Pick Up and Dry Hire
If you're audio savvy or a sound technician, know your way around an audio system and just need the gear, use our dry hire service and pick up from our Windsor studio, located just off Chapel Street. We will have your audio rental ready to go with all necessary cables and accessories you need, so you can set up and start using it immediately. Need a little rundown, we can do that too over zoom prior to pick up or on the day. Delivery, Setup, and Pack-Down If you have a heap to do and would rather not worry about picking it up, making sure it will fit in your vehicle and then setting it up, packing it down and returning... phew! We can deliver, install, and pack down the system for you. A small event requiring a compact PA system or a large scale production needing full audio coverage, our team can handle the logistics, so you can focus on everything else. If you're not so sure what you need, contact us and tell us about your event.

CAN I SWING BY YOUR STUDIO TO CHECK OUT GEAR?
We are open by appointment only. Our crew is generally off doing events and shoots around Melbourne, interstate and internationally so often everyone is out onsite and no-one is present at the studio. All paperwork is completed prior to pick up of hires, all you need to do is come in and grab your gear. If you do need a run through on use, we can do that on the day of collection.
HOW DO I PAY?
We accept EFT and credit card via online portal payment. An invoice will be provided.
IS A BOND REQUIRED?
A rental bond is required for hires. Typical bond prices are $200 for most rentals and $300-400 for larger systems and some DJ systems. A partial or full loss of bond will only be incurred if damage has occurred to the equipment (99.9% of customers receive this back in full)
If any damage has occurred or drinks have been spilled on gear TELL US!! Gear is checked thoroughly on return and it makes it easier for everyone.
Your bond will be refunded upon return of equipment in the same condition it was received.

HOW LONG IS THE HIRE PERIOD?
All hires are for a minimum 24 hour period and for as long as you need, however we are extremely flexible and can work around what is convenient for you and us. Equipment can be hired at discounted rates for additional days/weeks if required.
WHAT DO I NEED WHEN PICKING UP EQUIPMENT?
Just yourself. We will already have your payment details and ID.
Most of our gear will fit in a sedan, if not we’ll be sure to let you know prior to pick up. We unfortunately don’t allow pick ups in open tray utes - your vehicle must have a sealed covered cargo area.

WHAT IS DRY HIRE AND DO YOU OFFER IT?
"Dry hire” or driveway hire referring to the pick up from our “driveway” and it does not include the services of an operator or technician.
This refers to the rental of equipment, such as audio equipment, without the services of an operator or technician. This means that the customer is responsible for setting up and operating the equipment themselves.

WHAT TIME IS COLLECTION AND RETURN OF EQUIPMENT?
We are usually available Monday - Friday during business hours and Saturday mornings for pick up and returns, unless we are out on other jobs.
If you hire gear for the weekend we like people picking it up on Friday or Saturday morning and returning on Monday. We may ask you the return the equipment over the weekend in the case that you have finished with your gig and we need it for another event over the weekend.
We’re happy to work with you individually when you create a booking, so we can offer a suitable time and day for both you and us.

HOW DO I SET UP EQUIPMENT?
Mike or one of the team will provide a demonstration on how to set up and operate your sound system, audio recording kit or DJ equipment upon collection or when delivered onsite. We encourage you to take photos or record the setup process. If it’s too much for you or you don’t know what you’re doing, we urge you to take advantage of our on site technician services where we can set up and pack down gear for you.
DO YOU DELIVER?
Yeah! Creative Kicks does not only dry hire Audio equipment. All our equipment can be delivered and operated by our team of audio engineers and technicians as a package which will also include transport. We can deliver, set up, pack down & return gear. Pricing is dependant on distance & service. Ask us for a quote.
WHEN ARE GEAR DELIVERIES DROPPED OFF?
Most commonly equipment is dropped off on the day of your event but we can work with you to drop it off the day prior if requested. During the booking process we can figure out which day and time works best subject to gear availability.
CAN SOMEONE COLLECT OR DROP OFF EQUIPMENT ON MY BEHALF?
Yes they can. However, for collections we will need a form of identification for whoever who is collecting the equipment.
Anyone can complete a drop off on your behalf if we have been previously notified. We are able to return to the bond to the hirer via EFT even if they are not the one returning the equipment.
