What is the cost to reserve a Scooter? The charge to reserve a scooter is $10. The $10 payment is
made when you book your reservation. The $10 is non-refundable and does not apply to the cost of
renting a scooter.

up your scooter.

Is my reservation held until I arrive? Yes, we hold the scooter. However, if you have not picked up
your scooter two hours after your scheduled pick-up time, we can no longer guarantee your reservation
and your scooter may be rented to someone else.

When do you stop taking reservations? Reservations must be made prior to 5pm the day before
you need the scooter.

What if I reserve a scooter but no longer need it? Please call to cancel your reservation. Failure
to notify us of your cancellation may result in you not being allowed to reserve with us in the future. The
$10 reservation fee is not refundable.

Can I change the date of my reservation? Yes, but we require that you notify us 24 hours in
advance of the reservation. Changes are based upon availability.

Do you hold back any stock for walk-up customers? Yes, the bulk of our inventory is available
for walk-up customers. Walk-ups are available first thing in the morning. All walk-up units are first-come,
first-served.

Do you give refunds if there is bad weather? Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds due to bad
weather.

What time do you open for business? We open at 9:00 a.m. each day.
What time do you close? We close at 9:00p.m. each day. The latest turn in time for any rented
equipment is 8:45pm.

and drive a scooter.

personal mobility aids at our locations while you have the rental. We also have cane holders in the basket
of the scooters.

Does the scooter stay charged all day? Yes, our scooters are fully charged and will generally last all
day on a single charge. In the event that your scooter should stop or use up its charge, we bring you a
new rental unit on the grounds. Our contact phone number is on the scooter for situations like this.

Can I leave the fairgrounds with the scooter? This is not permitted for liability and safety
reasons.

Can I keep the rental unit overnight if I rent for several days and I am in the
campgrounds by the fairgrounds? No, you must return and pick up the rental unit on a daily basis.
We charge you on a daily basis for the rental unit.

Does the Damage Insurance cover if the rental unit is stolen? No, you are responsible for
returning the scooter. We suggest that you do not leave the rental unit unattended in order to avoid this
possibility.

How do I lock a scooter if I need to get off for some reason? There is not a way to lock the
scooter but we suggest that you take the key out of the ignition when off the scooter and to not leave the
scooter unattended. Each scooter is identified by a 3-digit number on the unit.

Can I give my grandchild a ride on my lap on the scooter? No, scooters are designed for single
passenger operation, and you may not give rides on a rented unit.
