What Is A Rental Stairlift?
A rental stairlift is a stairlift that you don’t buy outright. Instead, you pay a monthly fee for however long you own the stairlift. This can work out cheaper than just buying a stairlift, especially if you only plan on using it for a short time or aren’t sure if you even need a stairlift.
A rental stairlift is no different than any other stairlift we sell here at Senior Stairlifts. They still function exactly the same and have the same sleek innovative designs that we use for our other stairlifts.
All of our stairlifts are designed to help you with a smooth easy ride up and down the stairs. They are sleek and slim so that they don’t obstruct the stairway and our seats are secure and comfortable to make your use of the stairlift as enjoyable as possible.
Why Would I Need To Rent A Stairlift?
People rent stairlifts for many different reasons, and it can be an excellent solution depending on your situation. If you’re considering a stairlift but aren’t entirely sure whether you’ll use it regularly, renting allows you to test it out before committing to a purchase. You can try living with a stairlift for a few months to see if it truly enhances your mobility and comfort at home.
Some individuals may find that they don’t use the stairlift as much as they expect to, making rental a cost-effective way to explore their options without the full expense of ownership. On the other hand, many people quickly realise that a stairlift becomes an essential part of their daily routine, providing convenience, independence, and safety on the stairs. In either case, our team is always available to support you-whether that means extending your rental period, discussing the option to purchase, or exploring other mobility solutions tailored to your needs.
Renting a stairlift can also be incredibly helpful in temporary situations. If you or a loved one is recovering from surgery, an injury, or an illness that makes navigating stairs difficult, a rental stairlift can provide short-term assistance without a long-term commitment. Once your mobility improves, the stairlift can simply be removed, making it a flexible and hassle-free option.
No matter your reason for considering stairlift rental, we’re here to help you make the best decision for your needs.
How Do I Rent A Stairlift?
With Senior Stairlifts, renting a stairlift is easy. First, you need to enquire either on the phone or through our website. Then a member of our team will help you decide which stairlift is right for you. They will ask questions and get to know you so they can help you chose the stairlift that is right for you and your needs.
An engineer will come and do a survey of your home and assess the staircase where you want the stairlift fitted and maybe do some measurements so we can ensure the stairlift fits perfectly in your home.
Once everything is approved we can fit your stairlift the very next day. We understand that you are letting us into our home and we treat everything with the utmost respect and clean up so your home is exactly how we found it. You can read our covid 19 statement.
There is no set time for how long you can have your rented stairlift. You simply pay an upfront fee to cover the price of the instalment and the first 6 months of rent. After that you just pay once a month for however many months you own the stairlift.
Are There Alternatives To Renting ?
If you find that you want to continue using a stairlift but don’t want to pay full price for a brand-new one, purchasing a reconditioned stairlift can be a great alternative. A reconditioned stairlift is a previously owned stairlift that has been carefully restored by us, to full working condition. Offering you the same convenience and safety as a new model but at a more affordable price.
At Senior Stairlifts, every reconditioned stairlift undergoes a rigorous inspection and refurbishment process before being resold. Our team of experienced stairlift engineers, thoroughly examines each unit, replacing any worn or faulty components to ensure optimal performance and reliability. We clean, test, and certify every reconditioned stairlift to make sure it meets our high standards, so you can have peace of mind knowing that you’re receiving a high quality product.
Choosing a reconditioned stairlift allows you to enjoy the benefits of stairlift ownership while saving money compared to purchasing a brand-new model. It’s an excellent option for those who need a long term mobility solution but are working within a budget. Plus, reconditioned stairlifts come with the same expert installation and support as our new and rental models, ensuring that your stairlift is safely fitted and fully functional.
Another alternative is exploring financing options.
Ultimately, whether you choose to rent, buy reconditioned, or finance a stairlift purchase, our team is here to help you find the best solution for your needs.
Financing Options
If you’re interested in owning a stairlift but concerned about upfront costs, financing can help spread the payments over time, making it easier to manage within your budget.

This means if you want to go for new instead of reconditioned, or even add some extras. You can without worrying about the price.
