The UK’s Tablet and iPad Hire Specialists

Tablet hire for business events covers renting iPads and Android tablets for registration, presentations, lead capture, and point of sale, without the upfront cost of buying devices. Rental companies supply pre-configured, updated tablets from brands like Apple and Samsung, with flexible periods from one day to several weeks and no minimum order. Before booking, confirm device count against expected attendees, Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity, and what technical support is available during the event. Renting scales easily from a small meeting to a large conference.

iPad kiosk mode locks a rented iPad to a single app, usually through Guided Access or Single App Mode, so guests cannot exit into other apps or settings. Guided Access takes about 30 seconds to set up and works on any iPad, while Single App Mode needs a supervised device and offers more permanent, restart-proof locking. Paired with a rented desk stand, kiosk mode turns a standard iPad into a secure check-in or registration station that survives hours of guest traffic without staff hovering over it.

iPads suit events that need consistent performance, strong app support, and a polished look, such as registration desks, presentations, and EPOS setups. Android tablets suit events needing flexibility, bulk deployment, or lower cost, such as surveys, data capture, or kiosk mode across large device fleets. Neither option is universally better. The right choice depends on your event software, budget, and how many devices you need. Most UK event organizers hire a mix of both, matching the device to the task rather than picking one platform for everything.
