advised to check <strong>the</strong> internet for all <strong>the</strong> different places that offer <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ute</str<strong>on</strong>g> hire<br />

Before you make any <str<strong>on</strong>g>rental</str<strong>on</strong>g> agreement <strong>the</strong>re are some things that need to<br />

be c<strong>on</strong>sidered:<br />

The Load<br />

Take a look at <strong>the</strong> job you will need <strong>the</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ute</str<strong>on</strong>g> for, and try and estimate<br />

<strong>the</strong> size of <strong>the</strong> load so you know what sized <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ute</str<strong>on</strong>g> you will need, maybe<br />

you can fit it all in with <strong>on</strong>e load or maybe you will need to make<br />

several trips.<br />

Think about <strong>the</strong> type of load is it clean or dirty?<br />

Will you be moving aggravate or garden waste, clean sand or topsoil?<br />

Maybe you will be moving some heavy equipment or your home<br />

c<strong>on</strong>tents?


Timing<br />

It helps to know how l<strong>on</strong>g your moving job will take, can you do it in<br />

half a day or will it take a lot l<strong>on</strong>ger<br />

The hire rates can vary c<strong>on</strong>siderably depending <strong>on</strong> when you want <strong>the</strong><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Ute</str<strong>on</strong>g>, if it’s for <strong>the</strong> day, weekend or a whole week<br />

If you run out of time it can cost a lot when you return <strong>the</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ute</str<strong>on</strong>g> a few<br />

hours late, even if you have a good excuse<br />

Will, you need to take time off work, it is best to arrange <strong>the</strong>se, thing<br />

before you commit yourself to a hire agreement, although if you do<br />

give <strong>the</strong> hire company plenty of notice <strong>the</strong>y will usually allow you to<br />

make changes. But ask first!<br />

Distance<br />

Try and get a good idea of <strong>the</strong> distance you have to travel with your<br />

load, picking up <strong>the</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ute</str<strong>on</strong>g>, doing <strong>the</strong> job and <strong>the</strong> return to <strong>the</strong> depot.<br />

If your <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ute</str<strong>on</strong>g> hire <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> Gold Coast is just local <strong>the</strong>n you can<br />

probably get away with miles included hire. But if you have a l<strong>on</strong>g<br />

way to go <strong>the</strong>n ask for unlimited miles as if you go over <strong>the</strong> allowed<br />

distance <strong>the</strong>y will charge per kilometer and that can quickly become<br />

expensive.<br />

Services and Extras<br />

Find out what services and extras are included and which <strong>on</strong>es you<br />

will have to pay extra for.<br />

Do you need a roof rack for l<strong>on</strong>g loads?<br />

Will you require a hydraulic ramp for lifting, loading and unloading?<br />

Find out about <strong>the</strong> insurance and see if your credit card or pers<strong>on</strong>al<br />

insurance will cover you.
