A wheelchair on a city path, with a companion walking beside it
Wheelchair rental in NYC

Need a wheelchair for a few weeks? Don't buy one.

A wheelchair is something most of us need for weeks, not years. Green Gooding connects you with local NYC medical-supply shops and neighbors, so you can rent the right chair for as long as you need it, then hand it back.

When people rent one

After surgery or an injury.

Get home from the hospital and get around while you heal.

When family visits.

Grandma's in town for two weeks and the subway stairs aren't an option. A transport chair makes the museum, the park and dinner possible.

For a trip or an event.

A wedding, a graduation, a long museum day. Rent for the day you need it.

While you decide.

Try a chair before committing to buying one.

Quick answers

How much does a wheelchair rental cost?

Each shop sets its own price, and most medical-supply shops share it on request. Ask through a listing and we'll get it for you.

Can it be delivered?

Some shops deliver locally, others offer pickup. The shop confirms once you ask.

Will a wheelchair fit in a taxi?

A transport chair folds smallest and is the easiest for cabs and car trunks. Ask the shop for the folded size.

Which wheelchair is right for me?

Your doctor or physical therapist is the best person to say which chair fits your recovery. Once you know, we help you find one nearby and rent it.

Rent the chair. Hand it back.

Tell us what you need and your dates. We ask local shops for you.
