Wheelchair rentals in Texas aren't only for recovery at home. Visitors coming to Texas for weddings, reunions, medical appointments, conventions, sports events or vacations often need a wheelchair for a few days or weeks, and so do residents traveling within the state. Mr. Biomed Tech Services rents standard, lightweight, transport and bariatric wheelchairs across Texas, with same-day delivery for in-stock rentals across Dallas–Fort Worth and scheduled delivery elsewhere. See our medical equipment rental catalog or buy a wheelchair at our store, Mr. Bedmed.

Planning a Rental Around Your Trip
- Book before you travel, with the delivery address (home, hotel or relative's house) and dates.
- Check that hotels and venues are accessible, including restrooms and entrances.
- Measure your car's trunk if the chair will travel by car.
- Plan pickup for the day before or day of departure.
- Bring a seat cushion if you'll sit for long periods.
Hotels and Event Venues
Many hotels can receive a delivery at the front desk if you tell them in advance. Ask about accessible rooms, roll-in showers and elevator access when booking. For events, check whether the venue has accessible seating and drop-off areas. A transport chair is easier for companions to manage in crowds; a self-propelled chair gives the user more independence.
Using a Rented Wheelchair Safely
- Lock both brakes before getting in or out.
- Fold the footrests out of the way during transfers.
- Go down curbs and ramps backward with a helper when steep.
- Don't hang heavy bags on the handles; they can tip the chair.
- Check the tires and brakes each day.
Longer Recoveries
If the need turns into a longer recovery at home, we can extend the rental, add a hospital bed or bathroom equipment, or quote a purchase. Home equipment is supported through our home health equipment services. Facilities that need several wheelchairs for a short time can use our short-term hospital equipment rental service.
What Every Rental Includes
Each wheelchair is cleaned, disinfected and inspected before delivery, with brakes, tires and footrests checked. We deliver it, adjust it for the user and pick it up when you're done. If anything goes wrong, we repair or replace it. Service requests receive a response in under 8 business hours, Monday through Friday. See our service locations.
Book early around big events: holidays, graduations and large conventions are busy times. Reserve as soon as your travel dates are set, especially for bariatric or lightweight models.
Air travel with a wheelchair: if you’re flying into Texas, most airlines provide wheelchair assistance through the airport, so you may only need a rental at your destination. Arrange airport assistance when you book your flight, then have the rental delivered to where you’re staying. If you bring your own wheelchair, label it, remove loose parts such as cushions and footrests before check-in, and photograph it in case of damage. A rental at your destination can also serve as a backup if your own chair is delayed or damaged in transit, which happens more often than travelers expect.
Choosing self-propelled or transport: self-propelled chairs have large rear wheels the user can push; transport chairs have small wheels and need a companion. If the user will be alone at times, choose self-propelled; if a companion will always push, a transport chair is lighter and folds smaller for the car. Ask us if you are unsure which suits your trip.
