Bury St Edmunds shop mobility scheme is run by EcoCarriers Bury St Edmunds - a selection of scooters, manual or powered wheelchairs, can be hired. Booking is advised, call 01284 413441 or email hello@ecocarriersbse.co.uk.

How it works
Register for membership and discounted hire rates online here, or call us on 01284 413441. Book your scooter at least 24h in advance by telephone or email. We will need to see two forms of ID (one with a photo, eg passport, Blue Badge or driving licence) the first time you hire from us (and on each occasion if you’re a non-member).

Where
Collect your hire scooter from the Apex. Alternative collection points (eg the bus station, your home address in Bury) are available by prior arrangement – call us to discuss.

Prices
Annual membership of the scheme is £10, then it’s £2.50 per hire.
For non members it’s £5 per hire.
