Q: What is included with walkie talkie hire?
A: When you hire walkie talkies from us, they’ll turn up fully charged and already set up, so you can literally switch them on and get going. We test everything before it leaves us too, so there’s no fiddling around or last-minute stress on your side. Chargers are always included for no extra cost, and then accessories, and support are included depending on your package, so it all arrives ready to use. It’s nice and simple.
Q: Why hire walkie talkies instead of buying?
A: Buying radios costs a lot, especially if you only need them for a short time. When you hire from Amherst Walkie Talkie Centre, you get exactly what you need, when you need it, and you don’t have to worry about storing or maintaining them. It’s flexible, hassle-free, and saves you money.
Q: How many radios do I actually need for my event or site?
A: This is one of those things that is easy to underestimate. Instead of counting everyone on site, it helps to think about who needs to be talking day to day. It’s usually supervisors, security, team leads, and key coordinators. If you are unsure, it is usually safer to have a couple more than you think you will need. It is much easier than trying to make do without enough.
Q: What happens if a radio gets lost or damaged during hire?
A: It can happen on busy sites or at large events, so it is nothing we have not seen before. Just let us know as soon as you can and we will talk you through what to do next. A quick team briefing at the start of the hire can also help reduce the chances of anything going missing or getting damaged in the first place. Please note that we do not provide insurance for our hired radio equipment.
Q: How far will the radios actually transmit?
A: It really depends on the environment you are in. In open areas you will usually get the best range, but buildings, steel structures, or busy city streets can reduce it. That said, the walkie-talkie radios we provide are tested in real working conditions and chosen specifically for sites, events, and other busy environments, so they are built to perform reliably where it matters.
