FAQ

Is renting better than buying?

For short-term use, renting is usually better because you avoid paying full price for something you will only need briefly. For long-term use, buying or applying for funding often makes more sense. Our team can help you compare the costs.

Can I rent while waiting for AADL?

Yes, but be aware AADL may not reimburse short-term rental costs for certain categories. For example, AADL does not reimburse rental charges for temporary short-term use of large bathing and toileting aids, so confirm before you assume it will be covered.
