Santa Claus For Rent In Romania For RON100 - 350 An Hour

Bucharest-based Rent-a-Santa has the most reservations made for Dec. 14-26. Clients range from corporations, to kindergartens to individuals. The standard price is RON100 per hour, but in the Dec. 19-26 period, the same price is charged for 40 minutes. The company has a choir of carolers, five Santas, of which one has a real beard and is RON10 more expensive, and two young Miss Clause, who can only be rented by corporations.

 

Firma Improve It Group, also based in Bucharest, has nine Santas, and the bulk of the reservations are for Dec. 14-27. Prices range between RON200 and RON350 for 30-60 minutes, depending on the reservation period and services included.

 

"We’ve been covering this business segment for four years now and we’ve secured loyal clients, we know them and we pick the Santa that suits them best. Some of our Santas talk to the children, tell them stories, hand out gifts, while others get involved in interactive games and karaoke," said manager Cristina Margine.

 

As a hobby or as a means to make extra money, Santas are actors, doctors, engineers, students and even electricians.

 

"We’ve been working in this field for two years and even if it’s a temporary business, demand is increasing and this year we are already 80% booked," said Rent-a-Santa manager Bogdan Balamat.
