Can you recommend a place to rent a a wheelchair in Amsterdam? We’re planning a trip over there with my son, and I’m afraid of his custom wheelchair getting lost or damaged by the airline.

Your best shot would be to take your son’s own wheelchair with him, as it’s fitted specifically to him and he’d have less chance of a skin breakdown. That said, I understand your fear of airline damage. The best resource for mobility equipment rental in Amsterdam is  AmsterdaMobile (https://www.amsterdamobile.com/en/). Besides scooters and wheelchairs, they can also arrange for rentals of shower chairs, hospital beds and hoists. Reservations must be made at least seven days in advance — although earlier is always better — and hotel delivery is available. Just fill out the form on their website and they will get back to you with a quote. And if you do go the rental route, I’d also bring along your son’s wheelchair cushion, as not only he be more comfortable, but he’ll also be healthier in the long run. Have a great trip.
