Disadvantages of Renting

- Cork Stairlifts have a range of top quality stairlifts that will serve you faithfully for 10 years or more, so if you need a long-term mobility solution, renting is not the best option.
- You don’t own your stairlift when you rent it. You only lease it temporarily.
- Purchasing a good quality reconditioned stairlift is a cheaper and better option than renting in most instances.
- People’s mobility needs change. Over time our mobility deteriorates so purchasing is a safer long-term solution to address our changing mobility needs.
