Stroller, Wheelchair & Rollator Rental in Seoul (Hongdae, Exit 3)


Seoul is a walking city — palaces, markets, hills, and a lot of subway stairs. That's wonderful until someone in your group can't keep up the pace: a toddler whose legs give out by lunch, a parent recovering from surgery, or a grandparent who'd love to see Gyeongbokgung but not on foot all day. The fix isn't to slow the whole trip down. It's wheels — and you don't have to fly them in from home. You can rent a stroller, wheelchair, or rollator in Seoul and pick it up the moment you arrive.

At KPLANZ, directly connected to Hongik University Station Exit 3, we keep foldable, travel-ready models in stock for exactly this. Here's the full lineup, who each one suits, and how renting works.

🍼 Strollers — travel light with little ones

Gate-checking a stroller from home means it rides in cargo, comes back scratched about a third of the time, and leaves you carrying a tired toddler through the terminal. Renting in Seoul skips all of that. We stock two:

RYAN Prime Lite (compact) — ₩15,000/day. About 6.3 kg, folds down to roughly 48 × 30 × 56 cm, and suits newborns up to around 36 months. This is the easy everyday choice for getting around the city and on and off the subway.

Pomporra N2 (full-feature) — ₩26,000/day. A fuller stroller at about 8.6 kg with a seat that fully reclines (up to 170°) so a newborn can lie flat, plus a reversible handle so your baby can face you or the view. Good for younger infants and longer sightseeing days.

Not sure which fits your trip? Our deeper guide covers six situations visiting families run into — twins, "she can walk… until she can't," multi-city trips, and more.

♿ Wheelchair — full mobility support

Folding manual wheelchair — ₩15,000/day. An aluminum-frame foldable chair, about 11 kg, supporting up to 100 kg, with hand brakes and a comfortable seat. It folds to roughly 25 × 75 × 102 cm — small enough for a standard Korean taxi trunk, hotel room, and subway gates. This is the right pick when someone needs to be seated and pushed for most of the day: senior parents, post-surgery recovery, or anyone conserving energy across a packed itinerary.

For deposit details, subway accessibility tips, and flat-route suggestions around Hongdae, see our full wheelchair rental guide.

🚶 Rollators — the in-between option many travelers miss

A rollator is a four-wheeled walking frame with hand brakes and a built-in seat. It's for the traveler who can walk but needs steady support — and a place to sit and rest whenever the line is long or the legs get tired. For a lot of older visitors, a rollator is actually a better fit than a wheelchair: it keeps them walking and independent, just with a safety net.

Keeve KV-R2 — ₩21,000/day. A stable 4-wheel rollator, about 7.5 kg, with an adjustable handle height, a comfortable seat and backrest, hand brakes, and a foldable frame. Korean-made and easy to manage on Seoul's sidewalks and parks.

Rollz Motion 2 (2-in-1) — ₩38,000/day. A premium rollator that converts into a wheelchair when needed — walk with it most of the time, then switch to seated-and-pushed mode for the long stretches. About 11.6 kg, made in the Netherlands. Ideal when a traveler's stamina varies day to day, or across a long sightseeing route where they'll want both.

How renting works

  • Minimum 2 nights, 3 days. The 3-day rate is the smallest booking; extra days are added at the same daily rate. We count by calendar dates, so an earlier pickup gives you more hours for the same price.
  • Pick up at Exit 3. Take the AREX straight from Incheon to Hongik University Station and walk to our connected entrance — no transfers, no stairs with luggage.
  • Refundable deposit, no paperwork. A refundable deposit is held at pickup (card or cash in store) and returned in full when you bring the item back. No passport required.
  • Book ahead. Stock changes often and mobility items can sell out in peak weeks (cherry blossom, autumn foliage, Chuseok, Lunar New Year). Walk-ins are welcome, but a reservation guarantees availability.

Delivery & collection

Prefer not to come to the shop? We can deliver to and collect from your hotel or location in Seoul, and airport pickup is available too. This isn't automatic: fees and availability depend on your location and schedule, and delivery/airport service takes a cash deposit only. Please message us in advance with your dates, items, and address, and we'll confirm and send a quote.

Drop your bags while you're here

Picking up on your first day before check-in, or returning on your last day before a night flight? You can also store your luggage at the same Exit 3 counter — so the whole group can sort wheels and bags in one stop and head straight into the city hands-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I rent a stroller, wheelchair, or rollator in Seoul?
At KPLANZ, directly connected to Hongik University Station Exit 3 in Hongdae. From Incheon Airport you can take the AREX train straight there with no transfers.

What is the minimum rental period?
Two nights, three days. The 3-day rate is the smallest booking; additional days are charged at the same daily rate. Rentals can be extended for the length of your trip.

How much does it cost?
Daily rates are: strollers from ₩15,000 (compact) to ₩26,000 (full-feature), the folding wheelchair ₩15,000, the Keeve rollator ₩21,000, and the Rollz Motion 2 rollator-wheelchair ₩38,000 — each per day, with a 3-day minimum.

What's the difference between a rollator and a wheelchair?
A rollator is a four-wheeled walking frame with brakes and a seat, for someone who can walk but needs support and rest stops. A wheelchair is for someone who needs to be seated and pushed. The Rollz Motion 2 does both — it converts between the two.

Will these fit in a Korean taxi?
Yes. Every model is foldable and sized to fit a standard taxi trunk, hotel room, and subway gates. The folding wheelchair collapses to about 25 × 75 × 102 cm.

Do you deliver, or do I pick up in store?
Both. In-store pickup at Exit 3 is standard. Delivery, collection, and airport pickup are available on request, but fees and availability depend on your location and schedule, and require a cash deposit — message us in advance for a quote.

Do I need to book in advance?
It's strongly recommended. Stock changes frequently and mobility items can run out in peak travel weeks. Walk-ins are welcome but stock isn't guaranteed.

Pack less, care more

Whether you're traveling with a toddler, a parent who tires easily, or grandparents who want a gentler pace, the right set of wheels is the difference between a hard day and an easy one — and you can pick it up the hour you land. Reserve ahead or ask about availability by Instagram DM @kplanz.official, see the full catalog at visit.kplanz.com, or email kplanz.official@gmail.com.

Where to Store Luggage in Hongdae (Near Hongik Univ. Station)

Two moments quietly ruin the start and end of a lot of Seoul trips. The first is landing at Incheon in the morning with hours to kill before hotel check-in, dragging a suitcase up and down subway stairs because there's nowhere to put it. The second is the last day: you've checked out, your flight is at night, and you're stuck choosing between an awkward afternoon tethered to your bags or paying for an extra hotel night you won't sleep in. If either sounds familiar, the fix is simple — store your luggage in Hongdae and explore the city hands-free.

Here at KPLANZ, directly connected to Hongik University Station Exit 3, we run a staffed luggage counter for exactly these moments. This guide covers where to store bags in Hongdae, what it costs, and how to make your first and last day in Seoul painless.

Quick Facts
📍 Location: Hongik University Station Exit 3 (directly connected)
🚆 From Incheon Airport: direct AREX train, no transfers
🧳 Staffed counter — not coin lockers, no size limit
💴 From ₩2,500 per item / 4 hours
👥 Groups of 10–40+ items welcome (agencies too)
🗣️ English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean

Why Hongdae is a smart place to store your bags

Hongdae sits at a rare intersection for travelers: it's on the AREX airport line, on Subway Line 2, and in the middle of west Seoul's dense hotel and Airbnb zone. From Incheon International Airport you can ride the AREX straight to Hongik University Station with no transfers, drop your bags, and start your trip the same hour you land. On the way out, it's just as easy to swing back, grab your suitcase, and head to the airport.

The other reason is the kind of storage. Hongdae has coin lockers like every busy station, but they fill up fast, cap out at small sizes, and leave you guessing whether your 28-inch suitcase will fit. A staffed counter doesn't have those problems — you hand the bag over, it gets tagged, and you walk away.

Your first day in Seoul: land, drop, explore

Most hotels in Korea don't allow check-in until mid-afternoon, but international flights often land in the morning. That gap is when a lot of travelers waste their freshest hours hauling luggage around. Instead, take the AREX to Hongik University Station, store your bags at Exit 3, and use the afternoon for what you actually came for — Hongdae's cafes and streetwear shops, a first Korean meal, or a nap-free walk along the Gyeongui Line Forest Park. Collect everything later when your room is ready.

Your last day: check out, keep exploring, then fly

The last day is the same problem in reverse. Checkout is usually 11 a.m.; an evening flight can be eight hours later. Rather than book a late checkout or sit in a lobby, leave your bags with us, spend the day doing last-minute shopping and one more meal, then pick up and head straight to the airport on the AREX. No extra hotel night, no dragging suitcases through Myeongdong.

Storing luggage at KPLANZ — Hongik Univ. Station Exit 3

Our counter is directly connected to Exit 3: from inside the station, use the connected building entrance beside the escalator (Hongik Human Officetel) and follow the KPLANZ signs — you never have to step outside or climb stairs with a suitcase. It's staffed storage, not lockers, so every item is received at the counter, tagged with a number, and logged. You get a claim slip or QR code and collect your bags in minutes when you return.

Because it's staffed, there's no size limit on standard travel items — cabin carry-ons, large checked suitcases, foldable strollers, shopping boxes, and equipment cases are all fine, as long as they fit through the entrance and can be stored safely.

Luggage storage rates (per item)

Size Weekday / 4 hrs Weekend & holiday / 4 hrs Extra hour
S — under 20″₩2,500₩3,500₩1,000
M — 20–23″₩3,500₩5,500₩1,000
L — 23–27″₩5,000₩8,000₩1,000
XL — over 27″₩8,000₩12,000₩1,000

Luggage storage is offered when your total booking is ₩30,000 or more — easy to reach for a group or a few bags over a full day. Pricing is current as of posting; message us to confirm for your dates.

How it works — 3 steps

  1. Reserve a slot. Tell us your date, time window, item count, and (for groups) your group or agency name. We confirm capacity and assign a counter window.
  2. Drop off at Exit 3. Come to the entrance directly connected to Exit 3 and follow the KPLANZ signs. Staff count, tag, and record each item, and you get a claim slip or QR code.
  3. Pick up & go. Return within your booked window, show the slip or QR, and collect your items in minutes.

Staffed counter vs. coin lockers

Station lockers are fine for a small bag and a short errand, but they're a gamble on a travel day. Sizes are limited, the big lockers are usually taken, and a full-size suitcase often won't fit at all. A staffed counter takes any standard suitcase, handles 10+ bags for a group without a second thought, and gives you a real person to come back to. For first-day and last-day logistics — when the bags are biggest and the stakes are highest — staffed storage is the calmer choice.

Great for groups, families, and tour agencies

The counter is built to handle volume: we're comfortable with 10 to 40+ items when booked in advance, and travel agencies or group leaders can reserve a dedicated drop-off and pick-up window. It's a reliable handover point for tour groups arriving early or checking out late, agencies coordinating shopping or free-time blocks around Hongdae, and families who just need one place to regroup between activities. If you're traveling with kids or older parents, you can also sort out a stroller or wheelchair rental in the same visit.

Good to know before you drop off

  • No valuables. For safety, we don't store or take liability for cash, passports, jewelry, high-value electronics, collectibles, or artwork — keep those with you.
  • Some items aren't allowed: perishable food, leaking liquids, and hazardous, flammable, or illegal goods.
  • In-store service only. Luggage storage is drop-off and pick-up at the counter; this particular service doesn't include hotel or airport delivery.
  • Book ahead in peak season. Cherry-blossom spring, autumn foliage, Chuseok, and Lunar New Year weeks get busy — reserving a window guarantees space.

Frequently Asked Questions

At KPLANZ, a staffed luggage counter directly connected to Hongik University Station Exit 3. You hand bags to staff at the counter (not a coin locker), they're tagged, and you collect them with a claim slip or QR code.

Is there luggage storage near Hongik University Station?
Yes — our counter is built into the Exit 3 entrance, so you don't have to leave the station building or carry a suitcase up any stairs to reach it.

From ₩2,500 per item for 4 hours on weekdays, scaling by size up to ₩8,000 for XL suitcases, with weekend and holiday rates slightly higher and extra hours at ₩1,000. Storage is offered when the total booking is ₩30,000 or more.

Can I store my bags on the way from Incheon Airport?
Yes. Take the AREX train directly from Incheon to Hongik University Station — no transfers — and drop your bags at our Exit 3 counter before check-in.

Is there a size limit on luggage?
No size limit for standard travel items. Because it's a staffed counter rather than lockers, large checked suitcases, foldable strollers, shopping boxes, and equipment cases are all accepted, as long as they fit through the entrance.

Yes. We're comfortable with 10 to 40+ items when booked in advance, and agencies or group leaders can reserve a dedicated drop-off and pick-up window.

Do you store passports, cash, or valuables?
No. For safety we don't store or take liability for valuables such as cash, passports, jewelry, or high-value electronics — please keep those with you.

While you're here: other things you can rent at KPLANZ

Because we're the same counter you're already visiting at Exit 3, a lot of travelers pick up the bulky, voltage-sensitive, or fragile things they'd rather not pack — and skip a second errand. Reserve ahead and it's all waiting when you drop your bags.

  • Dyson Airwrap & hair tools. Korea runs on 220V, so US/Japan stylers don't work on an adapter alone — and cordless tools can't fly. Rent the Airwrap, Supersonic, or Airstrait by the day instead.
  • Strollers & baby gear. Strollers, car seats, and travel cribs — KC/R129 safety-certified, so you travel light without dragging a frame through three airports.
  • Foldable wheelchairs & mobility. Same-day pickup, fits a standard taxi trunk — handy for traveling with senior parents or after a mid-trip sprain.
  • Instax cameras & more. Instant photos for the trip, plus the rest of our catalog.

Pack less, care more

A trip to Seoul shouldn't start or end with you babysitting a suitcase. Drop your bags at Hongik University Station Exit 3, spend your first and last hours actually enjoying the city, and pick everything up on your way through. Reserve a storage window or ask about availability by Instagram DM, or see all our traveler services at visit.kplanz.com.

Renting a Stroller in Seoul: 6 Situations Visiting Families Run Into


If you're flying to Seoul with little ones, there's one question that quietly causes more stress than it should: do we bring the stroller, or not? Bring it and you're hauling a folded frame through airports, subway stairs, and hotel lobbies. Leave it behind and you're gambling on tired legs and a long day. The honest answer is that it depends on your trip — and sometimes the situation decides for you.

Here at KPLANZ, right by Hongik University Station, we rent strollers to visiting families every week. After a while you start to notice the same handful of stories repeating. Here are six of them. Maybe one sounds like your trip.

1. Two kids, one stroller

A family arrives with twins — or two kids close in age — and exactly one stroller. It made sense when they packed: surely the older one can walk. By the second afternoon, both children are done, and one parent is carrying a toddler through a crowded market while the other pushes the stroller. They come in for a second one, and suddenly both adults have their hands free again. The lesson families tell us afterward is simple: count the kids, count the strollers. If the numbers don't match, renting the difference on arrival is the easiest fix.

2. "She can walk… until she can't"

This one is almost universal. The child is old enough to walk, so the family confidently leaves the stroller at home. Then comes a full day of palaces, side streets, and stairs, and the little legs give out around lunchtime. What follows is the familiar parent-shuffle of taking turns carrying a sleepy, heavy child. A lightweight rental stroller becomes the backup that saves the rest of the day — and the rest of the trip. Walking age and vacation pace are two different things.

3. The cheap travel stroller that broke

To save space, some families bring an inexpensive umbrella stroller bought just for the trip. It works fine for a few days, then a wheel jams or the frame gives way on uneven pavement — usually at the worst possible moment, far from the hotel. They come to us needing a reliable replacement, fast. A well-maintained rental isn't just more comfortable; with a child in it, it's a safety thing too. Sometimes the "budget" option turns out to be the expensive one.

4. The full-set family

Then there are the families who plan ahead and arrive light on purpose. They book airport pickup, a stroller, and a travel crib all at once. They land, their bags and gear are handled, and by the time they reach the hotel there's already a place for the baby to sleep. No dragging a crib through the terminal, no wrestling a stroller off the baggage carousel. This is the "pack less, care more" version of family travel, and it's the one people tend to repeat on their next trip.

5. Grandparents came along

Multi-generational trips are wonderful, but they change the math. When grandparents join, the pace is gentler and the carrying capacity is lower — nobody wants grandma hoisting a 14-kilo toddler up subway steps. Families in this situation often rent a stroller specifically so the slower, longer sightseeing days stay comfortable for everyone. The stroller isn't really for the child here; it's for the whole group's energy.

6. The traveler who didn't want to drag one across Asia

Some visitors are on a longer, multi-city trip — Tokyo, then Seoul, then somewhere else. They genuinely don't want to lug a stroller through three airports and three hotels. So they skip it entirely and rent locally in each city instead. For their Seoul leg, that's us. It's a smart move for frequent travelers: you get a proper stroller exactly where and when you need it, and nothing extra to fold, check, or lose along the way.

What all six have in common

Different families, same underlying truth: travel days are unpredictable, and the heaviest thing you carry is often the thing you almost left behind. Renting locally gives you flexibility — you bring less, you adapt on the spot, and you're not committed to a decision you made weeks ago while packing. Pack less, care more.

How renting from KPLANZ works

We're located right at Exit 3 of Hongik University Station in Hongdae, so we're easy to reach the moment you arrive in the city. Alongside strollers, we rent baby gear like car seats and travel cribs, plus mobility aids, and we offer airport pickup and luggage storage — so a family can sort out everything in one place instead of five. You can reserve ahead so your stroller is ready when you walk in, or stop by when you realize you need one. Either way, the goal is the same: get you back to enjoying Seoul with your hands free.

So if you're staring at your packing list wondering whether the stroller makes the cut, here's the reassuring part: in Seoul, you don't have to decide everything in advance. Whatever situation your trip throws at you, renting one when you need it is always an option.
