How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Sunbed? A UK Home Sunbed Hire Guide

Thinking about hiring a sunbed for your home? Here's exactly what it costs in the West Midlands, what's included, and how to prep your space so delivery day runs smoothly.

How much is it to hire a sunbed?

Home sunbed hire in the UK typically ranges from £175 to £475, depending on the hire length. At TanBox, our most popular package — a 4-week hire — starts at £175 for both the lie-down Elite and stand-up Caribbean VTU. Longer hires bring the weekly cost down significantly.

What's included in the price?

• Professional delivery to your door across the West Midlands
• Full installation — we set the sunbed up safely in the room of your choice
• Collection at the end of your hire — no return trips
• Premium commercial-grade beds, fully cleaned and maintained

A £10 deposit secures your slot and is taken at the time of booking.

Can you hire sunbeds for home?

Yes — home sunbed hire is one of the most popular ways to get holiday-ready, prep for a wedding, or maintain a year-round tan without trekking to a salon. At TanBox we deliver and install the bed for you, so all you need is a suitable room and a standard mains socket.

How to prepare for your home sunbed hire

1. 1. Choose the right room. A spare bedroom, conservatory or large landing works well. Lie-down beds need around 7ft × 4ft of floor space; stand-ups need roughly 4ft × 4ft plus head height (around 6ft 6in).
2. 2. Check access. Make sure doorways, stairs and any tight corners can fit the bed in flat-packed sections. Our team will guide it in.
3. 3. Mains socket. Sunbeds run from a standard 13A UK socket — no special wiring needed.
4. 4. Ventilation. Pick a room you can keep cool and well-ventilated; sunbeds generate warmth during use.
5. 5. Eye protection. Always wear UV goggles. We can advise on safe session times for your skin type at delivery.
