Drone Depot Rentals
Here at Drone Depot, we’ve been renting consumer and prosumer drones and gimbals to production companies and drone operators for over twelve years.
We place a high emphasis on the positive relationships we’ve established with our clients, and we’re eager to establish new ones.
We’re one of very few places in New Zealand where you can rent everything from a DJI Neo, all the way to an Inspire 3
We accept drone rentals as short as a day and as long as you want; the longer the term, the better the deal!
Why Rent?
- A rental has a lot of advantages: lower initial costs, the ability to only use the kit when necessary, excellent for times of dynamic scaling, constant access to the newest technology, and the ability to sample before you buy
- Our rental services allow you to create a fully customized package to meet your specific needs. Whether you require just the drone itself or a complete setup with all its accessories, we've got you covered. Let us know what you're looking for, and we'll tailor a rental solution just for you!
The cost of renting a drone vs. buying one
Drones are incredible tools, as are the payloads they carry.
Renting offers a less expensive and more economical way to obtain the technology, significantly lowering the upfront cost.
Take our Mavic 3 Enterprise rental, for example. Comparing the $9476 retail price of the bundle, a weekly hire begins at $1250.
This means that you can rent the drone for 7 or more weeks for less than the cost of buying it altogether.
This is a particularly alluring incentive for drone operators who seldom use their drones, only use them for custom missions, or for those who wish to try the tools out before committing to a purchase.
Access The Latest Technology
Let’s face it, technology moves fast, especially in the drone market.
Renting is a very adaptable choice. It not only enables you to have the kit only when necessary, but it also ensures that you constantly have access to the newest technological innovations.
Wether you fly commercially or for leisure, you can take advantage of the most recent drone models with improved camera specs and flight safety systems and gain a competitive edge for your drone operations.
The Air 2S, for example, was released just a year after the Mavic Air 2, with insanely superior specs. If you’d bought the Air 2, you might be feeling a bit annoyed that your investment has been trumped just a year later by a newer, better model, and be reluctant to buy the newest model because of your previous experience. Renting takes away this connundrum.
Try before you buy
Renting a drone before purchasing lets you test its features and performance in real-world conditions.
This way, you can make an informed decision based on hands-on experience, ensuring the drone meets your needs before committing to a long-term investment.
There is no better way to get a feel for if the tool is right for the job than actually to go and put it in that scenario.
Needs Repairs? No worries!
Even the most experienced drone pilots make mistakes from time to time.
If you rent from Drone Depot, you can have the repairs done in our own repair centre.
By doing this, you can be certain that you won’t need to worry about scheduling a repair or risk having a broken drone sit on your shelf for weeks.
In addition, our tech team constantly services each rental item to make sure it has the latest firmware. This saves you the trouble and lessens the dangers and difficulties of flying without the most recent firmware.
Drone Depot is here for you
Drone Depot’s rental offering covers the majority of the DJI ecosystem of drones, as well as batteries, controllers, and just about anything related you can think of with regard to drones!
Hiring a drone from us could make a lot of sense depending on your situation.
Not that owning one is a bad idea; in fact, for some operators, both commercial and recreational, buying an aircraft altogether is a smart choice.
However, renting a drone offers a different choice that, for some, may be more cost-effective and lower the risks associated with ownership.
Rest assured that our team will do their best to help you find the best option.
