Renting a stairlift

Rent a quality stairlift from £80 per month with no hidden costs. Get fast installation, full maintenance, and easy removal.

Age Uk Curved Stairlift

A question we often get asked is: can you rent an Age UK Trading stairlift?

We’re pleased to offer rental for two stairlifts – our 1100 straight stairlift and our 4000 curved stairlift.

An upfront payment is required for each, which covers both installation and the first six months of rental. A monthly payment starts from month seven. The upfront payment can be from around £1300 for a straight stairlift and around £3,000 for a curved stairlift.

Why should you rent a stairlift?

Renting a stairlift is the ideal solution for short-term mobility needs. Maximum recommended length of time for it to be cost effective is 18 months or less.

With Age UK Trading stairlift rental, you can:

  • Stay mobile at home while you recover or adjust to temporary mobility changes
  • Enjoy smaller upfront costs compared to buying a stairlift outright
  • Have flexibility with rental periods designed for short-term use
  • Benefit from expert support, including installation, servicing and maintenance

Our stairlift rental service is designed to make life easier when you need it most, giving you peace of mind and the freedom to move around your home safely.

Which stairlifts can I rent?

You will need a different type of stairlift depending on whether your staircase is straight, or includes bends, turns or landings that require a curved stairlift rail. We have two stairlift models available to rent.

The 1100 straight stairlift is available to rent and offers the slimmest track on the market. The 1100 is compact and features continuous charging. It uses patented technology, so there is no grease or oil on the stairlift rail. This makes it easy to keep clean.

When it comes to curved stairlift rental, we offer the 4000 curved stairlift. This model is a modern and versatile solution for curved and spiral staircases. The stairlift is flexible and easy to use. It can go around 90- and 180-degree bends. It also includes a manual swivel seat.

FAQs about stairlift rentals

If you are looking for stairlifts to hire or have been searching online for “stairlift hire near me”, relax in knowing that Handicare, the manufacturer of all our stairlifts, supplies stairlifts across the UK. With our nationwide service, you will easily find stairlifts to rent; get in touch and speak to one of Handicare’s experts.

Renting a stairlift is a good choice if you need it for a short time – typically up to 18 months. The monthly cost makes sense for short-term use, but it may not be cost-effective in the long term. If you are in recovery or need one for visitors, it is best to consider renting a stairlift.

After six months, you can end your rental agreement at any time. We can remove your stairlift before this if you wish. However, we cannot offer any refund for the first six month contract period.

Rental stairlifts don’t take long to install after you make your purchase. Straight stairlifts usually take two to five days to arrive. Curved stairlifts can take an average of 10 working days from the time your order is placed. When you enquire with us, the Handicare team will be able to confirm a more precise timeframe for stairlift installation.

94% of customers do not pay VAT on their orders. If you, or the person you are buying the stairlift for, has a condition that requires regular medication or is registered disabled, you may be eligible for VAT exemption. Please speak to one of Handicare’s team members to find out more.

When you rent a stairlift, it remains the property of Handicare, the manufacturer. This means all regular servicing and maintenance are included. If you are serious about renting stairlifts, you can learn more on our stairlift servicing and support page.
