Melb - Anyone Hire/Loan me a car trailer?

[feistl]

Hey guys,

Long story short i need to pickup a car from Sydney and need to hire/borrow/loan a car trailer. Ive been quoted around $120 for a weekend by various places, but was wondering if someone had one they'd like to hire me a little cheaper. Id rather see the cash to go a commodore fan than a hire company, and hopefully save me a little extra.

Cheers, Errol.

That's a damn good price, I'd say take it. Kennards charge about $85 per day, but their trailer is the goods.

Some hire places give you Sunday free, if you rent Saturday. Ring the smaller places, I know Monash Hire do it.

Thanks mate,

But ****ING GIO have screwed me over on insurance... One of their drivers hit me and did a bunch of damage (3 quote all around the $3k mark) and they decided to settle at $2300.... So im ****ed.

****ing GIO... If i ever become rich im going to buy 2 Ferraris... Insure them with GIO and them run them into each other.

Handy Hire Trailers (phone 1800HANDYHIRE) have the following rates (prices subject to change, correct at time of posting in Adelaide and all that jazz):

$50 Deposit (x2 for travelling outside of the city/metro area).
$5 Damage Waiver (x2 For travelling outside of the city/metro area).
$64 per day Hire fee for a car trailer (car trailers are the most expensive to hire).

So for 48 hours it would be $138 (+$100 deposit which you get back upon return of the trailer).

However, you can opt for a ONE WAY hire. So pick the trailer up at the place closest to where the vehicle is, pay for 24 hours hire ($69 incl. damage waiver) and drop it off at the closest place to your home when you get back. There is a fee on top of that but I am unsure of cost, might be worth a look though. Saves fuel taking an empty trailer up there too.
