While the machine is out on hire, the normal hire period would apply. However if it is poor weather and you phone the office at the beginning of the day, we can off hire the machine for the day that you called. Any off hires will only be accepted if communicated at the beginning of the day, not after the hire or at the time of return. If tracking devices pick up that the machine has been used during that day, a normal day charge will apply. Call us today on 06 872 6774 to talk to an Allways Hire representative or email simon@allwayshire.co.nz.

Please give us a call if you are running late and we can wait.

You will need to check your specific vehicle tow bar capacity and check if the trailer has brakes as this can effect the maximum towing capacity. A safe guide is to ensure the trailer (with brakes) and machine is under 2500Kgs. For example a 1.7 ton digger on a trailer is under the 2500kg weight and can be towed by any vehicle with a suitable tow bar.

Yes, any machine or vehicle leaving the hire yard must have some form of insurance cover, either provided by the hirer or using Allways Hire’s policy cover. Click on the insurance tab to find out more.

Yes, the hire period is for time out, not machine hours used. While the machine is out on hire we are unable to hire to anyone else so normal charges apply regardless of how much it is used.

Our weekend deal is based on a special arrangement where you have the convenience of collecting it on a Friday afternoon, and returning it first thing Monday morning. If the machine hours used is 8 hours or under then a one day hire charge applies even though you have had it all weekend. This gives you the convenience of doing some work on Saturday and finishing off on Sunday. If you do more than 8 hours then excess hours are charged e.g. if the machine you hired was used for 10 hours, you will be charged for 1.25 days.  This arrangement gives you the benefit of getting small jobs done over the 2 day period of a normal weekend.
