Hire-to-Buy
Changed your mind and want to keep it? The hire fees and cleaning fee you've already paid come off the purchase price of the same equipment — only the admin fee and freight aren't included, since once you own it there's no cleaning or return for us to do. Just let us know before you return it and we'll send a Hire-to-Buy invoice for the balance.
Cleaning & infection control
Every hire item is professionally cleaned and hospital-grade disinfected between customers. It's one of the reasons we limit hire to wheelchairs and walkers — equipment we can properly sanitise for the next person.
