Our service is for people with temporary or permanent impaired mobility. We provide wheel chairs and electric scooters to shop around Ashton Town Centre. We also have 2 small scooters for holiday hires and will hire wheel chairs for short periods for home use, but those requiring long term use should price out 2nd hand out of the local papers (can be purchased for around £80) before hiring. Any advice can be given freely from our staff but it is only advice and purchases from dealers are at your own discretion.

Shopmobility A.U.L. charges a small fee of £3.00/use to help keep this service in place until funding can be found to fully support the project.

We do not at this time have a membership but in November 2006 we are introducing memberships.

At the same time we will change our pricing policy.
Membership fees will be £5.00/Qtr with a £3.00/ use fee.
We will also introduce a weekly ticket for £10.00, which will enable members to use the equipment in that week without further charge.
Please ensure that you book at least 4 bookings to ensure you get full value of such a ticket.

Non members will be charged £5.00/use.

24 hour pre-booking is recommended as equipment is limited.
People turning up without phoning, do so at their own risk of no scooters being available for use.

Hiring a Scooter is Simple
You Require Two Forms of I.D.
1) Official, preferably with Driving Licence etc.
2) A Fuel bill of some description, Electricity, Gas, Telephone etc.
