Pricing

How we calculate your rate

Every rental is rate-quoted in real time using four inputs:

  1. Destination postcode — drives zone, distance and the carrier shortlist.
  2. Chargeable weight — the higher of actual weight and volumetric weight (L × W × H ÷ 5000).
  3. Installation tier — none, basic mount, full rigging, or live-event setup.
  4. Payment mode — prepaid, COD, or card (a payment-channel fee applies on card).

The calculator above reflects the exact rate you'll see at checkout. Add items to your cart, enter a town, and you'll see every available carrier ranked from cheapest to fastest — pick the one that suits you and proceed to checkout.
