★★★★★ Karen B.

“Service was excellent. I really enjoyed using the ultra light weight mobility scooter. It gave me the chance to keep up with the younger generation, was easy to use and recharge and fit nicely into the London black cabs.”

★★★★★ Therese B.

“We booked with Chelsea’s rentals online and it went super smooth. We were able to pick up the stroller directly from them and it was super easy.”

★★★★★ Michelle C.

“My sister, my 81 year old mom and I spent one week in London in June. We rented a mobility scooter from Chelsea’s and it was the best decision we made for our trip.”

★★★★★ Laura R.

“I needed to rent a walker at my hotel because I couldn’t bring mine from home (I live in Italy). I am very satisfied with the service; they were fast, and communication was easy and immediate.”

★★★★★ Barbale M.

“Coming from a smaller city, we never imagined a service like this existed. After our airline blocked our wheelchair battery, we were worried about getting around London. Thankfully, we found this team!”

★★★★★ Emma D.

“I rented a powered wheelchair for 2 days, and the whole experience was excellent throughout. The booking was simple and had several options for collection/delivery and timings.”
