Frequently Asked Questions: Wheelchair Rentals
What is the difference between a wheelchair and a transport chair?
A standard wheelchair has large rear wheels allowing the user to push themselves independently or have a caregiver push. A transport chair has four small wheels, meaning a caregiver must push the chair. Transport chairs are noticeably lighter (often 19-23 lbs vs 35+ lbs) and more compact for vehicle trunks.
Can I pick up the rental wheelchair today at your Courtice location?
Yes! We keep rental units in stock at our storefront (1423 King St E, Unit 5, Courtice). You can walk in during business hours or call ahead to have a sanitized unit set aside for immediate pickup.
Do you rent elevating leg rests for casted or post-op legs?
Yes. If your recovery requires keeping one or both legs straight or elevated, we can equip your rental wheelchair with articulating elevating leg rests.
