Can I bring an electric scooter inside a hotel?

Are you planning to travel and explore a new city on your electric scooter? If so, you might be wondering if you can bring it with you inside the hotel you’ll be staying at. The answer is not as straightforward as you might think, as it can vary depending on the hotel’s policy and the city’s regulations.

The convenience of an electric scooter can’t be overlooked, especially when navigating busy city streets or tourist spots. However, there are some pain points you may face when it comes to storing it in a hotel room, such as the fear of theft, lack of storage space, or damage to the room’s floors and walls.

But fear not! I have done the research and gathered all the information you need to make sure you can bring your electric scooter into your hotel room safely and without any hassle.

Because there are many topics such as the hotel’s policy regarding electric scooters, the city’s regulations on transportation devices, and the best practices for storing your scooter in your room without causing any damage. 

The typical response to whether you can bring an electric scooter inside a hotel:

I have done a lot of calls to various hotel chains to ask about their policy on electric scooters and whether you can bring them with you.

The answer that was given by all of them was a variation of: “Yes, of course, you can bring an electric scooter inside our hotel. We are happy to let you take it with you to your room and charge it overnight.”

Almost all of them stated that electric scooters are treated like regular wheelchairs. When I asked their stance on the possibility of the scooter having dirty wheels, they said that the luggage most people bring with them has some form of dirty wheels, and as such, it is not frowned upon.

As always when in doubt or if you just want to be 100% sure, always call the hotel you are planning on staying in and ask them. It’s impossible to mention every hotel and every city here so use your common sense, and in doubt call them.
