FAQ's For Our Rental Process

Take a look at our rental range and let us know what you’d like. Remember to let us know if you’d like to collect from us, or have it delivered, and if you’re dry-hiring (we just give you the kit) or if you’d like it set up by us.

We’ll send you a rental quote. When you’re happy, accept your order to book it in. Don’t worry, we won’t ask for any payment until everything is confirmed, but you will need to adhere to our payment and identification terms, which are explained below.

Absolutely. Our vans, trucks and delivery partners deliver across the UK between between 10:00-16:00 each weekday, although flexible out of hours and weekend transport is also available.

We’ll send over a delivery cost on your quote, and send one member of the team to your venue, unless otherwise agreed. Therefore, please ensure you have sufficient people available to assist unloading and/or loading of our vehicle.

Certainly, you can collect your order between 10am – 4pm on the first day of hire from our warehouse near Gateshead, Tyne & Wear. Rentals should be returned between 9am – 12pm on the return date.

Every item is quality and safety checked before it leaves us, but in the event of a problem, we provide 24/7 support to all our rental customers. See our Contact Us page for details of our daytime and out of hours contact details. It’ll also be on your delivery paperwork.

Cancellation of a rental order must be made by email to us at hire@hi-lights.tv. As per our terms and conditions, this may levy a cancellation charge in relation to the start date of the hire:

  • 30 days or more – no charge
  • 14-30 days – 20% of total charge
  • 3-13 days – 50% of total charge
  • 2 days or less – 100% of total charge

Trade accounts are only available to customers following a period of trading history with us, and subject to our agreement.

Overdue accounts may be stopped from further orders without warning.

Instruction manuals and guidance is available for some products in our rental catalogue. A full PAT test database is on our website, for customers who may require this certification.

You can always ask our staff during collection if you need assistance with your equipment.

We can setup your equipment, for customers who would prefer us to install equipment on their behalf. Please let us know if this is something you would like. Our install and derig times are approximate; please ensure we have close vehicular access to your venue.

For larger events, our Production team are available to manage your production from start to finish.

You’ll need to accept and digitally sign your quote, so that we can book the equipment to you, and provide two forms of identification before the equipment is released to you (see below). If you are hiring from us for the first time, we’ll also ask you to complete some additional paperwork. Quotes are valid for seven days, but equipment is not booked or reserved until confirmed.

In most cases, payment is required before the equipment can be released to you and/or installation of your equipment begins. We may also request an additional deposit, which is refunded at the end of the rental.

For orders over thirty days away – we’ll send an invoice around four weeks before the order start date.

For orders due to start soon – we’ll send an invoice to you once your order is confirmed. You can also pay for your rental at our warehouse upon collection.

We require identification from customers before releasing equipment for use.
