Please remember that personal belongings such as wheelchairs, ECVs, luggage, and strollers should never be left unattended in the corridors or hallways. Store your belongings insider your hotel room.

Renting EVCs from ScooterBug

Can you rent an EVC at Disney World?

Yes, Electric Conveyance Vehicles (ECV) rentals are available throughout Disney’s theme parks, water parks as well as Disney Springs.

Guests who use mobility devices (like ECVs) have a few options: bring your own, rent one at Disney World through ScooterBug—the Disney Featured Provider, or rent from another third-party provider in the area.

You can see our Best Stroller Rental Companies at Disney World article for several third-party options.

As for ScooterBug, this private mobility rental company is the “Disney Featured Provider,” meaning that they are an exclusive ECV and stroller vendor at Disney’s theme parks and Disney Springs. They also provide the Length of Stay rentals for those staying at one of Disney Resort hotels.

ScooterBug works directly with Disney Resort Cast Members to facilitate the delivery and return of ECVs and stroller rentals. This means guests don’t have to be present when the mobility equipment is delivered to their Disney Resort hotel. In fact, Scooterbug is the only company Disney allows to pick up/drop off their mobility devices without meeting the guest.

Guests can make their pre-orders and deliveries of ECV rentals by visiting by calling (800) 726-8284, visiting scooterbug.com/orlando, or via your Disney travel agent.

We recommend working with the Disney travel advisors at The Vacationeer. They can help you plan and book every aspect of your Disney trip, including your ECV reservations, at no additional charge to you.
