Rental Stairlifts
If you only need a stairlift for a short period of time or would like the comfort of an enhanced service package for your stairlift, yet affordability is high on the agenda, then having a rental stairlift could be the right answer.
What is a Rental Stairlift?
Stairlifts are simply installed and removed which allows the option of a stairlift to be a short or long-term solution. Should you only need a stairlift for a short period of time, then a rental stairlift could be the right answer.
No matter whether the stairlift is needed for a relative or friend who is staying over for a short period or it’s needed to assist with the recovery from accident or illness, a rental stairlift could financially be right whilst still meeting the user’s needs. A rental stairlift can still meet the users needs offering features such as a powered swivel seat yet be a fraction of the cost.
It’s common for family members to help get a loved one home from hospital as soon as possible and may only need a stairlift for a few weeks or months until they have recovered or additional adaptations or care solutions are considered. If a financial outlay is proving difficult but the need for a stairlift is increasing, then a rental stairlift can be beneficial, offering the comfort of no additional repair costs in the future for a fixed monthly cost.
What are the benefits?
Not everyone needs a stairlift forever, occasionally a stairlift can be a great solution to a short-term issue. No matter the situation, if it’s foreseen that a stairlift may not be needed long term, then a rental stairlift could be a very affordable option, often cheaper than a reconditioned or new stairlift with guaranteed cover whilst the stairlift is installed and a guaranteed removal when you no longer require it.
If the budget is tight and it’s a struggle to outlay a larger amount, then a rental stairlift could be the answer. Once the initial installation cost has been paid, a small monthly fee will allow you to have all the benefits of a stairlift and having the comforting knowledge that should the stairlift need attention, there aren’t any hidden additional bills.
- Reduced risk of a fall in the home.
- Powered features available for ease of use.
- Great value for money, no moving costs.
- Great for short or long-term situations.
- Independence in your much-loved home.
- No major structural alterations.
What is the cost?
A stairlift rental is the cheapest way to get a stairlift installed, dependent on the circumstances involved, it may not always be the most cost effective in the long term.
A rental option will incur a one-off initial cost which will include the cost of installation and usually the cost of removal when the stairlift is no longer needed. Once the initial fee is paid, there is then a set monthly recurring fee which covers the cost of the stairlift itself. If you require a stairlift with additional features the added costs will be taken in to consideration within the monthly fee. The stairlift itself will be maintained throughout the rental term offering the comfort of no future costly bills and the knowledge you will always have someone to call should you have a problem with it.
Although the main reason for considering a rental stairlift is for short term requirements, it can occasionally be the best way to afford a stairlift without having to outlay a large amount of money and of course the knowledge of no excessive repair costs.
Generally, if you foresee a need for the stairlift for more than 6 months, an outright purchase is often a better option.
