Financial/Payment Options
To assist customers who would like financial support to purchase a mobility scooter or other mobility device outright, Mobility Scooters for Hire Sale Service has prepared a list of companies who offer Finance Options.
Customers are able to obtain a “personal loan” from any financial institution, provided basic requisites are met.
The Loan may be “unsecured” – in that there is nothing to back up the loan, or the alternative is a “secured loan”.
For a secured loan, the security is most usually ownership of property, sometimes a motor vehicle, or other assets that the financial provider could claim to offset non-payment.
A secured loan has a substantially lower interest rate as the risk to the provide is much lower.
Certain listed Finance Institutions may also have interest-free loans but remember nothing is free in this world.
Customers will need to contact the Finance Institution to organise the loan.
A quote for the product may need to be obtained from Mobility Scooters for Hire Sale Service to assist in the application process – please make contact with the Company to obtain a quote.
