Comparing Rental Options

Dry Hire (Samo Najam) vs Full Service

Dry Hire is cheaper but consider:

  • You’re responsible for setup
  • You troubleshoot any issues
  • No backup if something fails
  • Deposit required

Full Service costs more but includes:

  • Professional setup by experienced technicians
  • On-site support during event
  • Backup equipment available
  • Peace of mind

Our recommendation: For events under 50 guests where you or a friend has audio experience, dry hire works fine. For weddings, corporate events, or anything over 100 guests, full service pays for itself in reliability.

Renting vs Buying

Quick math for DJs and event organizers considering purchase:

EquipmentRental CostPurchase CostBreak-even
Bose F1 SystemEUR 370/dayEUR 2,500~7 events
Pioneer CDJ-3000 pairEUR 280/dayEUR 4,800~17 events
Full DJ SetupEUR 400/dayEUR 7,500~19 events

Consider that ownership also includes:

  • Maintenance and repairs
  • Storage space
  • Insurance
  • Depreciation
  • Transport vehicle

For occasional events (under 10/year), renting usually makes more financial sense.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to rent a PA system in Split?

Basic PA systems start at EUR 150/day for small events (up to 50 guests). Medium systems for 50-100 guests run EUR 250-350/day. Large systems for 100-250 guests cost EUR 450-600/day.

Do you deliver PA equipment to Croatian islands?

Yes, we deliver to Brac, Hvar, Vis, Korcula, and other islands. Delivery surcharges range from EUR 150-450 depending on the island. We recommend day-before delivery for island events.

What’s included in the rental price?

Our prices include delivery within Split (15km), all necessary cables, speaker stands, and WhatsApp support. Technician services and lighting are quoted separately.

Can I rent just speakers without a DJ setup?

Absolutely. We offer standalone PA systems for speeches, presentations, background music, and live performances. You don’t need to rent DJ equipment unless you want it.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak season (June-September), book 2-4 weeks ahead for common equipment. Popular items like Pioneer CDJ-3000s can book out 4-6 weeks in advance for weekend events. Off-season is more flexible.

Do you offer dry hire (samo najam)?

Yes, we offer both dry hire (you pick up and set up) and full-service rental (we deliver, set up, and optionally operate). Dry hire requires a deposit.

What happens if equipment fails during my event?

Full-service rentals include backup components for critical equipment. Dry-hire clients can add backup equipment for 20-30% extra. We provide 24/7 WhatsApp support for troubleshooting.

Can you recommend the right system for my venue?

Yes! Tell us your venue, guest count, and event type. We’ll recommend appropriate equipment. No charge for consultation.

Why We Publish Our Prices

Most equipment rental companies in Croatia hide their prices, forcing you to request quotes for basic information. We think that’s disrespectful of your time.

We publish our prices because:

  • You deserve to know costs before making contact
  • Transparency builds trust
  • Hidden pricing often means hidden fees
  • Price shouldn’t be a secret in 2026

What you see on this page is what you pay. No surprise charges, no bait-and-switch.
