Stairlift Rental
Mobility problems can change how you use your home. If you’re recovering from an injury, living with a temporary condition or you don’t want to commit to buying, stairlift rental gives you a simple way to use your stairs again.
It’s a good option if you:
- Only need help with the stairs for a short time
- Want to try a stairlift before you decide to buy
- Need a cost conscious choice for a family member
So you get support when you need it, without a long commitment.
Why choose stairlift rental?
With stairlift rental, you can reach every level of your home without paying the full cost of a new stairlift upfront. You spread the cost over the rental period instead.
Rental stairlifts:
- Let you pay for the time you actually use the stairlift
- Suit temporary mobility needs, such as after surgery or an accident
- Help you find out if a stairlift feels right for you before you buy
At the end of the rental, you can usually extend the agreement, talk to us about buying a stairlift or arrange for us to take it out.
How stairlift rental works
We keep the stairlift rental process straightforward.
We’ll usually:

- Suggest a suitable straight stairlift rental option
- Agree an installation date that works for you

You then pay an agreed rental amount for as long as you keep the stairlift, in line with the terms of your rental agreement.
