Question 1

What are the benefits of drone rental?

Accepted Answer

Drone rental has a range of benefits. These include: Cost-savings: Drone hire is significantly cheaper than purchasing the equipment outright. Dynamic Scaling: Access the equipment on-demand and only when you require it. Access The Latest Technology: Benefit from 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 and firmware updates. It is tested by our in-house DJI-trained technicians before being sent to you, meaning it is ready to go when you receive it.

How long is the heliguy™ rental period?

Accepted Answer

heliguy™ drone rental is available for a minimum of one week. You can hire the equipment for longer than this, depending on our availability and your requirements.

Question 6

Is insurance included in the price of a rental?

Accepted Answer

No - You will need to provide your own valid insurance policy that covers hired in goods and specifies drones. Providers like Coverdrone can offer you this kind of cover. As part of the insurance policy process, all rental equipment must be insured under a Non-Owned Electronic Equipment or Rented Goods section to ensure we can dispatch the equipment as quickly as possible. You also need to factor loss of hire costs in the event that heliguy™ is unable to hire out the equipment to other clients as a result of damage caused.

Yes, you do. A £99 deposit is required on all drone rentals. This will be refunded upon return of your drone rental.

We strive to make the rental process as easy and streamlined as possible. But, we do require some documents from you.

You will need to provide a copy of your passport or driving licence to confirm your identity, and a recent utility bill or bank statement which matches the shipment address.

All documents are stored securely, and not distributed to third-party companies, in line with Cyber Essentials.
