Hiring a wheelchair or mobility scooter

Hello,


Does anyone know how I can hire a wheelchair or even better, a mobility scooter? My brother is coming to stay for a couple of days in May. He uses a mobility scooter but it's a hassle to travel with - he can get around the airports with the wheelchairs that they provide but will need something for when he is here.


very grateful if anyone has ideas, many thanks.

Pharmacies rent crutches. If they can't help you with a wheelchair, I'm sure they give you informations about where to find one

I don’t know about mobility scooters, but I do know that any sizeable chemist/pharmacy will be able to rent out a wheelchair.  My own favourite chemist (Pharmacie du 31 décembre in Geneva) has supplied me with all sorts of equipment and gadgets over the years, almost always within 24 hours and always delivered to my front door (and subsequently taken away).


However, the pharmacy will need to have some details such as height and weight of the wheelchair user, etc., so best to ask your brother to send you all this info in advance.


Best wishes, R.

I would like to add that most medicalized things are reimbursed by insurance or by AVS. depond of the sitation of the person in Switzerland. The process is long but it's worth it.
