Frequently Asked Questions
If you cannot find the answer to your question below, please feel free to contact us directly on 9874 8444 or hire@vermonthire.com.au.
What are your trading hours?
Monday to Saturday from 7am to 5pm
Can I hire equipment for a Sunday?
Yes, pick the equipment up on a Saturday between 4pm and 5pm and return it on the Monday between 7am and 8am for just one day’s hire. 4 hour hires are not available on a Sunday.
I only want to hire equipment for a few hours. How much will I pay?
We have a 4 hour rate on many equipment items. Initially, you will pay the full day rate plus deposit when you take the equipment out. When you return the equipment in under 4 hours, we will issue a refund of the deposit and the difference between the daily and 4 hour hire rate.
What counts as a 4 hour hire?
For equipment with a 4 hour rate, bring the equipment back in under 4 hours and you will receive the 4 hour hire rate.
Can I have a 4 hour hire if I pick it up in the evening?
No, 4 hour hires must be returned before 5pm.
Can you deliver?
Yes, we deliver all over Melbourne and her surrounds at very competitive prices. Please ask us for a quote on delivery to your area.
What do I need to bring to hire equipment?
A current Victorian driver’s license for identification. Cash, eftpos, visa, or mastercard for payment.
How much is the deposit?
It is the daily hire rate rounded up to the nearest ten. So if the daily hire rate is $95, the deposit would be $100 and the total amount payable will be $195. The full deposit is refundable when you bring the equipment back in good working condition. Furthermore, if you have brought the equipment back within 4 hours and a 4 hour rate is available, you will only be charged the 4 hour rate.
How are deposits refunded?
Deposits are refunded using the same method by which payment was made. So if you paid the hire rate and deposit on a credit card, you will need to bring the same credit card back to be issued the refund.
What Our Customers Have to say
I hire from Vermont Hire all the time and am forever singing their praises. Over the years I tried Kennards Hire and Hire-It but the level of service and state of the equipment from each of these places pales into insignificance compared with Vermont Hire's. The staff are outstanding, very friendly, very patient, very knowledgeable and are very keen to ensure you are hiring the right piece of equipment for the job you need. The equipment works first time, every time, they are contactable if you have problems when using it and they show you how it works, what to do and what not to do before they set you free with it. They are now my one and only hire shop and I often ask them for their advice before I even start one of my many DIY projects.
Equipment is in excellent condition, prices are great and service was friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend them.
I happened to find Vermont Hire and hired a generator from them. Friendly staff and good products and price. Definitely recommend!
I had a very positive experience hiring a line trimmer. They answered all the questions I had about the job, the deposit process is simple and painless, and they supplied me with extra fuel and spare lines for the trimmer with no hidden costs. Great value for money and good customer service.
Great pricing, even better customer service.
We hired a scissor lift for a painting job in Warrandyte. The machine was in great condition, delivery was punctual and the delivery driver was very polite and gave us a good induction. It saved us a lot of time and did the job easily, and at a fair price of course! It was a very good hiring experience, look forward to hiring from Vermont Hire again - highly recommend!
Hired a chainsaw. It was in great condition and did my task easily. Vermont Hire had the saw available on short notice. Really good service and would recommend without hesitation. Excellent!
Vermont Hire is a fantastic business. The hiring process is always straight forward, hassle free and reliable! As a local Vermont based business we often hire their pressure cleaners if we need an extra one for the day. If you're looking to hire from people who know what they're doing, these are your guys! Highly recommend!
We have been dealing with the team at Vermont Hire for several years. Their service, pricing, available equipment and, most importantly for us, equipment reliability is great. Well done!
