What To Know About Knee Walker Rentals

Updated: Sep 28, 2021

If you’ve broken your foot or your ankle, chances are that you’ve heard about knee walkers or knee scooters. These unique mobility devices represent an innovative approach to getting around, as they completely take your injured foot out of the equation. Think about it as a normal scooter – one that’s designed to take your weight off of your injured foot and transition it to your knee.

Knee walkers and knee scooters are becoming a very popular choice for people who need to spend the next three to six months in a cast. Unlike crutches – which can often be unstable and lead to a greater chance of re-injury – knee walkers are much more stable and allow you to move around with greater ease. Knee walkers allow you to move forward with your good foot, while balancing the weight from your injured foot onto the kneepad of the scooter.

While knee walkers are becoming even more common, there’s no denying that many people still have questions on how to rent a knee walker. And when you’re suffering from a foot or ankle injury, you don’t want to waste your time trying to figure out how to get your hands on a knee walker…


You want it as soon as you hobble out of the hospital!


Knee Walker Rental

Fortunately, this article will detail what you need to know about renting knee walkers. From checking with your insurance company to finding the best deals, you’ll find everything you need to know right here:

  1. Before you even begin looking for knee walkers, be sure to contact your insurance company to ask about how payments will be handled. Depending on your insurance company, you may find that you will need to pay the rental fees upfront in order to be reimbursed by your insurance. Your insurance may handle the entire process yourself – or you may even find that your deductible applies to your rental fees. Be sure you have a crystal-clear understanding of your insurance coverage, as you don’t want to receive a nasty surprise when your rental bill is rejected by your coverage.

  2. Once you’ve cleared out this information, you’ll want to conduct a thorough search for a knee walker rental in your area. Keep in mind that your hospital or doctor might have a referral in mind, so don’t be afraid to ask.

  3. Check out knee walker rentals online. You may find that there’s a national brand that can provide you with a high-quality knee walker rental and even delivery it right to your front door (bonus!). As with using any new service, be sure to check out the vendor online before investing any money in the rental. You want to be sure that you’re using a vendor with a long and happy history of satisfied customers – and that you won’t get ripped off!

  4. Finally, be sure you understand the terms and service of working with a certain knee walker rental service. Be sure you understand how the knee walker rental will be delivered and picked up, the weekly fees, any taxes and surcharges, and penalties for damaging or destroying the knee walker.

Now that you understand how to rent a knee walker, it’s time to get your hands on the coolest mobility device around!
