Electric wheelchairs hire in Cologne
I plan to visit Germany, Cologne particularly, from Moscow this fall. Unfortunately, I'm disabled, so I need to temporary hire an electric wheelchair. If anybody knows organizations, please help to find some. It would be nice to hire wheelchair and deliver it the hotel I will ride from the airport. Hire period is for one week, probably.
Best Answer
There is a bike rental at the Hauptbahnhof which offers rental of wheelchairs (although they don't specify, so I guess it's the non-electric ones), handbikes and electric scooters.
There are some details including pictures and prices for the electric scooters on the website of the city of Cologne. The price is 10 € for 3 hours or 20 € per day plus a deposit of 100 €. As they state on the website, this offer is also specifically aimed at disabled tourists and not only locals.
