Reply To: Starting a medical equipment rental business for tourists
Hello,
As an electric wheelchair user, I think that it is very important to be able to find equipment to rent when traveling.
I for example always rent a hoist, as it is difficult to carry one with me. I know also people who rent for example (electric) wheelchairs when they travel, as they are afraid that during a flight, theirs might be damaged. I also try to find rental companies in case my wheelchair get damaged during a trip. Therefore, I think that there is demand for companies which rent equipment for disabled travelers.
I am not sure what exactly you mean, when you say that you plan a “great (exceptional) & personalized service online”. Do you still intend to rent equipment, but only after getting requests to do so? I am not an expert in this field, and I have not yet rented something in Spain, and thus I don’t know if there are already enough companies which rent such equipment, but I know that there are many disabled travelers who rent their wheelchairs, hoists etc.
Either way, I wish you good luck with your attempt
