Manual wheelchairs for rent in Istanbul

Our manual wheelchair rental in Istanbul is the simplest way to see the city when walking long distances is difficult. You choose the wheelchair online, we deliver it to your hotel, home, hospital or the cruise port, adjust it for the user and collect it again when your trip ends. There is no deposit and nothing to pay in advance.

A manual wheelchair is pushed by a companion or by the user with the hand rims. It has no battery to charge, folds into a taxi boot in seconds and is light enough to lift onto a ferry or a tram. For most visitors who can stand for a moment and transfer from a chair, it is the most practical choice for Istanbul’s museums, mosques and restaurants.

Which manual wheelchair should you rent?

We group our manual wheelchairs into three types, so you can choose by how you will use the chair:

  • Standard wheelchairs: a steel or aluminium frame with large rear wheels, so the user can also push themselves. A good all-round chair for long sightseeing days and for users up to about 100–120 kg, depending on the model.
  • Lightweight folding wheelchairs: an aluminium frame of roughly 11–14 kg that is easy to lift into taxis and minibuses. Ideal when a companion will fold and carry the chair many times a day.
  • Transit wheelchairs: small rear wheels and a compact fold for pushing by a companion only. The narrowest option for old-town lanes, shops and crowded ferries.

If the user needs to keep a leg raised after an injury or surgery, choose a model with elevating leg rests, such as our standard wheelchair with elevating footrests. Tell us the user’s height and weight when you book and we will prepare the right seat width and footrest length.

How manual wheelchair rental in Istanbul works

  1. Choose a wheelchair and enter your delivery and collection dates and times. Our team confirms the total price, including delivery, by WhatsApp or e-mail before anything is due.
  2. We confirm the booking by e-mail and agree the exact delivery time with you by phone or WhatsApp.
  3. Our team brings the wheelchair to the address you gave, adjusts the footrests and shows you how to fold it and use the brakes.
  4. On your last day we collect the wheelchair from the same or another address in our service area.

The rental period is counted in 24-hour days from delivery to collection, so a delivery on Monday at 10:00 and a collection on Thursday at 10:00 is three days. Most of our wheelchairs can be rented for a single day. For longer stays there are no hidden extras, and our team confirms the total before anything is due.

Getting around Istanbul in a manual wheelchair

Istanbul is hilly and many old streets are cobbled, so a companion who can push on slopes makes a big difference. The flat areas around Sultanahmet, the Galataport waterfront and the Bosphorus shore in Beşiktaş are the easiest to explore. Modern trams, the metro and most city ferries have step-free boarding, and the main museums offer ramps or lifts at their accessible entrances.

A manual wheelchair also fits into the boot of a normal taxi when folded. If you plan longer distances every day or the user cannot be pushed comfortably uphill, compare it with our electric wheelchairs, which drive themselves at walking speed.
