Straight vs. curved stairs – Curved staircases require a custom rail, which increases manufacturing and fitting costs.
-
New vs. reconditioned – Reconditioned stairlifts are a more budget-friendly option and still come fully tested and warranted.
-
Additional features – Power swivel seats, hinged rails, or outdoor models may slightly increase the overall cost.

Staircase layout – Extra-long stairs or narrow spaces may require modifications.
