Overton Hatfield II here, looking from some advice prior to my visit to Bath UK from my home in the Bronx, USA. I am 78 years old, with chronic fatigue and spinal damage which limits my walking to a block or so. 

I will be visiting Bath at the end of March, and hope to rent a wheelchair, manual or electric for two days, so that I can accompany my son on architectural walking tours.

Any sense of how I can find a short term chair rental or loan?

Thank you.

    Hello @OH2 and welcome :) thanks for reaching out with your query.

    You can enquire with Shopmobility about wheelchair hire in Bath.

    Just so you know, I've moved your post into our Aids, Adaptions and Equipment category, and edited the title, so that it's easier to find. I hope the journey to the UK goes smoothly, and that you enjoy exploring Bath with your son. It's a lovely city, steeped in history! :)

    If you're still unsure about anything or have new questions, then do say, and I'll do my best to help.
