, and tiller position for a comfortable fit
Matching the scooter to your environment and usage patterns
Providing guidance on battery charging, storage, and safe travel
This process ensures that the scooter you receive is the right fit—physically and functionally – for your lifestyle.
