Hidden costs when hiring a marquee
Worried about the hidden costs that may be associated with hiring a marquee?
An article by Right Marquee Hire Ltd
One of the biggest expenses within the marquee hire industry is insurance, this can become a pitfall for the client as well as the company. Many companies pass this expense on to the client by adding an insurance premium to the quote. Customers should make sure that they have checked whether or not the quote they have received includes such charges as insurance and transport. “Does your quote include all costs?”
Most competitive marquee companies offer a free, no obligation site survey and quote. This can give the client a clearer understanding of the prices involved. “Don’t be afraid to get more than one quote and references if you require them.”
Once you have decided on a marquee hire company, you will commonly be asked to pay a deposit. The client should ensure that they have carefully read the included terms and condition as this is what their deposit will be held against.
A marquee may not be as an expensive as you think. The larger costs of hiring a marquee are for the additions and often not the cost of the marquee itself. Customers can organise their own decoration, saving money overall.
 One idea for saving money when hiring a marquee can be to have a themed event. Recently we had a customer who requested the marquee to be erected with no trimmings or additions and held a beach themed event including sand castles, drift wood and fancy dress.
A marquee hire company can supply anything from a basic marquee to a complete event. The choice is firmly in the clients hands.
