Why heliguy™ Rental
heliguy™ rental changes the way you access the latest DJI drones and technology.
There are multiple benefits of renting, and our service is available to both commercial and recreational drone pilots.
- Save Money: Significantly cheaper than purchasing the equipment outright.
- Dynamic Scaling: Have the equipment only when you need it, without making a long-term hardware commitment.
- Access The Latest Technology: Hire the latest equipment. When the technology changes, it doesn't negatively impact your company or drone programme - simply rent the newest gear.
- Try Before You Buy: Test on a hire basis, before deciding to buy.
- Less Risk: Don't be lumbered with redundant kit or equipment you use infrequently - having paid a large sum to buy it. This also ensures you do not suffer depreciation of your assets.
- Stress-free Rental: Each rental drone benefits from regular service intervals. If you do crash the drone, don't panic - faults and repairs are outsourced back to us.
