How to Hire Event Equipment - Expo Hire

Your straightforward guide to hiring event equipment for any occasion.

How to hire event equipment online

Place your order through the website. You can check live stock, see the price for your dates and confirm the booking without waiting for a manual quote.

  1. Choose your products
    Browse the range and set your hire dates on the product page. The site shows live stock for those dates and updates the basket as you add items.
  2. Set your hire period
    Our standard hire covers three days, one for setup, one for the event and one for breakdown. If you need longer, choose the dates that fit your schedule.
  3. Add delivery or collection
    Enter the venue postcode at checkout and the site calculates transport from the nearest depot. You can also collect from Birmingham, Monday to Friday, 7am to 3pm.
  4. Confirm the booking
    Pay online to secure the order. We do not ask for a security deposit. If the booking totals more than £500, you can pay 25% to confirm and pay the balance seven days before delivery.
  5. Take delivery
    On the day, we send an SMS with a two hour ETA and a live GPS tracking link. Your team unloads and sets up the equipment because we operate on a dry hire basis.
  6. Return the items
    We collect on the agreed date. For catering equipment, use Send It Back Dirty, remove food waste and leave the washing to us.
