Shopmobility
Shopmobility
provides manual and powered wheelchairs and scooters to
help anyone who is having difficulty getting around the
shops, attractions and businesses in the City Centre.
Shopmobility
is for anyone, aged 3 to 103, no matter whether their
mobility problem is temporary or permanent. The service
is available to residents and visitors in Exeter.
Shopmobility
is located in Paris Street, on the edge of the
Princesshay development, with easy access to the bus
station and the City Centre.
Free parking for Shopmobility Users is available on level
three of the Princesshay Car Park, accessed from Paris
Street (just after Exeter City Council's Civic Centre).
Taxi services can drop you right outside the door. Our
Ring & Ride bus stops outside our office and we can
bring a scooter out to the bus for you, by arrangement.
We can also try to arrange to bring a vehicle to Exeter
Bus Station or Central
Railway Station to meet you if you let us know your
arrival time.
Booking by phone will ensure that a suitable vehicle is
available, but we will always try to help if you just
call in.
At the Shopmobility centre you will be met by a
volunteer or member of staff who will complete a simple
registration form with you. On your first visit please
bring 2 forms of identification.
A charge of £4.75 is payable
for the loan of a wheelchair or scooter.
Long term hire of manual
wheelchairs and collapsible scooters is also available if
you are coming to stay in Exeter or want to take one away
with you elsewhere. The cost for manual wheelchairs is
£6 per day and
the boot scooters are available at £10
per day.
