6 factors that affect your rental price
- Rental duration — the first day carries delivery and setup costs; additional days are much cheaper (RM450 vs RM1,100 with us).
- Branding & customisation — a standard wrap is often included; complex campaign artwork or full re-skins may cost more with some vendors.
- Prizes — bring your own merchandise or vouchers (sized to fit capsules) to control this cost completely.
- Event crew — self-managed machines are cheapest; add a crew member if you expect long queues.
- Delivery distance — Klang Valley delivery is typically free; events in other states involve transport charges.
- Machine type — a standard arcade claw is the budget option; double-player units and life-size human claw machines cost more.
What should be included in the price
- Delivery, setup and collection

Questions to ask any vendor before booking

- What happens if capsules are lost or the machine is damaged?
- What are the power requirements? (Most machines run off a standard wall socket — confirm with your venue.)
- How long does setup take, and can it be done before doors open?
- What is the maximum prize size? (Our claw grabs items up to 10cm in diameter; odd-shaped prizes go into capsules.)
