What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Holidaymakers arranging mobility scooters and hoists for trips within the UK and overseas account for much of the feedback about this Glasgow-based operation. Positive accounts frequently describe equipment turning up clean, charged and functioning properly, with collections taking place when promised. Customers value the guidance offered when selecting a suitable mobility aid, mentioning staff who demonstrate controls and answer questions before a hire starts.

The booking procedure is often called simple and efficient, and equipment is generally reported to be in sound condition on arrival. Balanced against this, recurring problems surface. Late or absent deliveries feature in several accounts, sometimes leaving people without the arranged item and unsure of its whereabouts. Faulty equipment, including scooters with steering or wheel defects, appears in more than one report.

Where faults were reported, responses are described as slow, with repairs that failed to solve the issue and replacements that did not materialise. Some reviewers mention charges applied for periods in which the equipment could not be used. Contact around such disagreements is described as difficult. The picture is of a service that performs well in routine hires but falters when faults or scheduling problems arise. Holiday mobility hire remains the main subject of discussion.

Horrible experience! We rented through Mobility Hire Direct in Glasgow. We were supposed to have a scooter delivered on our first day and we were never contacted about when it would arrive. After trying several phone numbers and email and even driving by the address of the location (no one was there), we ended up having to book a scooter through another company. When we FINALLY heard something back from them, they said that they could deliver any time during the day and would have it to us by 1:30. Our day had already been delayed and we asked to cancel. They would not do it, and they wouldn’t even allow us to only be charged for the one day rental saying even though they took the scooter back, we had to pay for the whole week. That is just awful customer service and we will never use this company again.

Not impressed. My mobility scooter was a day late being delivered (£21 lost) plus the inconvenience of not being able to get around on my first day. Then the left wheel was stuck. The engineer came out and tried to fix it but it didn’t help so I had to keep putting the nut back on every day.

We have used this company twice now and soon to be third time. Excellent service each time, the scooter is brought to you on time and also picked back up when that time comes. I would recommend them to anyone looking for mobility help on holiday.

I’ve used Mobility Equipment Hire Direct Ltd a few times now, and each time they’ve been fantastic. The process is straightforward, and the equipment is always in top condition. The customer service is second to none, and they really go above and beyond to make sure you have what you need.

Really happy with the service from Mobility Equipment Hire Direct Ltd. I was a bit unsure about which mobility aid to hire, but their team was very knowledgeable and guided me to the perfect choice. Everything was delivered on time and worked perfectly.
