Both drivers acted surprised that I even had a scooter, which made me surprised that they didn’t know! When I initially called to make the reservations, I specifically asked if they accommodated scooters? They said yes, as long as it breaks down or folds down but it was my job to do it for liability reasons! Which was fine with me, it literally only takes a minute & it’s super easy!
