  • Frequently asked questions

    How much does it cost?

    It costs nothing for an owner to list a trailer for hire on Local Trailer Hire. People looking to rent a trailer pay a small service fee on top of the hire price.

    How much does the average trailer earn?

    Last year:

    • The average return for a single trailer on Local Trailer Hire was $2,654 for the year.
    • The best performing single trailer on Local Trailer Hire returned a whopping $12,290 for the year; it was a car trailer in NSW.

    Can I control when the trailer can be booked?

    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".

    Can I list multiple trailers?

    Yes, you can list as many trailers as you like as long as they are all available for hire.

    How and when do I get paid?

    We transfer the hire fee to you via bank transfer 24 hours after the start of the hire. It usually arrives in your bank account within 3-5 days.

    Does my trailer need to be registered?

    Yes. In most states, trailer registration is mandatory. In Victoria, small trailers may be unregistered but when they are used for business purposes, like being hired out, they do need to be registered. Unregistered trailers are not able to be listed on Local Trailer Hire.

    What happens if something gets broken?

    As per the rental terms, customers take full responsibility for the trailer while it is in their possession. Local Trailer Hire provides a $2,000 guarantee. A damage excess of up to $1,000 is payable by the customer. Full details can be found in the rental contract.

    Can my trailer be listed under a business name?

    You'll need to enter a personal name when signing up to Local Trailer Hire. You can then enter your business details when setting up payouts.

    Can you help me find a good deal on a new trailer?

    We have a partnership with a trailer wholesaler, and can offer exclusive pricing for trailers to be listed on Local Trailer Hire – please send an email to hello@localtrailerhire.com.au and we can explore further.
