Medical equipment hire in Canada: what it costs and delivery

Updated 4 November 2026

A walker or rollator costs about CA$30–CA$70 to rent in Canada, a hospital bed about CA$150–CA$350 and a mobility scooter about CA$150–CA$400, approximately, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. The quickest way to get current rates for your city is to post a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Delivery within your city

Delivery can be quoted separately from the rent. One supplier charges CA$50 for service, delivery and pick-up within 30 km of its base, from CA$160 outside that area, and CA$100 for a lift chair delivered and set up within 15 km. A Toronto supplier rents across the Greater Toronto Area, Vancouver offers local delivery or in-store pickup, and Calgary suppliers deliver to the door, so confirm the local area before you agree a date.

Rental periods and winter

Canadian suppliers quote daily, weekly and monthly rates, and a Calgary supplier lets you extend if recovery takes longer. Ask which period your price covers. For large equipment, call ahead, because an Edmonton supplier warns that availability varies. Winter in Canada runs December–February, so agree delivery and pick-up dates in writing before a winter discharge. Mention whether the person lives in a house or an apartment, because stairs can change the delivery price. In British Columbia the provincial health pages list a free assessment, fitting and trial of medical equipment, which is worth asking about before you rent.

What to write in the request

Name the equipment and the specification you need, and say who will use it: their size and how far they need to move, not their medical file. Add the lease term, what is included (delivery, assembly, cleaning), whether a deposit is taken and when it comes back, the city (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa) and the monthly rent you can pay. If the equipment is for a home, measure doorways and stairs first and say so in the request. Give dimensions in centimetres and weights in kilograms.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the equipment in your own words in the chat, and the AI asks for missing details, then looks through suppliers' websites and rate lists in Canada and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered suppliers reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to exchange them. For other items, see rentals & hire.
