Why rent rather than buy?

Renting suits anyone who needs a stairlift for weeks or months rather than years. You get the same lift, the same safety, and the same local team — without paying upfront for something you may not need long term.

  • Low upfront cost

    Straight rental £500 all-in for install, removal, maintenance and first month. Curved from £2,000 — no big lump sum needed.

  • Maintenance included

    All servicing, call-outs and parts are covered for the whole rental period.

  • Fitted in 24–48 hours

    Straight stairlifts are surveyed and fitted fast — usually inside two working days.

  • 24-hour support

    If anything goes wrong, our local team is on the end of the phone day or night.

  • Cancel any time

    One-month minimum, then rolling. Tell us when you're done and we'll remove it.

  • Rent-to-own option

    Decide to keep it? Your rental payments can be credited toward buying the lift.

When renting makes sense

As a rough rule, if you need the stairlift for less than seven months, renting will work out cheaper than buying new. We offer both straight and curved rentals — get in touch for a tailored quote.

  • Recovering from surgery or injury

    Hip or knee replacement, stroke recovery, a fracture — anywhere you need stairs solved for a few weeks or months.

  • Home renovations

    A bedroom or downstairs bathroom going in? Rent for the build, return it when the work is done.

  • Temporary care at home

    Hosting a parent or relative after a hospital discharge — get them safely upstairs without a permanent install.

  • Trying before you buy

    Not sure a stairlift is the right call? Hire one, live with it, then decide on buying new or reconditioned.

Rent vs buy — at a glance

If you already know you need a stairlift for the long haul, buying is almost always better value. If you're not sure, rent first.

Best if you… Option Indicative cost
Need it for a few weeks or months Rental (straight) £500 inc. first month, then £50/mo
Curved staircase, short-term need Rental (curved) From £2,000, then £80/mo
Want a long-term solution, tight budget Reconditioned stairlift from £995 £995 fitted
Have a straight staircase and want new Straight stairlift £1,995 fitted
Have a curved or turning staircase Curved stairlift £2,995 fitted

As a guide, straight rental works out more expensive than buying new after about seven months.

Frequently asked

Stairlift rental questions

What are the stairlift rental prices?

Our stairlift rental prices are fixed. Straight stairlifts cost £500 upfront, which includes installation, removal, maintenance and your first month — then £50 a month. Curved stairlift rentals start from £2,000 (often £2,000–£2,200 including six months' rent) — then £80 a month. All servicing, repairs and 24-hour support are included with no hidden extras.

How much does it cost to rent a stairlift?

Straight stairlifts are £500 including installation, removal, maintenance and your first month — then £50 a month. Curved rentals start from £2,000 (we sometimes do a deal at £2,000–£2,200 including six months' rent) — then £80 a month. Servicing and 24-hour support are included.

How quickly can it be fitted?

Straight stairlifts are normally fitted within 24–48 hours of your survey. Curved rentals take longer because the rail is bespoke — call us and we'll give you a realistic timescale.

Is there a minimum rental period?

Yes — one month minimum, then rolling. After that, you can give notice whenever you no longer need it and we'll collect.

Can I buy the stairlift if I decide to keep it?

Yes. We can convert your rental into a purchase, and credit some of your rental payments toward the cost.

What happens if it breaks down?

Call our 24-hour helpline. An engineer will come out to repair it — parts, labour and call-outs are all included in your rental.

Does it work in a power cut?

Yes. Rental stairlifts run on rechargeable batteries, so they keep working when the mains is off.

Who is stairlift rental best for?

Short-term needs — post-surgery recovery, palliative care or trial use before buying. For longer than 6 months, buying a reconditioned stairlift from £995 is usually cheaper.
