EnglishWhat Types of Rides Does Premier Rides Offer for Hire?
Updated
Premier Rides hires out fairground and amusement rides for corporate events and private parties, and groups its offering into three categories: adult rides, family rides and children's rides. The most popular single attraction is Dodgems, followed by big wheels, waltzers, simulators and the carousel. The company states it has supplied rides since 1994 and only attends corporate events and private parties — it does not operate as a public fairground charging admission.
The three ride categories
Adult rides
These are described as the "white knuckle" rides and are not suitable for children. Named examples include Sky Diver and Extreme.
Family rides
Rides that young children can go on with their parents. Named examples include big wheels, Dodgems and waltzers.
Children's rides
The company's own favourite selection, aimed at younger children. Named examples include Cup & Saucers, Toyset, Chair O Planes, mini carousel and swingboats.
Which rides are most requested

| Chair O Planes | Children's | Part of the children's range from £595 + VAT |

Practical points before you enquire
- Pricing: Dodgems start at £2,600 + VAT for the day; children's rides start at £595 + VAT. The site notes that long hours, weekends and location can affect the price, so treat these as starting figures rather than fixed quotes.
- Booking direct: The site states you can come to Premier Rides directly for better prices.
- Venue access: The company says that over 30+ years it has worked at most venues and knows the access and ground issues some current venue managers are not aware of — useful if your site has tight entrances or load-bearing limits.
- What they don't do: They do not attend events where the organiser wants them to pay a pitch fee and charge the public. That model belongs to a fairground company; Premier Rides only covers corporate events and private parties.
- Getting a quote: The site directs you to a ride quote page where you fill in your details for a simple quote, and lists a phone number (01403270076) for taking action.
A caution the site itself raises
Premier Rides warns that every year at least 30 events are let down by rides that fail to arrive, and advises against automatically choosing the cheapest supplier or paying upfront. Whatever supplier you use, that is a reasonable prompt to confirm arrival times, insurance and payment terms in writing before the event date.
