Frequently Asked Questions

Whether it’s your first time hiring, or you have some questions regarding how Yahire operates, these frequently asked questions should help.

What is the standard hire period?

The item prices on our website cover you for up to 5 days of hire. If you require a longer hire period, we can provide you with bespoke pricing. Longer term hires get a proportionate better hire rate than standard.

Found a cheaper price?

At Yahire we pride ourselves on the value for money we offer. If you have a cheaper like for like price let our team know and we can see what we can do.

What if my event is cancelled?

We have a generous cancellation policy in place that allows you to cancel your event up to 7 days before delivery for free.

COVID-19 policy

We have also created a COVID-19 cancellation policy to help make planning events easier. If the government changes restrictions so you can no longer legally do your event, you can cancel up until the day before with just a small £25 admin fee (as per our T&C).

What is the deposit for?

Deposits are standard in the hire industry. They are held whilst goods are on hire to protect against any damage or loss.

When should I confirm by?

As soon as possible. Even if you still need to make some changes or don’t have the final items, it’s best to at least reserve your delivery slots.

Some items on your quote could be just a couple of bookings away from being out of stock. We wouldn’t want to let you down if you confirm closer to your event.

What is the slight damage waiver?

This covers you for minor damage of the items on hire (scratches, marks, etc.), protecting the hirer against charges from just normal wear and tear.

What is the catering cleaning charge?

This covers for the use of our professional cleaning equipment. All our catering equipment is professionally cleaned before and after each hire, all you need to do is wipe/rinse off any food and put it back into the provided catering boxes.

What is the difference between delivery options?

Economy is the best value, it gives us a bigger window to deliver and makes the route as efficient as possible. We usually deliver the day before your event and collect the day after.

Morning, midday, or afternoon are slightly more expensive but give you a better idea when to expect our arrival.

Specific is for when you need delivery at a set time. This is charged at a premium – the wider the window, the cheaper it is.

Self-collection/Self-Return is the free option, for when you can arrange your own transport from our warehouse at Unit 13 Cranford Way, London, N8 9DG.

We can arrive any time within the delivery window, so please ensure this works for you and considers your set up time.

Will I be notified before delivery?

Delivery routes are not finalised until the day before delivery. You can contact our logistics team the day before delivery for an ETA.

Drivers will endeavor to give a call ahead 30 minutes before arrival on the day of delivery or collection, but this cannot be guaranteed due to phone signal or no answer.

Do you setup the items?

We can set up and dismantle items, but this is a bespoke service and not standard. Please inform us before delivery of what is required and our team can assist you.

When do I receive my deposit back?

As long as everything went well during the hire (as per our T&C), your deposit will be refunded back to your account within 5–10 working days. For any assistance, you can contact our finance team.

Great experience using Yahire for furniture rental for our wedding. The chairs we rented looked great, and the whole process was easy, we didn’t have to worry about anything or coordinate with Yahire at all on the day. They just dropped off the chairs at the time we agreed and picked them up the next day - easy peasy!

We used YaHire for our London back garden wedding and they were exceptional. The customer service is unmatched and they were so accommodating of all my small tweaks to our order. The delivery guys were brilliant: speedy, polite and super hardworking on one of the hottest days of the year. The quality of the glassware, linens and furniture was also excellent, and the value for money was great too.

This team are amazing! I contacted them directly (which was super easy) on the phone to see if anything could be done to get the exact type of chairs we needed for our wedding as they were out of stock by the time our order went in for our venue. Paula was incredibly kind and understanding, and although it isn’t usually possible to do so she managed to work some magic and move mountains to get us just what we needed by working with their warehouse team and going out of their way to do changeover at extreme pace. She also sorted this out overnight and kept in contact with me super fast so I knew what was happening, all without raising any expectations that might be disappointed! The price is also so good. I’m so impressed and would really recommend them.

Ordered some crockery for a funeral and decided to collect myself to keep costs down. I was really impressed with the 2 members of staff who helped me load/unload my car even though I was expecting to do this myself. Thanks to Aaron Jarvis and Daniel Manyika for great customer service.
