Everyone knows you can rent a car in Seoul. But a 27-inch portable smart screen for your Airbnb? A 2-in-1 rollator-wheelchair for your parents? A 150-liter folding wagon for your Han River picnic? These aren’t things most travelers think to search for — which is exactly why they’re the items that change trips.
After more than a decade helping travelers from dozens of countries at our shop near Hongdae Station, we’ve watched Seoul’s rental ecosystem evolve into something genuinely unique. Items that would cost a fortune to ship, take up half a suitcase, or get damaged in transit can be picked up here in minutes and returned just as easily.
This is a complete tour of what’s available — and, more importantly, when you’ll actually need it.
Why renting in Seoul has become a smart traveler’s secret
Airline baggage fees keep climbing in 2026. Carry-on restrictions are stricter than ever. And the reality is, most of the items that would ruin your packing are only used for a few hours of your trip — the stroller for a single palace visit, the hair styler for a dinner, the wheelchair for the days your parents tire.
Renting flips that equation. You land light, pick up exactly what you need, and hand it back before your flight home. You also skip the other quiet headaches: voltage incompatibility (Korea runs 220V, not all travel gear handles it), airline damage, and the constant anxiety of lost luggage.
Here’s the full tour, organized by category — with a focus on the items most travelers had no idea existed as a rental option.
Beauty and styling — travel light, look sharp
Premium hair tools are the worst category to fly with. Voltage converters that don’t quite work. Fragile packaging. Half a suitcase gone. All three Dyson models rented at KPLANZ run natively on Korea’s 220V — no adapter drama, no voltage concerns, just plug in and style.
Dyson Airstrait Straightener
The straightener that uses air, not heat plates — meaning no scorched ends after 10 days of Seoul humidity. Ideal if you arrived with wet hair from your hotel shower and have 30 minutes before a dinner reservation in Seongsu. It straightens wet hair directly, which is genuinely unusual for a tool of this caliber. ₩10,000/day
Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer
The Supersonic Nural reads your scalp temperature and adjusts automatically — meaning you can speed-dry without scorching your roots. For travelers doing early morning tours (Gyeongbokgung guard-changing ceremony at 10 AM, Bukchon at sunrise), this is the dryer that makes “up and out in 20 minutes” actually possible. ₩10,000/day
Dyson Airwrap Complete Long
Long-barrel styling for long hair, without heat damage. Travelers renting this tend to fall into two camps: wedding guests who didn’t want to risk their own unit on an international flight, and K-Pop fans who want concert-ready curls without a salon appointment. Includes 30mm and 40mm barrels plus multiple brush attachments. ₩11,000/day
For travelers with babies — skip the airline drama
Strollers and car seats are the worst things to fly with. Airlines charge for them, damage them, lose them — and you still have to drag them through the terminal. Landing light and picking up in Seoul is almost always the smarter move, especially for stays of a week or more.
Car seats — two options for different needs
SoonSung Billy Portable Car Seat — Lightweight (4 kg), foldable, KC-certified for 9–25 kg (roughly 12 months to 7 years). ISOFIX and seat belt compatible, forward-facing. Perfect for taxi rides, airport transfers, and rental cars. ₩10,000/day
Joie Steadi R129 Convertible — R129 i-Size certified, rear-facing and forward-facing convertible, with a detachable newborn insert. Suitable from newborn to around 4 years. Seat belt installation only (no ISOFIX), which makes it the better choice for taxis without ISOFIX mounts. ₩10,000/day
The quick decision guide: if your child is a toddler and you’re mostly taking taxis around the city, the SoonSung Billy is lighter and faster to fold. If you’re traveling with a newborn or need rear-facing capability, go with the Joie Steadi.
Strollers — compact or full-feature
RYAN Prime Lite Compact Stroller — 6.3 kg, folds to 48×30×56 cm, suitable from newborn to 36 months. The one you grab when you’re city-hopping and want something that fits in a café corner. ₩15,000/day
Pomporra N2 Full-Feature Stroller — 8.6 kg, reclines fully (170°) for newborn use, reversible handle so baby can face you or the world. Large canopy, one-hand folding, generous under-seat basket. The workhorse choice for longer stays or rainy days. ₩26,000/day
One family we helped last year landed at Incheon only to discover their stroller had gone missing somewhere between Busan and their transfer. They rented a compact stroller from us the same afternoon, kept their plans intact, and never looked back. That’s the real value — not just saving suitcase space, but saving the trip.
Upang UV Bottle Sterilizer
UV-C LED sterilization for bottles, pacifiers, tableware, and toys. For parents staying in Airbnbs without a dishwasher, this is the difference between scrambling for boiling water at midnight and pressing one button. Dry, sterilize, auto, and storage modes. ₩15,000/day
BabyBjörn Travel Cot Light
A Swedish-made travel crib that sets up in under a minute, weighs 6 kg, and folds to 49×60×14 cm. Comes with a baby-friendly mattress. If your hotel charges extra for a cot — or your Airbnb doesn’t offer one — this rental often costs less than three nights of hotel crib fees. ₩15,000/day
Mobility support — make Seoul accessible for everyone
Seoul looks flat on a map but walks like a city of hills. Palace courtyards, underground subway transfers, Bukchon’s cobbled lanes, Insadong’s narrow alleys — they’re all beautiful and all demanding. A mobility rental can be the difference between a parent retreating to the hotel by 2 PM and staying with you until dinner.
Folding manual wheelchair — the essential choice
A standard folding manual wheelchair (11 kg, max load 100 kg). The most affordable option and the one most travelers actually need. Folds to 25×75×102 cm for taxi trunks, comes with hand brakes and comfortable armrests. ₩10,000/day
Keeve KV-R2 Rollator — for active seniors
A 4-wheel rollator with a seat and backrest — meaning your parents can walk confidently through Gyeongbokgung and sit down whenever they need a break. Korean-made, 7.5 kg, adjustable handle height, foldable. The active-senior answer for travelers who want support without a full wheelchair. ₩21,000/day
Rollz Motion 2 — the 2-in-1 that changes trips
This is the item most travelers didn’t know existed: a Dutch-made hybrid that converts between a rollator and a wheelchair in seconds. Walk with it through Namsan park, then switch to wheelchair mode when the climb to N Seoul Tower gets steep. The difference between a parent enjoying the whole day and a parent calling it quits at lunch. ₩38,000/day
Tech and comfort — the items that surprise everyone
This is the category where travelers say “wait, you can rent that?” — and then wonder how they ever traveled without these. The following items are especially popular with repeat visitors, long-stay travelers, and concert-goers.
LG StanbyME Go — a 27-inch screen in a suitcase
A 27-inch Full HD portable smart screen housed inside an integrated hard case. webOS streaming, Dolby Atmos 4-channel audio, a 3-hour battery, Apple AirPlay 2. Watch a movie on your Airbnb balcony. Stream the Oscars from a guesthouse in Bukchon. Run a workation from Seongsu. It flips between landscape, portrait, and tabletop modes. Military-grade case durability, 12.7 kg total. ₩35,000/day
This is the rental that makes the longest-staying travelers — workation folks, families on 10-day trips, couples doing month-long Seoul stays — genuinely happy.
Instax Mini EVO — memories you can hold
A hybrid instant camera with 10 lens effects × 10 film effects, Bluetooth phone printing, and built-in storage for about 45 digital shots. For hanbok photo sessions in Bukchon, couple trips, proposal trips, and Z-gen travel content, nothing replaces a physical photo you can hand to someone 10 minutes later. Film sold separately. ₩11,000/day
Zespa and Relaxery massagers — recovery after 20,000 steps
Zespa ZP8306 Full-Body Massager covers shoulders, back, waist, and legs with 3D deep-tissue gears and heating. ₩22,000/day
Relaxery ING-01 Foot & Calf Massager handles soles to calves with 3D rollers and multiple intensity settings. ₩14,000/day
If you’ve ever finished a 20,000-step Seoul day and dragged yourself to a massage shop only to find a two-hour wait, you already understand why these exist as rentals. For multi-day stays in Airbnbs, these turn your living room into a recovery studio.
PureLight XD — UV sterilization on the go
A compact (200 g) portable UV-C LED sterilizer for bedding, furniture, and household items. The kind of thing you don’t think about until you’re in an Airbnb wondering when the sheets were last replaced. One-touch operation, travel pouch included. ₩9,000/day
Philips STH-1010/10 Handheld Garment Steamer
Heats in 30–35 seconds, steams vertically (no ironing board), kills 99.9% of bacteria. For the business meeting, the wedding reception, the dinner reservation at a Michelin-starred Cheongdam spot — or simply for arriving at a family gathering in a freshly-steamed shirt instead of a wrinkled one. ₩5,000/day
60,000mAh Power Bank — for K-Pop concerts and Han River days
This is the rental K-Pop fans thank us for most often. KSPO Dome, Gocheok Sky Dome, Olympic Park concert queues routinely start 6 hours before showtime. Add pre-show food lines, light-stick syncing, and three hours of filming, and your phone battery is dead by the encore. A 60,000mAh power bank charges a phone about 10 times, handles laptops and tablets, and supports fast charging up to 65W. Also invaluable for Han River all-day trips and Namsan hikes. ₩7,000/day
Folding Camping Wagon — the unexpected MVP
150-liter capacity, water-resistant 600D Oxford fabric, folds to 68.5×50×13 cm, weighs 6.3 kg. Han River picnic season (May, June, September, October), this wagon makes the difference between two exhausting trips from the convenience store and one triumphant pull. Works for Namsan camping runs, large family shopping hauls at Costco, and post-Olive Young shopping sprees. ₩2,000/day
At two dollars a day, it’s the single highest-delight-per-won rental in the shop.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the most surprising item people rent in Seoul?
The LG StanbyME Go portable 27-inch smart screen tops the “I had no idea you could rent that” list, followed closely by the Rollz Motion 2 (a 2-in-1 rollator-wheelchair) and the 60,000mAh power bank that K-Pop concert-goers rely on.
Can I rent items specifically for a K-Pop concert trip?
Yes. The most popular combinations for concert travelers are a 60,000mAh power bank (for long venue queues and show filming), a Dyson Airwrap (for concert-day styling), and an Instax Mini EVO (for venue photos). All can be rented for the duration of your trip with one pickup.
