Frequently Asked Questions
If you can’t find the answer to your question below, feel free to call us on 9874 8444 or email hire@vermonthire.com.au.
When are you open?
We’re open and hiring from 7am-5pm Monday to Friday, and from 8am to 12:30pm on Saturdays.
Where are you?
We’re at 405 Canterbury Road Vermont with entry via Trade Place.
How does the 4 hour rate work?
Hire equipment during the day and return it within 4½ hours – we give you a ½ hour grace period – or hire it overnight between 4 and 5pm and return it the next morning between 7 and 8am for the 4 hour rate.
Initially, you’ll pay the full day rate plus deposit when you take the equipment out. When you return the equipment in under 4 hours or by 8am the next morning on an overnight hire, we’ll refund the deposit and the difference between the daily and 4 hour hire rate.
Not all equipment has a 4 hour rate so check out the equipment item on our website to see if it does.
What's a weekend rate?
Hire equipment on a Saturday between 8am and 12:30pm and return it Monday between 7 and 8am for our great value weekend rate. If the equipment’s available the night before, pick it up between 3:30 and 5pm Friday for even greater value.
13 hours of usage is included for metered equipment.
Can I hire equipment for a Sunday?
Sure can. Hire the equipment Saturday anytime between 8am and 12:30pm and return it Monday between 7am and 8am for our great value weekend rate. If the equipment’s available, you can even pick it up between 3:30 and 5pm at no extra cost.
I hire all the time - what rates can you do for me?
Our loyalty rewards is made for you. 5% from each hire accrues as loyalty rewards, so long as we can email you your tax invoices, and are applied as a discount to your next hire within 6 months. So the more you hire with us, the more you save. Simple!
Can you deliver?
Yes, we deliver Monday to Friday all over Melbourne and her surrounds at very competitive prices. See how much it will cost to deliver here.
What do I need to bring to hire equipment?
All you need to bring is a current Victorian driver’s license for identification, and eftpos, visa, or mastercard for payment. We try to make the hiring process as easy as possible. Follow the link here to learn more about the hiring process.
How much is the deposit? And how and when is it refunded?
The deposit is usually 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. If you’ve brought the equipment back within 4 hours and a 4 hour rate is available, you will only be charged the 4 hour rate.
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. Learn more about the hiring process here.
What Our Customers Have to say
Helpful, knowledgeable. They offer competitive rates and a worthwhile rewards system.
Great service, reasonable prices.
These guys have gotten us out of a jam many times, always with a great attitude. They give very useful advice and try their hardest to make things work for you - case in point, I hired a 1.7t excavator yesterday on short notice, they made sure one was available and taught me how to operate it. Absolutely recommend for all hiring needs, will be coming back for many years to come.
Perfect for our needs; fast service & excellent trailer provided.
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!
