Can I Pay for Mobility Aids in Instalments in the UAE?

Yes, you can. At Dubai Mobility, installment plans are available when you buy mobility aids such as wheelchairs, mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs. For stairlifts, there are flexible payment options that let you spread the cost. The plan is set up with the team at the point of purchase, so it’s worth asking before you pay.

The website doesn’t list fixed installments or the number of payments. That’s something the team confirms for the product you choose. If you’re still deciding, the mobility scooter range and the wheelchair range show listed prices. Those prices are a good starting point for the conversation.

Which Mobility Aids Can You Pay for in Instalments?

Several product pages mention flexible payment and instalment plans. They cover a wide price range, from everyday wheelchairs to outdoor scooters. A few examples, with their listed prices where one is shown:

Mobility aid	Example	Listed price	Payment wording on the page
Manual wheelchair	Explorer Standard Wheelchair	AED 1,800	Flexible instalment payment options
Mobility scooter	Equinox Grande	AED 22,990	Instalment plans available, ask the team
Electric wheelchair	Whizzi Fold	Ask the team	Instalment plans at point of purchase
Stairlift	ICON UP.Lift range	Ask the team	Flexible payment options to spread the cost

The wording differs from page to page, so check with the team for the exact item you want. If a page doesn’t mention instalments, it’s still worth asking before you rule it out.

What You're Paying For: A Closer Look at Four Mobility Aids

It’s easier to judge an instalment plan when you know what the product gives you. Here are the four examples from the table, with details from their product pages. Use them as a guide, then ask the team about the model that fits your needs.

Explorer Standard Wheelchair

This manual wheelchair is made for home use, travel and getting out and about. It weighs 16.2 kg and takes users up to 120 kg. The steel frame folds to 28.5 cm wide without tools, and it folds from either side. The seat is 43 cm wide, and the armrests flip up. A safety belt is included, and the footrests are detachable. It has 24-inch rear wheels with push rims and 8-inch front wheels.

Equinox Grande Mobility Scooter

The Equinox Grande is a heavy-duty, all-terrain scooter, suited to heavier adults who spend time outdoors. It takes users up to 210 kg and covers up to 50 km on a charge. Range depends on weight, terrain, speed and temperature. It reaches 15 km/h on 13-inch puncture-proof tyres, with adjustable suspension front and rear.

It weighs 135 kg and doesn’t come apart like lighter travel scooters. It also isn’t designed for deep sand, mud or extreme off-road use. Full LED lighting, a seat belt, key ignition and a front storage basket come as standard.

Whizzi Fold Electric Wheelchair

The Whizzi Fold is a compact electric wheelchair made for travel and everyday use. It weighs 25 kg, takes users up to 100 kg and folds in a single motion without tools. It comes with a standard 12-month warranty.

ICON UP.Lift stairlift

A stairlift is fitted to your own staircase, and a free home assessment confirms whether your stairs qualify. The ICON UP.Lift is designed for straight, curved and narrow staircases, and it’s installed in villas and apartments. The seat swivels at the top of the stairs to help you get off. The seat, armrests and footrest fold automatically, and remote controls call or send the chair.

How to ask for an instalment plan

The product pages ask you to raise it with the team at the point of purchase. It helps to have a few questions ready, so you can compare the plan with paying in full:

How many payments, and how often?
Is there a first payment before delivery?
Is the total the same as the listed price?
Can an Esaad card discount be used alongside the plan?

Before you commit, try the product first. Many wheelchairs and mobility scooters come with a free test drive in the showroom. Stairlifts start with a free home assessment, with no obligation, where the team measures your stairs. Every ICON UP.Lift stairlift also comes with a 1-year comprehensive warranty.

When Renting Makes More Sense than Paying Over Time

Sometimes you only need a mobility aid for a few weeks. In that case, renting may suit you better than an instalment plan. Equipment hire is charged per day, and no minimum hire period is listed. A manual wheelchair starts at AED 30 a day, and mobility scooters and powerchairs start at AED 180 a day.

For hires of more than 8 days, you can ask for a custom rate. That’s useful if you’re visiting the UAE, recovering for a set period or waiting on other support. Renting first can also help you decide which model to buy later.

Rental delivery covers Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah, plus the Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi airports. There’s also an airport meet and greet service, so your equipment can be ready when you land. Pickup is part of the service too, so you don’t need to return anything yourself.

Ways to Bring the Total cost down

An instalment plan spreads the cost, but a few things can also reduce it. Dubai Mobility accepts the Esaad card, which gives discounts to People of Determination and their families on selected products. Purchases come with free UAE delivery, so there’s no delivery charge to plan for. Ask the team which models the Esaad discount covers.

Official support is worth checking too. The UAE Government portal lists support for People of Determination, the official UAE term for people with disabilities. In 2023, Dubai set out benefits for Emirati People of Determination that covered assistive devices. Ask the relevant authority what’s available to you now.
