In this guide, I’ll show you the best places to rent a wheelchair, how to reserve in advance, and insider tips to make your stay smooth and stress-free—so you can enjoy Paris without limits.
Let's take a look at the different rental options
Pharmacies – Local, Affordable, but not English Friendly
Some pharmacies rent manual wheelchairs usually at a very affordable rate. But this option has a few cons :
- Not all pharmacies offer this option
- Most often the staff doesn’t speak English, so booking by phone might be quite complicated if you don’t speak French.
- You will have to book it in advance as there’s limited availability.

Hotels – Convenient Option if Your Accommodation Offers It
If you’re staying at an hotel, some offer wheelchair rental, you can check with your hotel if they do. If not, you can always ask if it’s possible that they book a wheelchair for you. It can be a good option if you want everything arranged through your accommodation.
