Cynthia Boal Janssens is a veteran travel and cruise writer who is particularly interested in small ship cruises. It is now easier for cruise passengers to book wheelchair and scooter rentals
Special Needs Group, Inc. recently introduced an easy, quick and safe online wheelchair and scooter rental booking service for cruise travelers who have special needs or are “slow walkers.” Located at www.specialneedsgroup.com, the user-friendly service provides travelers not only with quality equipment, but also peace of mind that they will enjoy the benefits of their cruise vacation without barriers or hassles.
The new online service offers a variety of wheelchairs and scooters which can accommodate travelers weighing up to 500 pounds. Once the traveler completes the online payment, it’s guaranteed that the equipment will be delivered directly to his/her cruise ship stateroom upon arrival.
Travelers can book equipment online 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Special Needs Group, Inc. offers everyday low rental rates on all of its equipment.
“Our goal is to help all travelers experience the many benefits of their cruise vacation,” said Andrew Garnett, founder and CEO of Special Needs Group. “Our new online booking service makes it simple for cruise travelers to ensure that they can enjoy their vacation to the fullest with the help of quality wheelchairs or scooters.”
Special Needs Group accommodates all of the major cruise linesincluding Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise Line, CelebrityCruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Cunard Cruise Line, Costa Cruise, Crystal Cruises, Regent Seven Seas, Azamara ClubCruises, Oceania Cruises and more.
Special Needs Group plans to expand the online booking service to the full range of specialty equipment. Until then, travelers can request quotes online for all specialty equipment and place orders by calling 1-800-513-4515. Travelers can also rent equipment for delivery to hotels, resorts, convention centers, theme parks, airports and other locations by calling the toll-free number or 954-585-0575.
We have found a company in South Florida called Family Rentals and Guest Services. They offer a comprehensive list of equipment and take it a step further. They arrange to meet you at the terminal when you arrive and put the scooter directly in your hands to make that long trek up the gangway, then meet you upon disembarking to make it easier to get to street level.
