I scheduled for a motorized scooter to…be delivered to my apartment in Rome . I called them the morning of to see when to expect delivery . Was told scooter didn’t work .. unacceptable

I scheduled for a motorized scooter to be delivered to my apartment in Rome seven days before my arrival communication with the company was nonexistent. the day of the delivery. They told me that they tested the scooter and it did not work and there would not be a delivery.. obviously this really threw a wrench into our plans. They offered no further assistance. in the future I would not be using this company and I advise you to do the same

Excellent service

Excellent service. Great communication throughout with Vemrent and the delivery driver. Chair delivered on time and we were also given a quick demo on how to use it.
We hired the folding electric chair which arrived fully charged and was in 'like new' condition. A great chair for Rome, used it all day every day and it still had an almost full charge at the end of each night. Easy to fold, fits in a taxi if necessary (and the small lift in our building), robust and stable especially on hills and rough pavements. Can't praise it enough, wouldn't have been able to do the holiday without it.
A big thanks to Vemrent for a smooth and easy service and to the wonderful people of Rome for being so courteous and helpful - even the drivers !

Would leave a 0 if possible

Would leave a 0 if possible. They took payment upfront (should have know that was a red glad but they were recommended by my travel agent) & our wheelchair did not show up! We called and left messages but no one called us back. We tried emailing and no response. I don’t even know if they exist. Do not use! They will take your money & not provide the service.

In response to your reply. You could have reached out to myself or my dad if you had issues. If we needed to pay for a certain amount of days, that is fine. We would have rather had a wheelchair for my mother than had nothing at all. You didn’t even give us the opportunity to make that decision. You left my mother with nothing! You basically bait and switched us. Please refund my father & I will remove this review. That is the appropriate, professional & right thing to do in this situation. I have emailed a B Alvino from your company twice about this & have yet to receive a response.

good morning,
in the check-out process we ask for the delivery infos and if we should deliver to a hotel, a private apartment or b&b guest house.
If the delivery is in a guest house (with no reception desk) we ask for the host's phone number because we need to agree with him the delivery and recollection time.

Your delivery was in a guest house and we informed you that the phone number you gave to us was wrong. We tried to deliver anyway but there was nobody at the address provided.

When you replied with two more numbers for contacting the host, they were not available for either delivery or pickup.
You reserved the wheelchair from Sunday to Wednesday and it's written clear while you make the reservation that it's you that must inform your host about the delivery. It's also written big and clear that we make deliveries and recollections from Monday to Friday.

it's highlighted in yellow!

here the link with our policies:

Thank you

Disgusting

I confirmed the scooter I had booked for my 85 year old father a few days in advance and noticed my Hôtel of the scooter delivery. Vemrent emailed to confirm everything was in order. When I landed I received an email from them saying they tried to deliver the scooter but the hotel had no reservation and because the hotel had stairs they couldn’t make the delivery and therefore considered the order cancelled. They offered no alternative and so far have not mentioned a refund. Considering they offer such a critical service that you only book when you really need physical support, their disgusting customer service is shocking. I am not from Rome. I live in London. Considering they are Rome based you think they would ensure they know the hotels and issues with delivery in advance and offer alternatives to a clearly needed support solution. When I asked for a wheelchair, they said they couldn’t provide that either. My Dad will spend his weekend in Rome in the hotel room. Thank you for ruining his first holiday since my mother died.

We are very sorry about what happened with your reservation but:
we tried to deliver the scooter today, and the name we had for its reservation was not the same you gave to the hotel.

You did not noticed the hotel about the delivery.

We should've delivered a scooter that weights almost 100kg in a place without an elevator with a very narrow stairs. It would have been impossible for you to carry the scooter upstairs.

The receptionist refused to accept the scooter precisely because there is not the slightest place to keep the scooter in the hotel.

As I've already told you by phone and via mail, we do not have any other scooter available for this weekend and anyway there wasn't no chance for you to get a scooter inside the hotel.

We always try to solve all the issues but in your case was actually impossible.

Of course we are in Rome, but you cannot think that because we are in Rome, we must know all the hotels in the city... and if you had notified the hotel, they would have told you that you could not take the scooter inside. That's why in our policies we ask the customer to inform the hotels/apartments about the delivery of the scooters.

A Shameful company

A Shameful company!

I found out about VEMRENT searching for an electric scooter in Rome for my aunt who has reduced mobility.

We wanted to hire the service for three days (tuesday 08/08 to thrusday) that she would be in Rome.

At the time of making the payment, the page froze and did not issue an order confirmation, so I assumed that the reservation had not been made and since the costs are very high, €100 for three days, plus a retaining deposit of €142 we decided not to try again.

To my surprise, on tuesday 08/08 an employee contacted me telling me that they had come to the hotel to deliver the scooter but we were not there so they had to leave. I tell him that there must have been an error because the order had not been confirmed on the website and therefore I was not waiting for the scooter. This person does not reply back nor contact me again.

Three days later I contact these people because I was charged €242 in my bank, and they tell me that they will not refund any money because due to company policies I had to cancel 24 hours in advance... So, I had to cancel in advance an order that I did not know about in first place, plus WITHOUT PROVIDING THE SERVICE they had retained €142 deposit, which I had to request to get back.

it’s a shame these people have a company towards the public with such mafia management. They stole me 102€ and I highly request people not to hire any service with them, they just want your money, either giving you a service or not.

Dear Nilda,

to our regret we have read his reviews of him, in which he compares us to "mobsters". This surprises us somewhat, since none of us here behave or have ever behaved like one, our policy is simply to serve the customer in the best possible way.
To demonstrate our good faith, we have sent you her booking confirmation email (email that she simultaneously received when ordering), made and PAID for on 6 August, for the rental of a mobility scooter. Therefore, as you can see (your bank will be able to confirm), it is not we who have "stolen" your money, but it was you who paid for a service requested on our online portal. We, by the way, could never "withdraw" any money from her bank account. If you don't know how certain things work, your bank can explain it to you. Your reservation was paid at the same time as the reservation request, via a credit card. If payment had not been made, we would not have been able to serve you.
Regarding our service, the mobility scooter (which you ordered and paid for) was delivered to the address and on the day indicated in your reservation. Since that is not a hotel as you specified, but private apartments, we were unable to deliver the scooter as the staff on site did not allow us to. We immediately tried several times to contact her on the phone to schedule another delivery on the same day, but she informed us that she hadn't booked anything and that she didn't want any scooter. This, ma'am, makes us think that you have made a lot of confusion.
It is not possible to proceed with the refund as the contract you accepted at the time of booking does not allow it. You can read the details at this link:

https://www.vemrent.com/en/terms-and-conditions/

Reservations are refundable if canceled before 24 working hours prior to the requested delivery date. She canceled her reservation AFTER we tried to deliver. Reading the conditions is mandatory, because it allows us to serve you better and avoid misunderstandings.

We therefore hope that you will seriously review your opinion of us, probably the result of a great misunderstanding of yours.

Best regards

Vemrent's Wheelchair Rental: Convenient and Professeional

When we arrived at our hotel in Rome, the representative from Vemrent had just delivered our wheelchair. He explained how to use it. We could not have explored Rome without it! We left the chair with the concierge at the hotel and Vemrent came to pick it up after we had left. Very convenient. Prior to our rental, we emailed them with our questions. They responded efficiently. We highly recommend Vemrent.

Don't rent if you plan to use it outside of Rome

We have rented a mobility scooter for a week. Communication with the company was great, and we were looking forward to pick up the mobility scooter and use it during our vacation in Italy. We were supposed to use it on our first day of vacation in Rome, and then during the rest of the week outside of Rome. Since our flight was delayed, we arrived to Rome a day late, so besides checking that the scooter was working from the hotel storage room to the car, we didn't use it before leaving Rome. The day after our arrival, we took the scooter with us to the daily trip we have planned, just to find out it wasn't charged.... so we couldn't use it (in the past when we rented a mobility scooter it came fully charged, so we didn't think we needed to check it, but this was our mistake and I'm not blaming them for this). So for the day after, we made sure the scooter will be fully charged, and after turning it on it took like 10-15 minutes till it finally started to move. We used it for around 3 hours while we were traveling, and it was great. Then in the afternoon when we went to our second location of our daily trip, and tried to operate it again, it wouldn't start at all, not even after 10-15 minutes of waiting like we waited in the morning. We called their support, and did everything they told us to do- we made sure if was fully opened and locked, and that the small wheels are in the air and not touching the ground, we made sure the brake handle was released, and still a green light was blinking and the scooter wouldn't move. Eventually their support told us, they couldn't do anything beyond that, since we weren't in Rome (their technical support is limited to Rome), and that once we get back to Rome, they'll be able to help us, which was useless to us since we got back to Rome only on our last day of vacation.
we ended up paying over 200 euros (since we paid also for delivery and insurance of the scooter), for a 3 hours use of the mobility scooter. Our vacation was ruined, since we had to change our plans, because I wasn't mobile as we had planned.
Their answer after they picked up the scooter from the hotel, was that a technician checked it and it was working fine, and that it didn't work for us because we didn't release the brake handle. Of course we did!!! We have tried EVERYTHING!!! Maybe at the end we just left it with the handle not released after we have folded it, since we couldn't use it anyway.
They didn't take any responsibility, they didn't offer to compensate us, NOTHING!
So if you are planning to be just in Rome - you can rent from them, but if you are planning to be outside of the city as well, and use a mobility scooter, please keep in mind, that in case something will not work, your money will be wasted because they don't have any sort of technical support beyond the city of Rome, and they take zero responsibility for technical failures in their equipment

It would have been nice to know that…

It would have been nice to know that thete were no Saturday deliveries. We were informed on Friday that our scooter would not be delivered and our order was cancelled. We did not have a scooter for Sunday or Monday and most of Tuesday as scooter was delivered after we had left for the day.
