Helium Tank Hire Alternatives
Looking at helium tank hire? There is a cheaper way. Adams Gas refillable helium cylinders are rent-free — no hire charges at all.
Benefits & features
Rent-free refillable cylinders
No hire charges and no contract on our refillable helium — pay for the gas plus a one-off refundable deposit only.
Better value per balloon
A refillable cylinder works out cheaper per balloon than repeat single-use canisters once you run more than the odd party.
Collection & local delivery
Collect from our Kent base and stockist network, or order helium online for local delivery — inflate where the party is.
Why rent-free beats tank hire
Traditional helium tank hire stacks up rental fees whether you use the gas or not — and the charges keep coming for as long as you hold the tank. With Adams Gas there is no rental at all.
You pay for the helium plus a one-off refundable deposit on the cylinder, then exchange empties as you need them. No hire contract, no ongoing rental and no return deadline hanging over you.
Gas plus a refundable deposit
Getting started is simple: take a refillable helium cylinder on a one-off refundable deposit, then pay only for the gas each time you exchange an empty for a full one. When you are finished for good, hand the cylinder back and get the deposit returned.
For most party planners, event firms and balloon businesses that works out cheaper than hire — you avoid recurring rental and only pay for the helium you actually use.
