Wheelchair rental

Is it possible to rent a wheelchair from a company if you get on the ship in one port and get off in another. I am interested in beginning in Quebec and ending in Ft. Lauderdale. Thanks.

http://www.CareVacations.com is a Canadian based company. Therefore it's highly probable that it services Quebec. Don't know if http://www.SpecialNeedsatSea.com services Quebec . Both service Ft. Lauderdale.

 

Rental cost will be higher due to it not being a round trip cruise. Therefore you might want to consider renting one locally from a Durable Medical Equipment retailer to bring with you and take back on the plane. Also depending the rental cost it is possible that it may be more cost effective to consider buying one to bring with you.

 

Important : if cruising with NCL, SpecialNeedsatSea is the only approved rental vendor. NCL does not allow CareVacations .

I've done one-way rentals from Sydney to Seattle, and Hong Kong to Vancouver with Special Needs at Sea. So long as there is a suitable aid in the departure city, one-way rental can be done.

There is a one-way charge added to the standard rental fee.

Thanks all' Got a wheelchair reserved with Special Needs at Sea.

 

When I checked rates I found it was cheaper to buy my own chair than rent one. I got a a very nice heavy duty, collapsable, candy apple red chair that I found on Amazon. The brand of Chair is Drive. Check it out. Free delivery to your home and I got mine in a couple days......AND you'll have it for next time too. Airlines are very accomodating. No extra fees for it.
