Radio Hire FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of hiring radio equipment rather than buying it?

Hiring radio equipment gives you the flexibility to do what you wish with it and allows you to abrogate most of the responsibilities of buying your own. In most cases it is financially sensible to rent because in very general terms, less investment is required to achieve a particular result.

What types of companies and industry sectors hire two-way radios?

Most, if not all, industry sectors make use of two-way radio communications equipment. Just some of our customers include:

Motor sport

Construction

Security

Pop & Rock concert promoters and organisers

Exhibition and event managers and organisers

Schools and other educational establishments

Local and Central Government

Logistics

Emergency Services

How do I know which radios to choose?

We take the unfashionable view that you are the expert in your business and we are the experts in ours. If you contact us, we can establish your requirements and provide you with the optimum solution.

Who makes your radios?

We are a Motorola Authorised Two-Way Radio Distributer. As such, we solely supply Motorola radios. Motorola is a household name with a long-established reputation for producing extremely reliable equipment. In the course of many years' experience, we have established that Motorola equipment is highly versatile and capable as well as being easy to use and very cost-effective.

In the unlikely event of a radio failure, what would I do?

Motorola radio equipment is exceedingly reliable, and equipment failure is a very rare event. However, part of our function is to provide an extremely prompt back-up service. As soon as we are advised of a problem, we will supply a replacement immediately. You may then return the faulty equipment to us at your convenience.

Do you offer anything other than radios?

Yes. We offer an enormous range of accessories; chargers, carrying cases, extra batteries, external microphones, hands-free kits, supplementary antennas, cabling, connectors and a wide range of audio accessories. You can purchase these items on a retail basis or hire them as part of a handset package.

What if I need more information than your site offers?

We fully accept that no Web site can offer information appropriate to every conceivable situation, so we invite you to contact us. We can almost always answer any query over the telephone straight away. Alternatively, you can use our contact page to send us an e-mail.

How long have you been in business?

The Radio Hire Company has been trading independently since 1992. However, this date does not accurately reflect the enormous collective expertise of our company. Our highly trained and experienced staff have long and illustrious track records in the radio communications industry, and the proprietor has been in the communications business (and associated with Motorola equipment) since 1977.
