They may have some information on this site http://www.mobilityabroad.com/1.html

Hopefully one of our members who has hired a wheelchair there, will be able to help you soon.

Thanks so much you have been so helpful

On our recent visit there were a few people in CT staying in the Los Zocos who had the electric scooters. They had been hired in Lanza and were very neat and nippy. Try a look at the lanzarote gazette web site http://www.gazettelive.com as they might have some advertsfor hire companies.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately my Mum could not use a scooter. I could see her heading for the sea!!! A quiet sit in a wheelchair pushed by my husband is more suitable for Mum. I shall read the gazette classifieds as you suggested
Thanks again

Hi, We were in Lanzarote 2 weeks ago. I used http://www.mobilityaids-lanzarote.com they deliver to anywhere on the island free of charge. A manual wheelchair is 60euros for the week and you just pay 50 euros deposit when it is delivered which is returned when they collect it. Just send an email to sue@mobilityaids-lanzarote saying what time, date and place you want it delivered to. They are a British couple and I found them very helpful. I would definately use them again.

Sorry I didn`t answer all of your question. I found the taxi drivers very helpful. There is no problem sticking the folded chair in the boot. All the taxis we used were metered so there is no problem with prices.

Thanks so much for advice

Well, we took the wheelchair with us on the plane.All went very well until we went to take Mum out and about in Costa Teguise. This must rate as the most wheelchair unfriendly resort ever. The footpaths are in terrible shape for wheelchairs and parked cars are everywhere meaning it is impossible to push the chair down onto the road for crossing. The hotel was excellent VERY wheelchair friendly( Lanzarote Gardens) but poor Mum didn't get to see much of Costa Teguise as getting out and about was so difficult . The surface of the promenade which ran beside the sea was so rough that any wheelchair passenger was shaken so badly that it proved irresponsible to continue.
If anyone is wondering about access in Lanzarote I would suggest a different resort certainly not Costa Teguise for elderly people in wheelchairs

Oh dear, what a shame Delly I hope your Mum's holiday wasn't totally ruined.

I'd be grateful if you'd post a hotel review HERE when you have time. Many thanks

Oh Dear, Hope you were able to enjoy your holiday. Last year we stayed in Costa Teguise and went round the island in a hire car. In Playa Blanca we saw quite a few people in wheelchairs and electric scooters.

Yiamass, Jean

Yes we had a wonderful week. The weather was great which certainly helped, although we saw some children braving the sea, we just couldn't bring ourselves to try the waves!
However Mum was the only person in the day care centre with a tan!!! Thanks to the awful footpaths she got to bake on the balcony. One happy camper, so all was well in the end!

the council have actually just re done all the roads so the kerbs arent as high now,but agree about the prom,loads of people falling when we were there! me included! scraped knees and extreme loss of dignity and i was sober! need some attention but doesnt spoil the overall appeal to me.
