Hi all, I am looking to buy a mobility scooter from the UK as they are cheaper there-unless anyone knows of a cheap one over here. So does anyone know of a reasonable carrier. It as to be reasonably priced otherwise it is not a viable exercise.
Gracias antemano.

Dont know where you are Barry, but using parcel carriers would be a nightmare cost wise. It will depend on how the scooter is packaged if you use a groupage carrier. I can use my contacts to get an accurate figure if you know how its packaged, but as a guestimate I'd say you may be looking in the region of at least £200 freight for a delivery, say to Barcelona if its cased. Dont forget they will have to collect and deliver on a tail lift vehicle. If its not cased then they may charge you on the loading meter of a trailer, as they wont be able to put anything on top of it

Hi Mitzyboy, I am in Denia, weight 84 pounds. Length 1 meter with47 cm, these scooters are meant to be transportable in a car boot. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Baz,
I've sent you a private message about a company who can help.

Mitzyboy

Not the kind I thought you meant then, but still fairly heavy to be lifted out of a boot

In that case you have a van carrier very close to you up in the hills by San Antonio, pm me if you want the details ..... I have used him.

Just the job for you Mitzy........... Transports you from bar to bar little cost. And you are always allowed to park near the stage when the bingos on, You will never miss a number again.

Try the local mobility shops, they may well have cheap second hand ones from the people going back to the UK
