First Time Hire

If you have hired from VMI already, then you already have an account with VMEDIA, and are welcome to place a hire with us. However, if you haven’t hired from VMI or VMEDIA before, don’t worry, the process to setup an account is easy.

Corporate | Professional | Freelance Clients

Prior to your first hire, VMEDIA require the following:

  • Must have been trading for 12 months or more.
  • Must be able to supply 2 trade references from rental companies you have dealt with for at least 12 months.
  • In the event of freelancers, then production companies or other professionals will also count.
  • Proof of valid insurance policy sent to us via email.

Please fill the account application form.

It is a compulsory requirement for you to have a valid ‘hired in insurance policy’ in place when hiring equipment. VMI can provide damage waiver cover to £5,000 if you don’t have your own policy in place. This is chargeable at a rate of 18% of the hire value plus VAT. Alternatively Apply for Insurance Cover with Performance Insurance

First hires are always on a COD basis and we have a minimum hire charge of £15+VAT.

Note that this process can take between 1-2 days, so please give as much notice as possible, as we cannot guarantee how much time it takes for referees to answer our enquiries.
