If This Sounds Like You, a Transport Chair Can Help
A lightweight chair that someone pushes for you, easy to lift, folds for the car, and simple to take anywhere, without paying $100 to $300+ to buy one outright. Rent it for as long as you need, then send it back.
Pushing a Loved One on Outings
A transport chair is built to be pushed by a caregiver or family member. At just 18-19 lb it's easy to steer and easy to lift, so getting Mom or Dad out of the house is far less of a struggle.
Doctor Visits & Long Waits
Big clinics and hospitals mean long hallways and longer waits. A companion chair lets someone roll your family member from the car to the appointment and back without wearing everyone out.
Airports, Malls & Travel
It folds compact and lifts into a car trunk, so it's easy to bring along. Rent one for a trip, a long day at the airport, a museum, or a theme park, then return it when you're back.
Tires Easily on Long Distances
Some people walk fine at home but can't manage a long mall, a fair, or a family event. A transport chair gives them a comfortable place to sit and be pushed when the distance is too much.
Short-Term After Surgery or Illness
While someone recovers and can't walk far, a companion chair covers the gap. Keep it for a few weeks with help getting around, no reason to buy a chair you'll only need briefly.
Try Before You Buy
Not sure a transport chair is the right fit? Rent first. See how light it is to push and lift, and whether it suits your routine, before spending $100 to $300+ on one of your own.

Why a Transport Chair Beats a Standard Wheelchair for Trips
A standard wheelchair is heavy and bulky to lift, with large rear wheels. A transport chair weighs around 18 to 19 lb with four small wheels, so a caregiver can push, fold, and lift it with much less effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you rent a transport or companion chair.
Right here. We rent lightweight transport chairs, also called companion chairs, and ship them anywhere in the United States. Pick your dates, order online, and the chair arrives at your door. When you're done, send it back with the prepaid label. No store trip and no prescription needed.
A transport chair, also called a companion chair, is a wheelchair designed to be pushed by another person rather than self-propelled. Instead of two large rear wheels, it has four small wheels, which makes it much lighter and more compact than a standard wheelchair, easy to push, fold, and lift into a car.
A transport chair is built to be pushed by a caregiver, family member, or companion. Because it has four small wheels and no large hand-rim wheels, the person sitting in it cannot self-propel. If you need a chair the user can push themselves, ask us about a standard manual wheelchair instead.
The chair weighs around 18 to 19 lb, which is much lighter than a full-size wheelchair (often 30 to 40 lb). That makes it easy to lift into a car trunk, carry up a step, or move around the house without straining your back.
The transport chair supports users up to 300 lb on a sturdy frame, similar to a standard manual wheelchair. Transport chairs also come in different widths and capacities, so if you need something specific, call (847) 696-6814 and we'll confirm what's available.
Yes. Swing-away leg rests with footrests come standard. They swing aside to make getting in and out of the chair easier, and they help keep the user comfortable while being pushed.
Yes. The chair folds down compactly and fits in the trunk of most cars. Combined with its light weight, that makes it simple to bring along to appointments, events, or on a trip, and easy to store at home between uses.
It's ideal for them. A transport chair was designed for getting around on short trips, doctor visits, airports, malls, museums, theme parks, and family events. It's light to push for long distances and folds away when it's not needed.
A standard wheelchair has two large rear wheels so the user can self-propel, but it's heavier and bulkier. A transport chair has four small wheels, so it's lighter and more compact but must be pushed by someone else. For short outings and travel, the transport chair is much easier to handle.
Pricing depends on how long you keep it. Daily and weekly rates suit short needs like an event or a trip, and monthly rates apply for longer use. Buying a transport chair outright runs from about $100 to $300 or more, so renting for a short period costs far less. Select your dates on this page to see the price.
No. A transport chair is not a prescription device, so you can rent one without a doctor's note. People rent them for a recovering or older family member, for travel, or for any day when walking long distances is too much. If you're unsure what fits, just call us.
We ship transport chairs across all 50 states. Order online, choose your rental dates, and the chair ships to your address, a home, a hospital discharge address, a rehab center, assisted living, or a hotel while traveling. It arrives folded and ready to use in minutes.
Yes. If you need the chair longer, call or message us before your end date and we'll extend it. If you finish early, send it back with the prepaid return label whenever you're ready. We'll let you know if any change affects your rate.
First we clear dust and debris with a dry soft cloth and air spray. Then a 75% alcohol-based disinfectant is sprayed throughout, especially at contact points like the armrests and wheel rims, and left to sit for 15 minutes before a wipe down. The seat is brushed to remove lint and hair, then disinfected again.
You can split your payment into 4 interest-free installments with Shop Pay at checkout. And you can cancel free up to 24 hours before your order ships, if your plans change after that, contact us and we'll work with you.
