Ways to get a machine
Buy, rent, lease or let us run it
Four ways to get a machine, depending on how much you want to spend, own and manage. Here's the difference in plain English.
Rent
From £19.80/week
- Venues trying vending for the first time
- Sites that want to test a location before committing
- Businesses that would rather not tie up capital
Lease
Tailored finance terms
- Businesses that want to own, without the upfront cost
- Venues confident in their footfall
- Companies that prefer fixed, budgetable costs
Buy
From £3,100 + VAT
- Established venues with steady footfall
- Operators building their own vending round
- Businesses that want the best long-term return
Fully managed
£0 upfront, monthly commission
- High-footfall sites (roughly 300+ people a day)
- Venues with no time or staff to run a machine
- Multi-site operators who want one supplier

Common questions
What's the difference between buying, renting, leasing and fully managed?
Buying: you own the machine and keep all the profit. Renting: low weekly cost with no commitment to own. Leasing: fixed payments, and you own it at the end. Fully managed: we supply, stock and service it, and pay you commission. Compare all four.
How much does it cost to rent a vending machine?
Rental starts from £19.80 a week (ex VAT) on a 2-year term, plus a refundable deposit. It includes delivery, installation, a pre-fitted Viva Wallet card reader and 24/7 support. Each machine page shows its exact 1 and 2-year prices.
Is fully managed really free?
Yes, for venues that qualify. We cover the machine, stock and servicing and pay you a commission on sales. It's mainly for sites with consistent footfall of roughly 300+ people a day.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. Your quote spells out the machine price or weekly cost, what's included and any minimum term. Stock is the only running cost, unless you're fully managed.
