Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before renting.
Yes. We meet you at terminal arrivals, the rental car center, or hotel shuttle stop at O'Hare International Airport (ORD) and Chicago Midway (MDW). Call (847) 696-6814 with your flight number and we'll coordinate timing. Most airport deliveries are completed within 30 minutes of your landing.
A wide manual wheelchair is a folding chair built on a reinforced frame with a roomier 20-inch seat and an 18-inch seat depth, rated to 350 lb. It works like any manual chair, the user can self-propel with the large 24-inch rear wheels or a companion can push from the rear handles, but the extra width makes sitting for hours far more comfortable for a broader frame.
Anyone who finds a standard 16 to 18-inch seat too tight, and anyone up to 350 lb. It is a common choice for post-surgery recovery, seniors who tire on longer outings, and family members visiting for the holidays. If the user is over 350 lb, ask about our bariatric wheelchair, which is rated to 500 lb. Call (847) 696-6814 and we will match the seat width to the user.
Wide Manual Wheelchair rental is $150 for 7 days, $205 for 14 days, $285 for 30 days, $360 for 45 days, and $440 for 60 days. Every rental includes free delivery, setup, and pickup, with no hidden fees. Pick the number of days you need and call (847) 696-6814 for an exact quote on your dates.
Simple 3-step process: (1) Call us at (847) 696-6814 or use the 'Rent Now' button on our website to select rental dates. (2) We schedule free delivery within 24 hours. (3) Our team delivers the wide manual wheelchair clean, unfolded, and ready to use. When you're done, call us and we pick it up free.
In most homes, yes. The 20-inch seat puts overall width at roughly 27 to 28 inches, which clears a standard 30 to 32-inch doorway. Older homes and apartment bathrooms can be tighter, so measure your narrowest door frame and call (847) 696-6814. If it is close, we can bring a standard-width chair instead on the same delivery.
Absolutely, summer festivals are among our most popular rentals. Taste of Chicago, Lollapalooza, and the Air & Water Show all mean long days at Grant Park. We deliver to your hotel, home, or rental. Book at least 1 week in advance during festival season as availability fills up fast. Call (847) 696-6814 to reserve.
Yes. Every chair has a reinforced frame rated to 350 lb, a padded 20-inch seat and back, swing-away leg rests, and fixed or detachable armrests. Each unit is inspected before delivery, frame, wheels, brakes, and leg rests, then sanitized to hospital-grade standards. We set it up and adjust it for the user on arrival.
Yes. The chair folds flat and airlines check wide manual wheelchairs free of charge, cruise lines and trains accommodate them too. Give the airline advance notice and you can use the chair right up to the gate. Many customers rent specifically for cruises and fly-in visits.
Standard chairs run 16 to 18 inches, this wide model is 20 inches, and our bariatric chair starts at 22 inches with a 500 lb capacity. Measure the user across the hips while seated and add about two inches. Call (847) 696-6814 with that number and we will send the right chair.
Yes. We're a regular partner for hospital discharge planning at Northwestern Memorial, Rush University Medical Center, University of Chicago Medical Center, Advocate Illinois Masonic, Ascension Saint Joseph, and Mount Sinai.

Yes, both are very popular use cases. We deliver to Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Soldier Field (Bears games and concerts), Wrigley Field, Guaranteed Rate Field, and the United Center. Day rentals or multi-day rentals available. The folding design means you can store it in your car between events. Call (847) 696-6814 to book.
Yes. It folds flat in seconds with no tools and fits in the trunk of most sedans, SUVs, and minivans. The frame weighs about 35 lb without the leg rests, so most people can lift it with one hand on the frame and one on the seat rail.
As short as 3 days (minimum rental), as long as you need, no maximum. Most customers rent for 1-2 week recoveries, vacations, weekend events, or multi-month needs. Extend anytime with one phone call, no paperwork, no extra fees.
Medicare Part B may cover wide manual wheelchair rentals with a doctor's prescription if medically necessary. Private insurance coverage varies. We provide itemized receipts for your reimbursement claim. For travel rentals (vacations, cruises), insurance typically does not cover, these are self-pay rentals.
