Can I Rent a Stairlift for a Short-Term Period?
If you or a loved one is facing short-term mobility challenges — such as recovering from surgery, hosting a relative, or adapting during an injury — renting a stairlift could be the ideal solution. At AMS Group, we offer flexible, affordable short-term stairlift rental plans that make it easy to stay safe and mobile at home without committing to a permanent installation.
Why Choose Short-Term Stairlift Rental?
Whether you need it for a few weeks or a few months, renting a stairlift gives you all the benefits of a permanent solution without the upfront cost or long-term responsibility. Here are some of the top reasons people choose to rent:
- Post-operative recovery: Safely navigate stairs after knee, hip, or back surgery.
- Visiting guests: Temporarily accommodate elderly or disabled relatives.
- Home adjustments: Stay mobile during home adaptations or renovations.
- Trial run: Unsure if you need a stairlift permanently? Try before you buy.
Our rental stairlifts are installed quickly, come fully serviced, and include 24/7 support — just like our long-term options. You can read more about stairlift rental here »
How Quickly Can a Stairlift Be Installed?
Speed is often a concern when you need a stairlift urgently. That’s why we aim to complete most short-term installations within 48 hours of your free home survey.
One of our engineers will visit your property to measure your staircase and recommend the best model for your needs. Straight staircases can often be fitted with next-day availability, while curved installations may take slightly longer depending on availability.

How Much Does it Cost?
Our short-term stairlift rentals start from just £10 per week, with an initial installation cost depending on the model and staircase type. All servicing, maintenance, and removal are included in the price — so there are no surprise bills or repair costs during your rental period.
What If I Need the Stairlift for Longer?
No problem — you can extend your rental at any time. If your needs change and you decide a stairlift is right for the long term, we can help you explore a refurbished stairlift solution to keep costs down. Find out about refurbished stairlifts here »
