Getting around Sicily.

Sicily welcomes people with reduced mobility to explore its diverse towns and historic attractions. Wheelchair hire, mobility scooter hire, walkers and patient hoists can be booked across the island in over sixty locations, including Palermo, Catania, Messina, Syracuse, Taormina and many smaller towns. Visitors have found that professional, responsive staff provide reliable delivery and collection services, enabling people with reduced mobility to travel independently throughout their stay.

With mobility equipment hired locally and thoughtful route planning, people with reduced mobility can experience Sicily's distinctive character and attractions.

excellent service, it turned up on time, I had it delivered straight to my hotel reception and it was collected from there at the end of my stay. You pay a deposit when you order it, then pay the majority when they deliver the equipment. You need to pay this in cash. (I hadnt realised this when I booked, but maybe I didn't read it properly)

The only issue was to be able to obtain delivery in an AirBnB at Castellammare del Golfo rather than a hotel as the correct form did not come up. This was solved after a number of e.mails with your colleagues
