The recent allears newsletter indicates that what seems to be a new ECV/wc rental company is setting up shop at the Boardwalk at the surrey bike rental desk. They rent for periods of 24 hours or more, and deliver to resorts at no extra charge. Rental prices are $30 plus tax for each 24-hour period for EVCs that accommodate up to 300 lbs. and $40/24 hours plus tax for EVCs that accommodate up to 500 lbs. (The website doesn't have any pricing, so that is per Deb, and I don't know how much wcs are). They will deliver to Port Canaveral for the Disney Cruise for an additional charge. The ECVs are from Pride. Contact info for reservations and questions is www.buenavistascooters.com or 407-938-0349.
I haven't heard of Buena Vista Scooters. I wonder if, given the name and the fact that WDW is promoting it on site, WDW is getting into the rental business. Anyway, I thought this was interesting. Does anyone know anything about this? My apologies if this was already discussed, but it was news to me and I didn't see anything over here. I personally have been happy with Walker, but assuming I don't hear anything bad about these folks, I'd do a price comparison and inquire specifically about the age and model of the ECVs at both places for my next trip, and go from there. I wonder how an increase in competition for WDW ECVs will impact things in terms of the quality of the available rentals, etc.
