How is a transport wheelchair different from a standard wheelchair?

A transport chair is pushed by someone else. It has small rear wheels and no hand rims, so the rider cannot roll it alone. Standard wheelchairs have large rear wheels the user can propel.

Can I take it on a plane or in a car?

Most transport chairs fold and fit in a car trunk. For flights, confirm with the airline and the rental provider, since gate-check and cabin rules vary by carrier.

What weight and size does it fit?

Transport chairs are usually rated around 250 to 300 pounds and fit adults of average build. Ask the provider for the specific chair's weight limit and seat width before you rely on it.

Is a rental better than buying one?

For a few days or weeks, a rental avoids the cost and storage of ownership. If you need a chair for months or daily use, buying gives you a known fit and condition.

What should I check when it arrives?

Check the brakes, tires, footrests and seat upholstery, and confirm the return date and cleaning policy. Report damage before use so you are not charged for it.
