Disneyland scooter rentals are a great way to access the park if you have mobility issues or someone in your family does. There's no reason limited mobility should prevent any guest from experiencing Disneyland to its full extent.
Renting a scooter at Disneyland is a great way to access the park and is a better option that using a wheelchair. The average guests walks up to nearly 6-8 miles during an entire day at Disney. Whether you use a mobility device in your daily life or only when you need to conquer those long distances, renting a scooter at Disney is worth every penny.
Keep reading for our full guide to Disneyland scooter rentals including the three most popular rental companies, tips on using a scooter, and information on the typical scooter brands.

Disneyland Scooter Rentals
There are a variety of Disneyland scooter rentals to choose from but I listed the top three companies in the Disneyland area with most of these locations right across the street from Disneyland. Each company offers a pretty similar scooter brand and the variations are mainly price.
Disney Scooter Rentals vs. Third-Party Companies
Scooterbug is the official affiliate of Disneyland scooter rentals while all the other companies are separate from Disney. The perks of using the affiliate company is that they are the only ones that will be allowed to bring your scooter rental into the Disneyland on-property hotels. Sometimes the price can be more affordable with Scooterbug but this all depends on which company you go with. Many guests prefer the convenience of scooter rental companies that will drop off and pick up the scooter at your hotel and if you are staying on-site at Disneyland, Scooterbug is the only option for this.
Scooterbug
Disneyland, via Scooterbug, offers day of rentals at the Disneyland park entrance for $60 a day for a scooter rental and $15 for a wheelchair. All rentals require a refundable deposit of $20. Scooterbug is the official partner affiliate of Disneyland so they tend to have the most well-known services.
Select Mobility Scooter Rental
D&R Mobility Scooter Rental
D&R Mobility Scooter Rental is another well-known rental company for Disneyland scooter rentals located right in front of the Grand Legacy hotel across the street from Disneyland.
The D&R Mobility Scooter Rental website is extremely comprehensive and provides a ton of details on the scooter brand plus their services. They also offer free delivery or pickup at select hotels (this may be limited to hotels in the close proximity) near Disneyland. They will drop the scooter off the night before or morning of the reservation time. They also have a perfect review history on Google! You can also upgrade to a scooter with more accessories (think phone charger, bigger seat, etc.) along with heavy duty scooters that can support guests up to 500lbs.
You can make a reservation for D&R Mobility Scooter Rental by calling (714) 883-8761 or you can book on their D&R Mobility Scooter Rental website. For a popular three wheel model, a one day rental is $50 and a seven day rental is $200. Any day past seven days is $200 plus $20 per day.
What kind of scooters can I rent at Disneyland?
Both Select Mobility and D&R Mobility use the Pride scooter brand which is pictured above. The basic model is called the Pride Victory and comes in a three and four wheel option. Here are some of the technical specifics of the Pride Victory Scooter:
- Lasts up to 13-15 miles per full battery charge
- Weight limit of 400 lbs.
- Seat rotation, sliders, and foam inserts for comfort
- Tiller adjustment knob to customize to body size
- Front basket
- High-intensity LED headlights for night
- Speed up to 5 miles per hour
As for a difference between a three wheel and four wheel, many guests prefer the three wheel as it makes tighter turns which is helpful for navigating the theme parks. The four wheel can feel slightly more stable though for folks, especially smaller sized people.
ScooterBug doesn't specify the models they use on their website just that they may vary by location. The scooter rentals for day use only at the Disneyland front entrance are a much lower quality than those you get for the duration of your stay. The day use scooters are hard to navigate, clunky, and many guests don't have favorable opinions of them. It's also more cost effective to rent for the duration of your stay. However, the scooters you rent directly from the company on Scooterbug's website the image identical to that of the Pride Victory scooter used by the other companies. It is not the same scooter you get at the front entrance of the park! This is why I recommend renting a scooter for the duration of your stay and not just getting one at the front entrance of the parks.
Do scooters sell out at Disney?
Yes, the day use scooters at the front of the park usually sell out! If you plan on renting one, I recommend arriving before park opening to rent one.
Disneyland Rides with Return Times for Scooter/Wheelchair Use
These are the attractions that usually require a return time or have specific instructions to access with a mobility device. If the line for the attraction is under 20 minutes, often cast members will allow you to access the ride right away instead of giving you a time to return.
