Need to hire a mobility scooter in Edinburgh? Mobility Hire delivers scooters right across Edinburgh and the Lothians, from Leith, Musselburgh and Dalkeith to the city centre. Folding and boot scooters are usually sent next working day by independent courier; larger scooters and any item needing set-up are delivered by our own engineers, and an engineer delivery can be requested on other models too. Whether you’re recovering, supporting a family member or staying for an extended period, hire keeps you independent without the cost of buying. Our minimum hire is two weeks.
Delivery & set-up in Edinburgh
We deliver throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians, covering postcodes EH1–EH17 plus nearby Leith, Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Penicuik and Bonnyrigg. Equipment can go to your home, a care or residential home, a hotel or holiday let — or arrive to coincide with a hospital discharge from Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and Western General Hospital. How it arrives depends on the item: most wheelchairs and folding scooters are sent by independent courier in a custom box (please keep the box for collection), while items that need correct sizing or set-up are delivered, assembled and demonstrated by our own engineers. You can see the method on each product’s Delivery tab, or request an engineer delivery. At the end of hire we arrange collection — the hire concludes two working days after you give notice.
