Hi, i am wanting to hire a wheelchair for my mother but don't know where is a good place. Some of the websites look so old i'm worried they will steal my money

Heya @jay2900 and welcome to the community, I'm hope you're ok on this sunny day?

With regard to hiring wheelchairs, there are a lot of places that can help you. The Red Cross are a trusted organisation and offer hire. There's also Mobility Hire, which I've seen a few people on here talk about.

Hi, thanks for this. I will check them out and update here if somebody else is in the same position.

Hi, just to update this for anyone else in a similar position.

I spent a load of time researching over the weekend and some of these companies are charging way too much.

Mobility hire for example charges £46.8 for delivery, that's crazy, I hope they come and help me push for that price

Red cross is reasonable but will only deliver 1 day a week, so that's not ideal.

Lendocare look reasonable too, with similar pricing to red cross but can deliver anytime.

Wheelfreedom seems to be overpriced like Mobility hire, £43.20 for delivery


I put some pricing for these companies for 1 and 2 weeks as reference for anyone interested.

1 week hire:
   Red cross - £47
   Mobility hire - £82.2
   Lendocare - £49.99
   Wheelfreedom - £61.2

2 week hire:
   Red cross - £69
   Mobility hire - £82.2
   Lendocare - £69.99
   Wheelfreedom - £79.2


I ended up booking with Lendocare because of the cheapest delivery and also total price was less than a pound more than red cross but I'm having it delivered when i need it. This is their website if anyone is interested https://www.lendocare.com/

Hope this helps and have a nice day.
