The stairlifts we use for rental are normally nearly new stairlifts, which are current stairlift models which are in good condition. If you prefer to rent a brand-new stairlift, this is also possible, and we will be happy to provide you with a price.

When you rent a stairlift from Essington Mobility, we cover all service, maintenance and repair costs, with the exception of accidental damage.

Reasons to hire a stairlift

There are many reasons why you might consider hiring a stairlift instead of buying one. The decision between buying a stairlift outright and hiring one will often come down to personal circumstances. If a stairlift is required for a short period of time, renting can be a good solution. For some, the outlay of buying a new stairlift outright may be off-putting, and they may prefer the lower initial cost required to rent one instead. For some customers, they like the security of knowing the stairlift is fully maintained by us and there will be no unexpected repair or maintenance costs.
