For those wanting to try out a mobility product prior to purchasing it or hiring on a long-term basis, Wheelfreedom offers the opportunity to trial a scooter or electric wheelchair through our short-term hire scheme.
Try Before You Buy
Why try mobility products before committing?
The opportunity to try mobility products before committing to buying it offers you peace of mind by ensuring that you have the most suitable product for your needs. Buying a mobility scooter or powerchair can be a daunting experience, especially if you haven’t done it before or are looking for an expensive high-end powered product.
Hiring before buying allows you to ensure that you are comfortable with the type of product, and that the performance is ideal for you. While our team can talk you through your requirements over the phone, there is nothing better than having the freedom to try an actual product in person - and crucially over a few weeks, to see how it performs in your daily life.
How Wheelfreedom's 'Try Before you Buy' offer works
The Try Before You Buy scheme is available for all categories of products we offer – boot scooters, pavement scooters and road scooters, indoor powerchairs and indoor/outdoor powerchairs, including high-end configurable ones, with at least one of our products from each category available to try.
We will deliver a product from our short-term hire fleet to your address, ensure that it is set up according to your needs, and demonstrate the product to you.
If you are looking to get a custom-built configurable powerchair, we can measure you up for this at the same time. As they can take several weeks to build, this can speed up the process of getting one.
While not every product that we offer is available to try this way, as we cannot keep over 100 different products and all their options in stock, our range is designed so that there is almost always an equivalent product that is available to try.
Our Try Before You Buy scheme is flexible, and should you wish to switch to another class or type of product during the hire period, we will be able to help. When purchasing, you can choose to buy any model of wheelchair or scooter that we offer, giving you a range of affordable and quality options. Alternatively, should you wish to take ownership of the hire wheelchair or scooter, we can potentially also offer discounted rates on this.
