If you’re disabled or have mobility issues, you may require use of a wheelchair. It can sometimes be a daunting task to haul your wheelchair around from place to place. Or maybe you’re traveling out of town by plane, bus or train and can’t take your wheelchair with you. There are facilities that specialize in wheelchair rental, allowing you independence when you can’t take your wheelchair with you.
The best place to start your search for wheelchair rentals is in the Yellow Pages directory for the city in which you want to rent the wheelchair. Try looking under categories such as Medical Equipment, Hospital Equipment or Wheelchairs. Then call the wheelchair rental companies to compare services and cost.
Keep in mind the purpose of the wheelchair, as there are different types. If you plan on limited use of a wheelchair, then a manual one may work fine. However, if you’re on vacation and plan to do some tourist activities or sightseeing, then you may want to look into all-terrain wheelchairs. All-terrain wheelchairs are available in power and manual models. They are lightweight and easy to disassemble. They are built from non-corrosive, stainless steel frames so they can be used in water. They also have adjustable seats, foot and armrests, and other options such as drink holders and umbrellas.
If you plan on vacation travel, keep in mind that some hotels or resorts offer wheelchair rentals to guests, so you’ll want to confirm. If your resort or hotel does not have wheelchairs available, note that some wheelchair rental facilities are located near vacation spots and resorts throughout the United States and will deliver electric or manual wheelchairs directly to you. Many companies deliver to popular tourist attractions such as Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Las Vegas and resorts and conventions in surrounding areas.
Depending on the type of wheelchair, rental costs $75-$100 per week, and $50 per week for every week thereafter. Some companies offer free pickup and delivery. The wheelchair should arrive to you clean and in good working order. If you’re not satisfied, ask the company for a replacement.
