Rentals
The hardest part of a long graduation or a reunion isn't the walking. It's not knowing where the next place to sit will be. A rollator carries its own seat, so the person you're booking for can walk in for the photo, rest when they're tired, and stay for the whole day instead of bowing out early.
What's the difference between a rollator and a walker?
The old "walker" is a 2-wheel or 4-leg frame without a seat. You pick it up slightly with each step. Older design, mostly seen indoors.
A "rollator" is a 4-wheel rolling walker with hand brakes and a padded seat built into the frame. You roll it (no lifting), stop and sit when you need a break, then keep going. Almost everyone renting "a walker" today actually wants a rollator. The seat alone is worth it for anyone covering more than a few hundred feet.
Common reasons people in Lawrence rent
- KU graduation. Relatives who can walk but tire out across the long campus distances. Sit between waypoints, walk in for the photo.
- Family weddings and reunions. Older guests who want to dance for one song and rest between sets.
- Travel and tourism. You're visiting family in Lawrence and want a backup for the day at the Plaza, the zoo, or downtown shopping.
What we rent
- Medline F-22 (lightweight Euro-style rollator): a lightweight 4-wheel rollator with hand brakes and a built-in seat. Compact folding for car-trunk transport.
Delivery and use
Rollators are the smallest equipment we rent. They fold flat and we can deliver in a sedan if you'd rather we drop it at a hotel or family member's house. Standard delivery to Lawrence starts at $75. The fee covers the round trip; we come back to pick up at the end of your rental.
What's not included
- No insurance billing. Direct-paid.
- No prescription needed.
- No health advice. Talk to your doctor if you're not sure whether a rollator or a cane fits your needs.
Frequently asked
How much is a rollator rental in Lawrence?
Rollator rentals in Lawrence are $50/week or $100/month. There's no daily rate, and the minimum is one week. Lawrence delivery starts at $75.
Is a rollator the same thing as a rolling walker?
Yes, same product, different names. A rollator (sometimes "rollator walker" or "rolling walker") is a 4-wheel walker with hand brakes and a built-in seat for resting. The older 2-wheel walker without a seat is technically called a "walker," but most people use "walker rental" interchangeably with rollator. We rent the 4-wheel rollator with seat as the default.
Can I rent a walker for one day?
Plenty of our rollator rentals are for a short occasion: a graduation, a wedding, a family event where someone walks a long distance and needs a place to sit when they get tired. Two things shape the booking. Rollators have no daily rate, so any stay of a week or less is billed at the one-week flat rate. And every rental, delivery or store pickup from our Leavenworth location, is booked for a minimum of 2 calendar days. Need a single-day rental? Contact us at (913) 775-1098 to see if an exception can be made; exceptions are case-by-case, not guaranteed, and cannot be booked online.
Do rollators have a seat?
Our rollators do. That's the main upgrade over an old-style walker. The built-in padded seat lets the rider stop and rest mid-walk. The frame folds for car loading.
What's the weight capacity?
Our rollators handle up to 300 lbs.
Will it fit in my car?
Yes. Our rollators fold flat for trunk loading. The lightweight Euro-style folds to about the size of a small suitcase.
