Hire cost
How much does it cost to hire a claw machine?
The cost of hiring a claw machine depends on your event: how many machines, how many days, which city and how much branding you want. That is why we do not have a single rate. We explain what affects the cost and prepare a fixed quote with no surprises.
What affects the price
Six factors that change your quote
With these details we can give you an exact figure in your quote.
Model and number of machines
A classic claw machine and an LED prize machine are priced differently. And if you order several for the same event, the price per unit comes down.
Hire period
We hire by the day, week or month. Extra days cost less than the first one.
City and transport
Transport depends on the distance from Barcelona. Madrid and the rest of Spain are quoted separately.
Set-up times
Very early set-up or late-night dismantling, as happens at some trade shows, can add to the cost.
Branding
PVC panels, full wrap, lights in your colour, teddies with your logo or branded balls. Each option has its own cost.
Prizes and filling
You can bring your own gifts or order balls, plush toys and our ball-filling service from us.
Always included
What the claw machine hire price includes
When we send you a claw machine hire quote, everything it needs to run is already in it:
- the machine, checked and clean;
- delivery, set-up and dismantling by our technician;
- a few minutes’ walkthrough so your team knows how to restock prizes;
- phone or video call support during the event;
- free play, no coins.
Quoted separately: branding, prizes if you order them from us and, if you need one, a promo host by the hour to run the game.
Tips
How to get a good hire price
- Book early. In trade show season and December, machines go fast. If you want branding, allow at least two weeks.
- Group machines at one event. Volume discounts apply when several machines go to the same place at the same time.
- Consider longer hires. For a shop or shopping centre, a week or a month works out better than several separate hires.
- Choose your branding wisely. PVC panels give plenty of visibility with less production than a full wrap. A white machine with your logo also looks great.
- Bring your own prizes. If you already have merchandise, use it. It just needs to fit in a 9 cm ball or weigh under 150 g.

Questions about cost
Why don’t you publish the price of the claw machine?
Because it varies a lot depending on the days, the city, the number of machines and the branding. We would rather give you an exact figure for your event than a rate that looks nothing like the final invoice.
Is transport included?
Yes, the quote includes delivery, set-up and dismantling. The transport cost depends on the event city.
Is there a discount for several machines?
Yes, when several machines go to the same event the price per unit comes down.
How much is an extra day?
Less than the first day. For weekly or monthly hires we quote a price for the whole period.
How do I book?
With 50% on confirmation and the remaining 50% three days before the event. We also work with agencies and procurement departments.
Do you issue invoices?
Yes, we invoice as Juegos para Eventos United Events S.L.
