It was announced in the Phoenix last year that wheel chair and golf carts were available for rental for the convention. There was a bit of misunderstanding but we didn't want to leave anyone out so we have found the company below to help us with rental of scooters and wheelchairs. If you have any questions please call or email them or call Garry and I and we will be glad to help you. Please call 812-435-8678 and speak to Garry. If he is not there please leave a message.

Rental Guidelines
Your electric scooter is a state-of-the-art device designed to increase your mobility and enhance your travel experience. Please be aware that the correct care and operation of the scooter is your responsibility. If you are unsure how to operate the scooter, please ask your Scootaround representative for assistance prior to operating the vehicle. If you are unfamiliar with operating the scooter in crowded areas such as a convention or a tradeshow, please take some added time to practice the safe operation of the vehicle. Here are some further points to consider:
Always use added caution when driving in a crowded area.
Equipment must not be used in wet or muddy areas.
Equipment must not be driven on sharp inclines or declines.
Scooter and Powerchair users must be 18 years or age or older.
Operation of the equipment by persons other than the assigned renter is prohibited.
