Bookings
How can I hire from you?
If you want to hire from us, it is very simple, you must do it through our website, indicating the chosen destination, the mobility equipment you want and the dates. If you need help do not hesitate to contact us and we will help you as much as possible.
Do I have to formalise my rental in advance?
Yes, we advise you to make your booking online well in advance to ensure full availability of your equipment, especially during high season times of the year (summer and holiday periods).
Do you offer any hire duration?
At Motion4rent you can hire equipment for as little as 1 day and with no time limit, for as long as you need.
Can I hire equipment for someone other than myself?
Yes, of course, there is no problem because the final contract will be made at the chosen destination with the final collaborator, and it will be there where you must provide the data of the person who will use the equipment.
How can I make a booking?
Simply search for the equipment you need on our website, select dates and location, and complete the booking form to indicate either in-store pickup, delivery to a hotel, or a private apartment.
Can I hire equipment in one country and return it in another?
Depending on the provider and location, we offer the option of pickup and return at different points/possibly in a different country. If needed, we find the easiest solution tailored to the individual needs of each customer.
What documents do I need to hire equipment?
Typically, you only need a valid ID and a payment method. Some providers may request a medical prescription, but generally, they only require the details for billing and payment, which the company requests via card or cash.
Can I request a specific piece of equipment that is not listed on the website?
You can contact us to check availability or request special equipment via email or WhatsApp.
How do bookings work for events or trips?
You can book in advance to ensure availability during your trip or event and to be certain of the delivery and required model.
How can I ensure the equipment's availability for specific dates?
Book as early as possible to ensure availability, or contact our team directly for your dates and destination.
Can I reserve multiple pieces of equipment in one booking?
Yes, you can reserve multiple items in the same operation, but not directly on the website. Bookings must be made one by one on the website. For multiple bookings, please contact our customer service to ensure availability and the best price.
Can I reserve equipment for someone else?
Yes, of course. There is no issue since the final contract will be made with the destination provider, and you will need to provide the details of the person who will use the equipment there. We also ask for the user's details to facilitate the contract before their arrival.
How can I know if my booking has been confirmed?
You will receive an email with confirmation and details about the payment and technical specifications of your equipment.
Can I print the booking receipt?
Yes, you can download and print the receipt from your account on the platform.
How long in advance should I reserve?
We recommend at least 48 hours in advance, especially during peak seasons, as availability may be very limited depending on the destination and dates.
Are there age restrictions for hiring?
Yes, users generally need to be of legal age or have authorisation to proceed with payments and approvals, but there is no minimum age for the rental user.
Can I ask specific questions before making a booking?
Certainly, our customer service team is available to resolve your doubts if you can't find the answers on the website.
Can I hire equipment for someone else?
Yes, of course. There is no issue since the final contract will be made with the destination provider, and you will need to provide the details of the person who will use the equipment there. We also ask for the user's details to facilitate the contract before their arrival.
Delivery & pickup
Where do I pick up and drop off equipment?
Motion4rent offers different options, depending on where you hire the equipment. In our search engine you can filter by delivery point: store, private homes, hotels, fairgrounds, stations, ports or airports.
They have tried unsuccessfully to deliver the equipment to my home address, what's wrong?
When you formalise the rental on our website you must set a day and time of delivery. If we cannot reach you at the time of delivery, we will try to deliver as soon as possible, but it is possible that the collaborator will charge you again for travel expenses (of course we will try to reach you by phone before we leave).
Should I inform the hotel that I will be hiring adapted mobility equipment?
Yes, it is best to communicate this. We also suggest that you ask for a room on the first floor or make sure that the hotel you have chosen has lifts, and if possible has a place where you can store and charge your equipment. Unfortunately, not all accommodation complexes are 100% accessible.
Do I need to be present to receive the equipment at the time of delivery?
Whether the delivery is to your home or a hotel, AirBnB, you or someone you trust must be present to receive the equipment unless the hotel allows early deliveries to store the equipment or the provider allows it as per their specific policy. In the case of hotels, always inform them in advance about the delivery so they can manage it properly. In some cities, it may be mandatory for the customer to be present to receive the equipment, as it is the best option to verify the equipment's condition and leave the necessary deposit. If you cannot be present, it is your responsibility to inform the hotel or reception in advance to receive the equipment on your behalf, and even make the payment if necessary.
Does the equipment fit in the boot of a car?
Some of the equipment will fit, but not all... For example, there are some transportable scooters that can be disassembled and loaded into the boot of a medium to large car (the heaviest piece can weigh up to 25 - 30 kg).
Standard scooters and powerchairs are usually not detachable and are more suitable for transportation in a minivan or SUV.
If you are unsure, please email us at [email protected] and we will be happy to help you make a decision.

If you are unsure, please email us at [email protected] and we will be happy to help you make a decision.
Where will I store the scooter overnight?
Rain, condensation and heat can damage the equipment's electrical system, so it is best not to leave it outdoors. We advise you to protect it in a shed or indoors when not in use, ideally with a power source to charge it in the meantime.
How is the equipment delivered?
The equipment can either be picked up at the provider's store or delivered directly to the indicated address. In the case of hotel delivery, it can be delivered a day earlier and stored at the reception before your arrival.
What happens if I'm late to pick up the equipment?
It depends on the provider's policy, but we recommend informing them to avoid cancellations by the provider.
How do delivery and pickup rates work?
These vary depending on location and provider. Costs are specified at the time of booking. Sometimes, the delivery cost is included in the hire price, especially when the provider doesn't have a physical store, only a warehouse.
What is the process for picking up the equipment?
It depends on the provider; it may be at the store or delivered to your home/hotel/AirBnB.
What should I do if the equipment does not arrive on time?
Keep in mind that the equipment may take 1 to 2 hours depending on the situation. If it takes longer, contact the provider and our customer service if necessary.
How can I know if my equipment is suitable for my apartment?
Make sure the mobility equipment fits comfortably through doors, hallways, and rooms without any obstacles. Check if the size and type of flooring in your home are compatible with the equipment and ensure there is enough space to manoeuvre.

What forms of payment are accepted?

Is there a hire deposit? How is it returned?

During the booking process, the deposit amount will be clearly indicated in your voucher, as well as on the equipment's page.
