wheelchair/ecv rentals downtown disney

Does anyone know if you can't rent wheelchairs or ECV in Downtown Disney?

The Guest Services at DTD (which is near Ghiardelli's) will rent wheelchairs but not ECVs. They are $10 per day, just as in the parks. If you show a receipt from a Park rental that day there will be no charge. If you have any of the $8.00 Length of Stay rental coupons that can be used.

However, since there are no gates they will run a credit card imprint which is returned to you when you return the wheelchair.

i don't know if this is correct information, but it is what it on the official Disney website Guidebook for Guests with Disabilities:
Downtown Disney® Marketplace and Pleasure Island

Price:

Wheelchairs: $10.00 per day + $250 credit card imprint deposit
ECVs: $35.00 per day + $5.00 deposit + $500 credit card imprint deposit

Rental Locations:

Marketplace: Guest Services (wheelchairs and ECVs)
Pleasure Island: DTV (wheelchairs only)
Westside: AMC Guest Services (wheelchairs only)

Someone had posted once that the number of ECVs is VERY limited; I think they posted that there are 5 or less available for rent.
The Passporter for Special Needs books says both can be rented at DD, wheelchairs only at Westside and nothing at PI.

I just called to Guest Services at DTD Marketplace and they only do wheelchairs now.

Thanks. Their website sometimes lags behind what is actually there.
Actually, if they only had a few ECVs, it probably was not a good idea to have them at all - the chance of them having one when someone needed one was not very high.
