How Much Does A Stair Lift Cost?

The cost of a stair lift is highly individualized, depending on several key factors. One of the most significant elements in pricing is the layout of your stairs. Since the rails of a stair lift must be custom-made to fit your specific staircase and meet your unique needs, the shape (whether straight or curved) and length of your stairs play a crucial role in determining the final price. Additionally, the number of floors you need the stair lift to cover will impact the cost.

In general, more complex and longer rail systems result in higher costs. For instance, a stair lift designed for a curved staircase with multiple steps will be more expensive than one for a short, straight staircase. The costs for our various Access Stairlifts models also vary depending on these factors. Special design requests or custom features can further increase the overall price.

When considering a stair lift, understanding these variables can help you make an informed decision that suits both your mobility needs and budget.

    These Factors Influence The Stair Lift Costs

    • Length of the stairs: Some stair lifts and wheelchair lifts differ in the height they can travel. The length of your stairs or the number of floors to be overcome plays an essential role here. A longer staircase also requires a longer rail system and means more effort during installation.
    • Staircase layout: The rail system is tailored to the exact layout of your stairs. The cost of the stair lift is therefore also influenced by whether the staircase is straight, curved or has a landing.
    • Indoor or outdoor installation: Some models are designed specifically for indoor use, while other systems are also suitable as an outdoor lift
    • Selected service packages: We are available to help you at any time, from consultation and planning to installation and maintenance of your stair lift. If you opt for an additional maintenance contract, we will regularly check that your lift is working properly and replace worn parts.

    Good to know: The costs for installation and maintaince are already included in the stair lift price.

    Alternative To Buying: Rent A Stair Lift And Reduce Costs

    Renting or leasing a stair lift is a financially attractive alternative to buying one , as the costs are significantly reduced. Instead of a one-off purchase price, when renting a stair lift you only pay fixed monthly installments (from €98) and a small down payment.
    This solution is particularly ideal if you only need the chair lift for a certain period of time , for example after an operation with temporary mobility restrictions. Just as with buying a lift, renting also includes professional installation and, if required, appropriate services in the all-round carefree package - for safe and trouble-free use at all times.

    The option to Rent a stairlift is available to customers within 50KM of Dublin City Centre.

    FAQ About The Costs Of A Stair Lift

    Since stair lifts are custom-made, the cost is calculated based on individual requirements. The final price is primarily influenced by the stair lift model, as well as the length and shape of your staircase.  We offer free, transparent, and no-obligation consultations to help you explore your options.

    Generally, the cost of a chair lift is significantly lower than that of a platform lift or lifting platform. Key factors in determining the price include not only the length and configuration of the stairs but also the installation location. Outdoor chair lifts typically cost more than those installed indoors on the same type of staircase. Lifting platforms tend to be the most expensive option but are essential for individuals who rely on a wheelchair.

Eligibility is based on household income, and applicants must provide medical evidence of need. This financial aid helps improve accessibility and enhance quality of life.
