FAQ’s
How much does radio hire cost in London?
Costs vary depending on the number of units, hire duration, equipment type and any additional support packages. Short-term event hire can start from just a few pounds per unit per day, with larger or longer-term deployments quoted on a bespoke basis.
Is there a discount for longer-term or larger-quantity hires?
Yes. We offer competitive pricing, with reduced rates often available for longer hire periods or larger quantities of radios. Pricing is assessed on a case-by-case basis to reflect the scale and duration of the deployment.
Do I need a licence for two-way radios in London?
No, you don’t need to worry about a licence. A licence is required, but we will manage that for you with a short-term event licence.
What radio accessories might I need?
We offer a full range of two-way radio accessories including earpieces, speaker microphones, carry cases and multi-unit charging banks.
Can I have on-site support at my event?
Yes, we can provide on-site support to get you up and running and to accommodate any last-minute changes.
What is the range/coverage area?
Coverage depends on several factors including the type of radio, surrounding buildings, terrain, and whether repeaters are used.
Do I need analogue or digital radios?
Most customers choose digital two-way radios as they are the more modern option, offering clearer audio and improved performance. Analogue radios can still be suitable for smaller or simpler deployments.
How many radios do I need?
The number of radios you need depends on the size of your team and the complexity of the event or environment. Our hire support team can help determine the right quantity and configuration to ensure effective communication.
How is the delivery/collection handled?
Radios are delivered to your venue or site ready to use, with collection arranged once the hire period ends. For larger deployments, our team can manage delivery and organisation to keep the process simple and efficient.
What happens if a radio is lost, broken, or doesn’t work?
If a radio is lost, broken, or does not work, a replacement can be provided, and our radio hire team will assist you with replacement charges depending on the circumstances and hire agreement.
