How It Works

At Skylark Hire, we aim to provide a seamless and elevated hire experience from the moment you enquire to the final pack-down. Our process is designed to be clear, flexible, and entirely tailored to your event.

1. Enquire & Receive a Personalised Quote

Start by getting in touch with us through our website or by enquiry form. We will confirm availability and prepare a tailored quote that outlines all hire options, inclusions, and pricing. Once you accept the quote, your booking is confirmed and your equipment is reserved exclusively for your event date.

2. Select Your Preferred Service Options

We offer a range of premium service choices to ensure your hire experience is effortless:

• Delivery – Your equipment is delivered directly to your event location.
• Professional Setup – Our team can fully set up your equipment, test everything, and ensure it’s event-ready.
• Pack-Down – After your event, we return to pack down the equipment safely.
• Collection – We collect the items from your venue at a time that suits your schedule.
• Self Pickup & Return – Prefer to handle the equipment yourself? You can pick up and return during our allocated hours.

You’re free to choose any combination of these services based on your needs.

3. Hire Period — 48 Hours Included

Every hire comes with a standard 48-hour window, giving you generous time for setup, event use, and pack-down. This ensures a stress-free experience without time pressure.

4. Extend Your Hire With Ease

If you need your equipment for longer than 48 hours, you can effortlessly add extra days within our booking system. Additional days are charged at a discounted rate, and your invoice automatically updates before payment for full transparency.

5. Security Deposits

A fully refundable security deposit is required for selected equipment:

• Speakers & PA Systems: $200 refundable security deposit
• Pioneer DJ Equipment: $400 refundable security deposit

Your deposit is returned promptly once the equipment is checked and confirmed to be in its original condition.

6. Return or Collection After Your Event

If you’ve chosen our delivery and collection service, we will return at your scheduled time to handle the pack-down and pick-up. If you opted for self pickup, simply return the equipment during our return hours and we’ll take care of the rest.
