We offer you a self-collection & return option for your equipment if you so wish. This way, you won’t incur any additional fees by using our transport service. But, likewise, you will need to ensure that you have a large-enough vehicle!
Of course, we will gladly give you a helping hand to load and unload your vehicle when you are at any of our distribution centres.
Please ensure that you have made payment in advance for your equipment, and that you bring a copy of photographic ID with you, along with an electronic or hard copy of your hire contract.
If you need any more help or assistance on this, please visit our FAQs below, or speak to one of our team members.

Q. What is my responsibility for equipment return?
A. When you return the equipment, tables and chairs should be folded or stacked. Chinaware, glass and cutlery should be cleaned and packed in their respective containers – glasses should be upside down in their crates. Linen should be dry and placed in bags provided. Any LPG appliances should be disconnected (following instructions in the operating & safety guides). Large cooking equipment should be free from food debris. Water boilers and urns should be emptied (following instructions in the operating & safety guides).
