Why Families Are Renting Wheelchairs Instead of Buying

Post-surgery recovery, elder care, and temporary mobility support — these are the top reasons families rent wheelchairs in India. Most wheelchair needs are temporary (2-8 weeks). Buying a wheelchair for ₹8,000-₹15,000 when you need it for 30 days makes no financial sense.
