Curved Stair Lift Prices – How to Find an Affordable Curved Stair Lift

Curved stair lift prices are generally much higher in comparison to the straight stair lift prices. The price of a straight stair lift is $2,000-$3,000, and the price of a curved stair lift may be as high as $7,000-$15,000. Furthermore, the installation of such a unit is generally much more complex and costly than the installation of a regular straight stair lift. Last but not least, the price of a repair on a curved stair lift is also generally higher.

Unfortunately, Medicaid and insurance often do not cover stair lifts. Furthermore, a used unit (e.g., bought from Craigslist or eBay) is generally also not an option, because curved stair lifts are custom-made to fit the requirements of a particular staircase.

So what can you do to save on the price of a curved stair lift?

Here is a list of available options to aid you:

1. Consider renting a unit instead of buying it. If it’s a temporary disability, you may consider renting a unit rather than purchasing it. Generally, you will need to pay a deposit and 1 month rent, in order to have the unit installed by the rental company. The price of the rental is around $100 per month; however, the prices largely vary depending on the design of your staircase and on a particular rental company. Note that you might also be liable for the damages that may incur to the rented unit.

2. Try to locate a vendor that would allow you to pay in installments over a period of time. Most often you will be able to locate a vendor that offers various financing options. In fact, you can even take a small loan for purchasing such a unit, similar to a regular auto loan.

3. Look closely into various models and brands. Some of the well-known manufacturers have higher prices due to wide recognition of their brand; however, there are many less-known companies that offer quality units at affordable prices.

Thus, even though curved stair lift prices are generally high, there are some available options that may help you locating an affordable curved stair lift.
