Our security services start from CZK 250 per hour excluding VAT. Contact us for a non-binding quote based on your brief. The final quote depends on the type of service, team size, length of deployment and the responsibility the provider assumes on site. A one-off event is priced differently from long-term site security or overnight construction-site security.
What the price of security depends on
- the number of staff and team roles (guard, shift leader, event commander),
- shift length and layout: day, night, weekend or holiday operation,
- operational risk and the experience required of the people,
- location, transport and team accommodation for away deployments,
- reporting, record-keeping and performance control requirements,
- cover staffing, so a missed shift does not endanger the operation.
What the hourly rate should include
A quote should clearly state whether it covers the guard's pay, including statutory contributions and premiums, basic equipment, contract management, cover for absences and the agreed reporting arrangements. If a price seems unusually low, ask for a breakdown of costs and scope instead of guessing where the provider is cutting corners.
Price by service type
Site security: for a long-term shift service, the number of posts, night regime and patrol scope decide. Service setup details are described on the site security.
Event security: event pricing depends on the number of stewards and security staff, programme length and entrances. A multi-day festival with overnight duties needs a different quote from a one-day corporate event; see our event security service and the guide to event security pricing.
Construction-site security: for a construction site, what matters is the perimeter size, vehicle entry records and whether guarding runs around the clock or only outside working hours and at weekends.
Reception and gatehouse: regular daytime operation tends to be the most stable in price; night supervision, building systems and cover requirements change the calculation.
Personal protection: the rate grows with programme risk, the number of transfers and the need for a multi-member team or a driver.
Why agency offers differ so much
Two quotes with the same hourly rate may cover very different scopes. Check whether night and weekend premiums are included, who leads the service, how absences are covered and what the supplier commits to. One-off deployments also require different planning from regular shifts: travel, equipment, site-specific briefing and cover all affect the preparation.
How to read the total quote
An hourly rate alone does not determine the budget. First establish how many posts are staffed at the same time, for how long and in which roles. Then clarify any premium shifts, travel, specialist equipment, service management and reporting. The quote should show what is included in the rate and what is charged separately.
How to compare offers without surprises
- ask for a breakdown of roles and shifts, not just one number,
- check what is in the rate: surcharges, transport, equipment, reporting,
- ask who leads the service and how a staff outage is handled,
- for events, ask for a named event commander and a procedure for changes during the programme,
- compare liability insurance and verifiable references.
How to get a specific price
