When organizing a trip, it can be advantageous to consider renting medical equipment at your destination rather than lugging everything along with you. Some items may be too large to carry on a flight or transport in a vehicle, and renting ensures that you have all the necessary equipment throughout your journey. While hotels or cruise ships may offer certain equipment, specialized mobility equipment rental companies like Mobility City can provide a wide range of options tailored to your needs. The process of renting medical equipment with Mobility City for your trip is a simple, hassle-free experience that allows you to fully enjoy your travels.
Determine What Mobility Equipment You Will Need When Traveling
Having a clear understanding of the specific medical equipment you need, including details such as the manufacturer, make, and model (if possible), can save you valuable time when searching for suitable rental options. While hotels and cruise ships may have some basic equipment available, opting for a rental company like Mobility City ensures access to the specific equipment you’re accustomed to. When considering renting medical equipment for your trip, it’s worth exploring potential upgrades or alternatives to enhance your comfort. For example, a motorized recliner chair might be more beneficial than a regular recliner chair, depending on the nature of your journey. By carefully assessing your needs, you can easily find the right rental equipment that suits your requirements, making your trip more enjoyable. With over +30 stores across the US, we offer short and long-term rentals on several mobility items:
A) Wheelchairs and Transport Chair Rentals
F) Hoyer Patient Lift Rentals
We also offer a mobility equipment showroom at all of our locations that carries stock in a number of items and accessories if you don’t want to travel with them and get them while you are on your trip!
Explore the Mobility Equipment Rental Options at Your Destination
There are three primary options for renting medical equipment while traveling: utilizing the equipment offered by your hotel, cruise ship, or opting for an external rental company.
Checking what equipment is available at your hotel or cruise ship can be a convenient option when looking for basic items like wheelchairs or accommodations. However, it’s important to plan ahead and clearly communicate your specific needs, as the staff may not be as knowledgeable about medical equipment as you are.
Opting for renting mobility equipment through Mobility City offers several advantages, including larger inventories and the convenience of equipment delivery and pickup at your destination. With a number of locations in some of the most popular tourist destinations in the US, renting mobility equipment with Mobility City is easy and convenient. While we may not always have the exact same item you’re familiar with, our staff will work closely with you to provide a rental that closely matches your desired specifications and functionality but is tailored to fit you perfectly!
What to Consider When Renting Mobility Equipment While Traveling
Type of Mobility Equipment
Determine the specific type of mobility equipment you require, such as a wheelchair, mobility scooter, or walker. Consider your mobility limitations and choose the equipment that best suits your needs and preferences.
Weight and Portability
If you plan to travel by air or need to transport the equipment frequently, opt for lightweight and portable models. Ensure that the equipment can be easily folded or disassembled for transportation and fits within the size restrictions imposed by airlines or other modes of transportation.
Accessibility of Destinations
Research the accessibility of your travel destinations. Determine if there are any potential obstacles, such as uneven terrain, steep slopes, or narrow doorways, that may affect your mobility. Choose equipment that is suitable for the environment you’ll encounter during your trip.
Rental Duration
Consider the length of your trip and determine the duration for which you’ll need the equipment. At Mobility City, we offer daily, weekly, or monthly rates on our mobility equipment rentals. Contact a store near you or near your vacation destination to learn more!
Equipment Specifications
The more detailed information we can get about your requirements, the better! Communicate your height, weight, and any specific features you need, such as adjustable seats or armrests. This will help our teams recommend the most suitable equipment for your comfort and safety.
Insurance Coverage
Check if your existing insurance or travel insurance covers the rental equipment. If not, discuss options at the Mobility City location you will be renting from!
