Amazing! Graham was incredibly helpful and everything went as best as it could have. Super easy to organise, everything arrived on time and was in perfect condition 10/10.

Easy to rent, good communication. I liked that the Meta Quest 2 headsets had additional padding so that it didn’t feel heavy or got too sweaty when wearing it for a long time. Battery lasted well, goo... See more

Fantastic Occulus Quest 2 Rental
We rented 2x Occulus Quest 2 over a long weekend. They arrived slightly early giving us even more time to test all the games. Graham was on hand if we needed any help setting things up - but we didnt need to given that the instructions were spot on and super easy to follow. Returning them was just as easy - even though we didnt really want to!! Thanks again, highly recommend Graham for all your VR Rental needs.
100% recommend!!
We had a really great time renting the VR headsets from Graham! He could not have been more helpful, communicative, and went the extra mile ensuring we had a great experience. Loads of fun, for many different ages, and the range of games on the headsets was impressive! Thanks again, Graham!

Easy process with no fuss
Graham was very accommodating with my rental of the Steam Deck recently. He had plenty of information in regards to the return process, and made adding an extension for an extra week a breeze. Would recommend to anyone looking to hire out some high quality equipment any time.

Thin Ice VR @ the International Antarctic Centre
The International Antarctic Centre needed rental VR Headsets for a 3 month summer screening of "Thin Ice VR" - a 23 minute virtual reality experience about Shackleton's famous 1916 Antarctic voyage and rescue mission. Every day, there were 6 x 30 minute shows. Virtual Reality Rental provided 40 Headsets and Headphones for the experience. Graham Parker gave us exceptional service, was there in a flash whenever we needed help, fixed any damaged equipment, and bent over backwards to help us deliver a quality experience to our customers. I would be happy to act as a referee if anyone wants to discuss our interactions with Graham and VR Rentals - David Kennedy - General Manager - International Antarctic Centre

Top Gun Experience
The Virtual Reality - Top Gun Experience was a great hit at our recent trade show in Christchurch. Graham was an awesome help staying throughout the show to encourage people through the experience. It was an easy set up and pack down which is always great too. Thanks again Graham

Kohanga Reo - Rotorua
We had an expo last week in Hamilton, and despite the distance, could not be happier with the service Virtual Reality Rental provided us. Professional, communicative, and just made the whole process simple for us. All our questions were answered and the instructions on how to set up, use and repack the gear were clear to follow. Having a VR in our booth was a highlight and attracted people to see us. Many who came by never experienced VR before, and had a blast, even commenting on how VR could be fun for their centers/homes. We had a 7-day hire and consider the price to have been very reasonable. Thank you for everything Graham.

Amazing service, quality and fun
Graham was super knowledgable and went out of his way to make the rental a great experience. We got 6 sets for our social club and the event was epic. Everything was in great condition and Graham even responded late at night for Q&A.

FANTASTIC Service
FANTASTIC Service! Graham came to the party on this one with his VR Rental service for my sons 10th Birthday Party. From initial enquiry to support in getting the VR headsets working, we couldn't fault his service. Would highly recommend his service if you need to hire VR sets for a birthday or event. Thanks Graham for all your help.
