🧭 Why Hire a Wheelchair in London?

Wheelchair hire comes in handy for many situations:

  • Post-surgery recovery
  • Hospital discharge with temporary needs
  • Visiting friends, family, or care homes
  • Touring London with limited mobility
  • Travel through stations, museums, parks, or the Tube

Instead of purchasing a wheelchair or struggling with airport or hotel rentals, hiring one for a few days or weeks offers comfort, convenience, and flexibility.

🔍 FAQs

Can I hire a wheelchair for just a weekend?
Yes, LendoCare allows flexible hire from 2 days or longer. Just book your start/end dates, we can deliver on a Friday or Saturday and collect on the Monday. We recommend for the wheelchair to be delivered at least the day before your arrival so it's ready for you when you arrive.

Will the wheelchair fit in a car?
Yes, all LendoCare wheelchairs fold and fit in standard car boots or taxis. The tyres are quick release so can be easily detached to be extra compact.

Do you deliver to care homes or hotels in London?
Absolutely, LendoCare delivers to any address, including care homes, hotels, and private flats. Please note we don't deliver to airports but can deliver to your hotel ready for your arrival.

Can I collect?
Unfortunately our warehouses aren't open to the public so you'll need to book in advance for us to deliver to a convenient address
