It costs nothing for an owner to list a trailer for hire on localtrailerhire.com.au. People looking to rent a trailer pay a small service fee on top of the hire price.
The average annual return for trailers on the marketplace was $2,343.72 during FY2021. That's an average of one hire a week (52 times a year).
You can set pick-up and return hours when creating your listing (and update them any time). You can have multiple pick-up and return windows per day, and different settings for each day of the week. If you're only available for pick-up and return before and after work hours this is no issue. Customers will only be able to book pick-up and return during the hours you set.
You can also set "unavailable times" whenever your trailer is going to be unavailable (e.g. when you want to use it yourself) and customers won’t be able to place any bookings that overlap these periods.
You can find these settings under "My listings" then "Manage availability".
