Renting a stairlift - benefits for our customers

Many people don’t realise they have the option to rent a stairlift. This can be a more convenient choice than buying one, especially if it is only needed for a short amount of time.

It is an ideal option if you are recovering from an illness or operation which temporarily prevents you getting up and down the stairs.

We recently fitted a stairlift for Mr Smith in Manchester who needed help after an operation left him unable to climb the stairs.

Home or care home?

“I could manage before the operation, but found when I got back home that I didn’t have the confidence to get up the stairs without help., says Mr Smith.

“My son looked on-line and saw the Rental Stairlifts website, and we gave them a ring. We needed someone to come round as quickly as possible as I was basically living upstairs so I could use the bathroom, with my son and daughter coming round to make my meals and tidy up.

“We were pleased to find out that we could get free maintenance cover, 24hr call out, and removal when we didn’t need the stairlift any longer, said Mr Smith. I did worry about the responsibility of something going wrong, and if I recover enough to get up the stairs again, they’ll take it away.”

All our rental stairlifts come with an on-going warranty, which is completely free and starts from the day of installation. It covers you for parts, labour, break-downs and call outs.

You won’t have to worry about servicing or costs as we take care of that, and when you don't need it any more we’ll come and remove it. So it's an excellent option for customers who don't want the worry and expense of the maintenance and servicing costs of a stairlift.

Having a rental stairlift installed is also a good option if you have relatives or guests who cannot use stairs if the person who requires the stairlift is only staying at your home for a short time.

If you are unsure whether installing a stairlift in your home is the right option for you, stairlift rental is a good way to try one out before buying one. If you are worried about committing yourself financially, renting is an ideal way to test a stairlift in your home for a far lower price.

Mrs Shaw in Mancheter

Mrs Shaw was about to be discharged from hospital after an operation on her leg but needed a stairlift so that she could get up the stairs in her home in Manchester.

Rental Stairlifts were able to liaise with the hospital staff and be involved in an assessment to make sure they installed the right stairlift.

“I was so relieved to be able to come home,” said Mrs Shaw. “It was getting pretty difficult to get up the stairs before my operation, so it was the right time. I liked the idea of renting the stairlift as it was flexible.”

We can liaise with health professionals such as occupational therapists and physiotherapists to ensure you are able to return to your own home safely. You may need a particular type of stairlift, depending on your individual mobility needs. Additional features can also modify your stairlift to suit your needs.

Many people find that our rental package is an excellent worry-free, economical solution. We offer expert installation, full warranty, a fantastic after care package, express delivery, free maintenance cover, 24hr call out and removal when the stairlift is no longer required . And we also offer the option to purchase your rental stairlift at any time if you decide that would be the best choice for you.

Mrs Sutton in Oldham

Mrs Sutton had a stairlift installed in her home in Oldham, Greater Manchester, a few years ago. Unfortunately the stairlift needed quite a few repairs over the last couple of years and she began to wonder if there was a more economical and hassle free way of having a stairlift installed.

A friend recommended Rental Stairlifts and she contacted us for advice and a free no obligation quote. We explained that renting a stairlift is a great option for customers who don't want the worry and extra expense of the maintenance and servicing costs of a stairlift. With our easy payment terms and flexibility, you can hire the stairlift for the time you need it. And we offer fixed stairlift rental payments for life.

Mrs Sutton agreed that renting a stairlift would be the best solution for her. She was dependent on the stairlift now after relying on it for many years, and was relieved to be rid of maintenance costs and worries.

“I was worried that the recent repairs meant it wouldn’t be economical to have the stairlift in the future, so I’m really glad I now don’t need to worry about that at all”, said Mrs Sutton.

Ultimately, whether you should rent a stairlift or buy a stairlift will depend on your personal circumstances.
