Title: Wheelchair Hire
Post by: spo6666 on April 21, 2015, 15:48:49 PM

We are due to fly in next Friday (1st May) and my mother in law has just had a fall and is thinking of cancelling her trip to Calis :(
I was wondering if there was anywhere around Calis,Fethiye area where I could rent a wheelchair?

Grateful of any replies , suggestions etc   :)

As you arrive on 1st May, sadly 3C's cannot help on this occassion, as there is a prior booking for their wheelchair at that time.

I may be wrong, but I thought 'Embrace' also had a wheelchair for hire.  I'm sure they used to.

There is a wheelchair hire place in Fethiye on the one way street with all the Banks.  It has a big sign outside. I think the sign says ACIL.   However, I know Jim Fraser knows the address etc.,  He is a member here, so may be along this evening.

It's Acil Medikal & is just by the pelican crossing on the back road

I have a wheelchair at my place which you are welcome to borrow. Let me know if you need it and I can make arrangements with my Management Company to go in  and get it for you.
