At the Oxygenstore, we are committed to allowing our customerstravel far and wide, even if you plan to travel by cruise ship. We supply pulse dose, constant flow, and even mains operated oxygen concentrators to suit all of your travel needs.
With over 25 years’ experience in the Travel and Oxygen Industries, our Staff are well qualified to answer all of your questions, offer you travel support and take care of your needs when it comes to travelling with oxygen.
To hire an Oxygen Concentrator from The Oxygenstore 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 Challenge test) completed by your GP or Respiratory Nurse.
We will need to know what flow rate your doctor or GP has prescribed (how many LPM), and we will also need to ascertain whether you require a constant flow of oxygen, or whether you are suitable for a Pulse Dose Oxygen Concentrator.
Customers planning to travel via cruise ship will have two options when it comes to delivery. We can either deliver your oxygen machine directly to your house, or we can deliver directly to your cruise cabin.
For home deliveries, we usually (except in Emergencies) deliver your Rental Oxygen concentrator to you at least 5-7 days before you are due to depart.
This early delivery ensures that you receive your machine in time for your holiday, allowing us time to rectify any issues if there is a problem with the delivery. This also allows you time to become familiar with the operation and settings of the concentrator before you travel and further allows you time to make sure that all batteries are fully charged prior to your departure.
We will also ask that the rental period extends 1-2 days over your arrival time back into the UK in order to accommodate any possible travel delays, and to give you time to unpack and relax without having to worry about returning the concentrator to us straight away.
We are also very proud to offer our customers the option of cruise ship delivery (extra costs apply). For cruise ship delivery, your concentrator will be delivered directly to your ship and will be installed in your cabin prior to your arrival. At the end of your voyage, we will then collect the concentrator from your cabin after you have checked out.
Before shipping out your concentrator, all equipment will be sterilised and thoroughly checked to ensure that it is fully operational and up to the highest of standards. We take the safety and hygiene of our oxygen concentrators very seriously.
We include new tubing, cannulas or masks with every concentrator. As well as this, all equipment delivered to your home will be packed securely in a protective Peli case ready to arrive safely at your door.
Zero rate VAT is available on all of our rental machines for eligible customers.

You can call us and speak to one of our specialists or, alternatively, fill out our web form and our team will get back to you with a quote as soon as possible.
If you decide to proceed, we will send you a document itemising the details of the rental agreement. We usually require that these forms are filled in at least two weeks before you travel, but if it is a last-minute rental request, don't worry, we can often arrange a rental agreement as late as the day before you travel (subject to availability).
