The answer is yes and no, it depends on your circumstances, if are you looking for a short term mobility solution, then yes a rental stairlift can be far more economical and may be the better option.
In some cases companies will rent a stairlift when an employee is recovering from an accident and need to temporarily provide access for staff or visitors that have mobility issues.
In this instance it is usually buildings where there is no lift, hiring a stairlift is a great solution to help all are able to move around the building freely.

If you think that your mobility issues will last longer than 7 months, and choose the cheapest basic reconditioned stairlift then it may be better value to have one installed. Our basic reconditioned straight stairlifts start from £595. However, if you want a more modern stairlift, renting for up to a year + may work out better value.
