Medical equipment hire in Singapore: what it costs and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

In Singapore a wheelchair or pushchair rents from about S$15 a week, a mobility scooter from about S$35 a day, and a hospital bed or oxygen concentrator from about S$120 to S$180 a month. Check the full price with delivery before you book, and for a quote on your situation describe the equipment and the period in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licence and subsidy rules

Medical devices must be registered with the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) before they can be sold in Singapore, unless they are class A devices, so ask the hirer to confirm that the equipment it rents is registered. The Equipment Rental Scheme (ERS) subsidises weekly rental fees for approved equipment, such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, oxygen concentrators and pressure relief mattresses, and covers up to two-way transport. It is open to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents. A mobility aids loan scheme lets members use borrowed equipment free for six months, then charges a monthly rent.

Season and climate

Singapore is hot and humid all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so there is no winter peak to plan around. Demand follows the patient's condition, not the calendar, so book as soon as the need is known. Equipment that runs on electricity, such as an oxygen concentrator, should sit in a cool, ventilated room. Ask the hirer how the unit is maintained and what happens if it fails.

Delivery and how it is rented

One listing for scooters and wheelchairs says delivery is optional and no deposit is needed, so ask about both. Check whether delivery and collection are in the price, and which town they cover: Singapore, Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio. Measure before you order: give the doorway and room width in centimetres for a bed, and the width of the wheelchair you need. State the rental length in weeks or months.

What to write in the request

Name the equipment, such as a wheelchair, a hospital bed or an oxygen concentrator, and the specification you need, such as seat width or oxygen flow. Keep patient details general: say whether the person needs help moving around, not medical records. Add the lease term, what must be included (set-up, assembly, consumables), whether a deposit or collateral is acceptable, the town and your monthly budget.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe what you need in a chat, for free. The AI asks about missing details, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply with their own offer, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose. For general equipment see equipment hire.
