How do I book equipment to hire?

To make an equipment booking with Hirepool, there are three ways to do this

1) Ordering online at www.hirepool.co.nz

2) Calling your local Hirepool branch

2) Calling your Hirepool Sales Rep

 

Booking via our website is the recommended option as this allows you to make bookings 24/7, plus it allows our staff to have the equipment ready to go before you arrive meaning we can provide you with a simple and speedy hire experience. When booking online there is no payment required up front and is made at the time equipment is picked up or delivered.

Existing Hirepool trade account customers can order equipment online and have it charged to their Hirepool trade account. If you haven’t done this before, it is a quick simple process to set up your online trade user account, click the link below    https://cart.hirepool.co.nz/register-trade

Non-Hirepool trade account customers can also order equipment online and will need to have a credit/debit card to secure the booking, however, only a $1 pre-authorisation will be charged to the card at the time of booking. Your card will be charged for the full hire amount at the time the equipment is collected or delivered. To set up your online account for making bookings click the link below https://cart.hirepool.co.nz/register  

At the time of booking, customers can choose to collect the equipment from their chosen Hirepool branch or have the equipment delivered.

Should I book equipment to hire?

Yes, it is strongly recommended that you pre-book your equipment hire with us to ensure you have a simple and speedy hire experience.

Some items are in high demand at the weekends and over holidays periods, so to ensure we have the equipment at the appropriate branch when you require it we strongly suggest you pre-book to not be disappointed.

Browse all Hiring with Hirepool FAQs

What is the minimum hire period?

Our minimum hire period for most pieces of gear is half a day (4 hours). A full day is 24 hours which is from time of collection (except metered equipment with hourly rates after 8hrs)

Browse all Hiring with Hirepool FAQs

Is a bond required for hire items?

Yes - A bond and deposit is required unless a ledger account is used, the bond required is determined by the daily rate of the machine and also the time for which you require the equipment.

The deposit or bond is payable on the day of collection, or if you require delivery to site, this will need to be taken before the equipment is delivered.

Browse all Hiring with Hirepool FAQs

When will my bond/deposit be refunded?

On return of the equipment in good condition, the total charges will be calculated and the Hirer will either pay the outstanding balance or be refunded the difference between the bond paid by the Hirer and the actual total charges. 

While electronic refunds are processed straight away it can take between 1 to 5 working days to appear in the Hirer account.

The minimum hire period with Hirepool is four hours which is half a day with a full day being eight hours.

If you book the equipment for a full day and return it within 4 hours then you will be charged for a half day instead.

Browse all General FAQs

What happens if I return the equipment late?

If you know the equipment will be returned late it is important that you inform the branch in the first instance and advise when it will be returned.

Many branches are flexible by usually a maximum of 1 hour, however it is the decision of the Branch Manager to determine whether late returns will incur a late charge.

 

Browse all General FAQs

Can I hire equipment from one branch and drop it off at a different branch?

If the branch is in the same city then this shouldn’t be a problem however if you are looking to pick up equipment from a branch in one town city and drop it off at another town/city this needs to be discussed in advance and will incur a relocation fee.

Please discuss with your Hirepool branch at time of booking and the branch staff can advise details of the relocation fee.

What type of Port-a-loo do I need to get?

Port-A-Loo stock a variety of units for different situations and events, to determine which unit is best for you depends on a number of factors:

  • What type of event are you having i.e. for a younger crowd a standard event toilet is fine, for a corporate event a deluxe unit would be better
  • Male to Female Ratio i.e. Generally speaking women want nicer toilet facilities and may need more Port-A-Loos than male quests.
  • Budget
  • Access to your venue

If you are unsure of which unit would suit your event or venue best, please don’t hesitate contact one of our staff who would be more than happy to help you out.
