Q. We have has a quote which is a lot less than your offer - can you beat this price?

A. Whilst we are happy to do discounts on bulk hires, we believe our prices reflect our customer service and quality of attractions. Our rides are corporate spec and will always remain so, this is why we get re-booked each year by our clients. Be wary of other firms quoting a lot less.
