Claw Machine Rental San Jose
Full-size and mini claw machines delivered and set up across San Jose and the South Bay. Parties, weddings, company events, and convention booths. $750 for 6 hours.
We deliver claw machines throughout San Jose and the South Bay: downtown and the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, Santana Row, Willow Glen, the North San Jose tech corridor, and the neighboring cities of Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Campbell, Los Gatos, and Milpitas. Our shop is in downtown San Mateo, about 30 miles up the 101 or 280.
In 2026 we wrapped a machine for Comet's Opik at WeAreDevelopers World Congress inside the San Jose convention center and ran two NVIDIA machines at an outdoor company event in Santa Clara. The same crew handles backyard birthdays in Almaden and wedding receptions in Los Gatos.
Every rental includes delivery, setup, calibration, a walkthrough, phone support during the event, and pickup. Pick free play or token mode, add a plushie pack or your own prizes, and choose any custom branding. Full details on the Bay Area claw machine rental page.

Neighborhoods and cities we deliver to
All of San Jose plus the surrounding South Bay. A few places we go most often:
Delivering in San Jose and the South Bay
Delivery to San Jose and the South Bay is priced by mileage within our $250 to $650 range. Setup, calibration, and pickup are included with every rental.
Tech campuses
Corporate campuses in North San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino usually need vendor check-in, a certificate of insurance, and a loading dock or service entrance. Send us your facilities contact and we take care of it.
San Jose convention center
We have set up on the McEnery expo floor and coordinate move-in, the power drop, and pickup with your booth team so the machine is running before doors open.
Outdoor company events
South Bay summers are hot. We run machines under a tent or canopy with a standard outlet within 25 feet, as we did for NVIDIA's outdoor event in Santa Clara.
Backyards and homes
A full-size machine weighs about 350 pounds, so we need a level path about 3 feet wide from the curb to the spot, with no stairs. Side gates and patios usually work. The 4-player mini claw is a shorter cabinet for tighter spots.
Wedding venues
Los Gatos, Saratoga, and Morgan Hill venues are all within range. We set up before guests arrive or during cocktail hour and pick up after the reception.
Longer drive, same service
San Jose is about 45 minutes from our shop. Delivery is priced by mileage, and setup, calibration, and pickup are included like everywhere else.
