Payment and delivery

How does our pricing work?

We have 3 price brackets based on the length of time you wish to hire the machine; 1 day, 2 days or 1 week. 1 days hire is the price for hire between 8.30am and 4.30pm on any weekday. 2 days hire is the price for when you have the machine from 8.30am until 4.30pm the following day. As we are unable to deliver or collect machines over the weekend, for people wishing to use the machine over the weekend, we can deliver the machine on a Friday afternoon and collect on a Monday morning for the same cost as a 2 day hire. A weeks hire charge applies to any hires between 3 and 7 days. And of course, the longer you have the machine, the less you pay per day.
