Sending a scooter should not mean taking it apart
Most networks will either refuse a mobility scooter outright or ask you to crate it first. Porta moves it as it is. A driver already heading your way collects it from the address, straps it upright in the van, and delivers it to the door at the other end.
That matters more than it sounds. Every handover is a chance for a tiller to get knocked or a footplate to snap, and a scooter that has been through four depots has been lifted by people who have never moved one before.
Whether it is being sold on, sent ahead to a holiday address or moved to a relative, our mobility scooter delivery service works the same way: one price, one driver, and nothing in the middle.
What we move
From a folding manual chair to an 8mph road scooter, priced postcode to postcode.
Pavement and boot scooters
Some pavement and boot scooters fold or separate into smaller components. Check your model’s instructions and give the dimensions and weight of the complete scooter and any separate parts.
Road and 8mph scooters
Larger class 3 models may need more vehicle space and loading equipment. Folding and disassembly vary by model, so please provide its actual weight, dimensions and transport instructions.
Heavy-duty and all-terrain models
Please include the model’s weight, width and any access restrictions. Agree the equipment and handling plan with Porta before booking; heavy or awkward machines may require specialist arrangements.
Mobility aids and walking frames
Rollators, walking frames and folding aids. Light and compact, so distance rather than size drives the price, and often worth sending alongside a scooter that is already going.
Nationwide, seven days a week
Your scooter stays with the collecting driver through to delivery.
Why book it through Porta
The same network that moves furniture and white goods, sized for equipment people depend on.
Collected from the door, not a depot
A driver comes to the address, loads the scooter, and takes it to the other end. Nothing is handled by a chain of people along the way, which is where most damage happens.
Covered and tracked in transit
Standard and Premium bookings include goods-in-transit claim support through Porta using the independent driver’s cover, subject to the package terms, plus real-time SMS updates.
Loaded properly, not tipped on end
Please share your scooter’s model and weight before booking. The moving partner can then confirm suitable loading equipment, restraints and carrying help, following the manufacturer’s transport instructions.
A van already making the trip
Matching your item to a driver already heading that way is what keeps the price sensible on a long route, and it keeps empty miles off the road.
How to transport a mobility scooter
Four things worth doing before the driver arrives. None of them take long.
Check your model’s transport instructions
Please tell Porta the model, battery type and condition. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and agree any battery removal or isolation with the moving partner. A removed battery needs its terminals protected and must be secured for transport.
Know when to use freewheel, and when not to
Freewheel releases the motor brake, so the scooter can roll. Follow the model’s instructions for loading and the use of its brake or drive mode; do not assume freewheel is safe on a ramp. The moving partner must also secure the scooter for transport.
Fold or remove what comes off
Fold or remove parts only as the manufacturer recommends. Secure the seat, basket and other detachable parts so they cannot move or get lost. Please include all components in the collection details.
Photograph it before it goes
Two minutes with a phone, all four sides. If anything is marked in transit you have a before, and it makes any claim straightforward rather than a discussion.
How much does it cost?
Real prices, worked out on distance and size. The figure you see at quote is the figure you pay.
| Item | Local (~30 mi) | Long-haul (~200 mi) |
|---|---|---|
| Mobility Scooter | £99 | £235 |
| Mobility Aid | £56 | £90 |
Example Eco/Flexible prices for one item and one driver, with flexible collection days. Prices include applicable VAT. Distances are approximate and your exact price is worked out postcode to postcode and shown in full before you book. A two-person team is extra and scales with distance, so it is quoted with the job rather than as a flat fee.
Worth booking two people for anything over roughly 80kg, or where there are steps at either end. For the full breakdown of what drives the cost, including battery type, access and insurance cover, read the guide to mobility scooter transport.
Questions people ask
How much does it cost to transport a mobility scooter?
The quote depends on the route, scooter, access, handling and selected options, and is shown before booking. It covers the job as described. Please tell Porta about changes or any extra handling before collection so an updated price can be agreed if needed.
What is the cheapest way to send a mobility scooter?
Compare the collection dates and service options available for your scooter. Eco/Flexible may cost less if several collection days work for you. Give the actual model, dimensions, weight and access so the quote includes the vehicle and handling needed. Only remove the battery if the manufacturer’s instructions and agreed transport arrangements call for it.
How do I arrange collection and delivery?
Enter both postcodes, the scooter’s model, dimensions, weight, battery details and access. Choose the collection and service options, check the fixed price and complete checkout. Porta then confirms the booking with a vetted independent moving partner.
Do you cover the whole UK?
Porta supports UK scooter collections and deliveries, including Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, subject to the route, equipment and date. Please check island or ferry journeys and any specialist handling with Porta before booking.
Can the driver collect from inside the house?
Please describe the route from the scooter to the vehicle, including steps, door widths and floors, when requesting your quote. With one person booked, you must provide any assistance needed for safe loading. If you cannot help or the scooter needs extra handlers or equipment, agree the collection plan with Porta before booking.
Is my scooter insured while it is being moved?
Standard and Premium include goods-in-transit claim support through Porta using the independent driver’s insurance, subject to the package terms, limits and exclusions. Essential does not include damage cover or Porta claim facilitation. Check the chosen option and declare the scooter’s value before booking.
How quickly can it be collected?
It depends on a driver already heading that way, which is usually days rather than weeks. If it genuinely has to move today, book it as a same-day courier job instead, where the timing is guaranteed once a driver is confirmed.
Is there a weight limit?
The scooter must fit the vehicle’s usable space and payload, and be safe to load and secure with the agreed equipment. Please provide its actual weight and dimensions. This service does not cover equipment needing a lorry, tail lift or crane; ask Porta about any specialist lifting before booking.
