SK Rent-a-Car Offers Free Rental of 'Sujeondong Wheelchairs' to Customers at Jeju Branch
Prepared Through Collaboration with Todoworks
[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] SK Rent-a-Car announced on the 1st that it will pilot the ‘Manual Wheelchair Free Rental Service’ to support safe and convenient travel for mobility-impaired customers using its Jeju branch.
SK Rent-a-Car explained that as a mobility company providing customers with new and convenient travel experiences, it introduced this service to contribute to creating a culture that considers mobility-impaired individuals and to fulfill its social responsibility.
This service is available to any customer experiencing mobility difficulties who uses the short-term rental car service at the Jeju branch. Customers can rent a manual wheelchair free of charge by calling the customer center in advance to inquire about the rental or by requesting it at the branch’s information desk on the day of the rental.
The manual wheelchairs introduced at the Jeju branch were prepared through collaboration with TodoWorks, a social venture company developing mobility assistance devices. By providing wheelchairs equipped with TodoWorks’ ‘Todo Drive,’ the world’s smallest and lightest manual wheelchair power assist device weighing around 5kg, users will be offered an easier and more convenient mobility experience.
In addition, SK Rent-a-Car will carry out meaningful activities to create social value. For about two months until October, one family with a mobility-impaired child will be invited each week to receive not only the manual wheelchair rental but also free airport pickup and rental car services, creating special memories.
