Oxygen Concentrator Rental
Portable and Static Oxygen Concentrator Rental
Do you need a Portable or Static Oxygen Concentrator for a holiday, Flight or Cruise, or perhaps have a relative staying for a period who needs oxygen? Maybe you are visiting the UK from abroad and need an Oxygen Concentrator delivered to your hotel before your visit? The Oxygen Store specialises in hiring Oxygen Concentrators and has an extensive range of Portable, battery, DC and mains operated Pulse Dose and Constant Flow Oxygen Concentrators available to hire suit your needs.
We can even just rent you extra batteries for your own Portable Oxygen Concentrator. Our fully trained staff are here to assist you.
We do ask for 2 weeks notice when hiring an oxygen concentrator, we can supply on shorter notice but this is subject to our availability.
How to hire a concentrator
To hire an Oxygen Concentrator from The Oxygen Store the user must be under medical supervision and have approval from their Doctor or GP to travel, in many instances, you will already have a Fit to Fly Test (also called a Hypoxic Challange test) completed by your Respiratory Nurse.
We will need to know what your doctor or GP has prescribed flow (LPM), and we will need to ascertain whether you require a constant flow of oxygen, or whether you are suitable for a Pulse Dose Oxygen Concentrator (Portable).
If you intend to use the Oxygen Concentrator for a flight, we will ask how long the flight is, you will need to tell us the Litres Per Minute (LPM) that you have been prescribed, and allowing for delays or hold-ups calculate the battery life, and possible additional batteries you will require, most Airlines need that you have battery life for a minimum of 150% of your actual flight time.
All of our Portable Oxygen Concentrators and batteries are FAA approved, so you will have no problems using them on either an Airline or a Cruise Ship.

Rental Period
We usually (except in Emergencies) deliver your Rental Oxygen concentrator to you at home or to your designated hotel at least 2-3 days before requiring the concentrator. If needed, we will liaise with the Hotel Concierge, Reception or Cruise Company to ensure they expect the delivery.
You are ensuring that the concentrator is there when you need it, with no last-minute panics.
Early delivery also ensures that you get the machine in sufficient time for your holiday, also allowing time if there is a problem with the delivery. It lets you become familiar with the operation and settings of the concentrator before you travel and gives time to make sure that all the batteries are fully charged if it is a portable oxygen concentrator, it also gives us time to make sure that you are happy with the tubing and cannula. And if required, send out additional items to you.
We will also ask that the rental period extends 1-2 days over your arrival time back into the UK to accommodate possible travel delays. And to give you time to unpack and relax without having to worry about returning the concentrator to us straight away.
