This policy ensures mobility scooters remain well-maintained and available for customers throughout New Zealand who rely on them for daily independence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the mobility scooter security deposit higher than other rental items?
Mobility scooters are complex, motorised pieces of equipment with a higher purchase and maintenance cost than most other rental items. The $150 deposit reflects this value and helps ensure the scooter is returned in fully operational condition.
Under what circumstances is the $150 deposit charged?
The deposit is only charged if the mobility scooter is not returned, is returned in a damaged state, or is returned after the end of the agreed rental period. Renters who return the scooter on time and undamaged will not pay the deposit.
Does the mobility scooter security deposit apply to rentals across New Zealand?
Yes, the $150 security deposit applies to all mobility scooter rentals through MoveSmart regardless of the delivery location within New Zealand. It is a standard rental condition to protect the equipment and maintain availability for all customers.
