Commercial equipment rental vs. equipment hire

If you’ve made the smart decision not to tie up capital in commercial equipment, you now must weigh the option of commercial equipment rental against equipment hire.

Equipment hire might appear like a good solution for your business on a short-term basis, however if using frequently you need to take into account the impact to your business.

Rental vs Hiring

 × Penalties if break-out before end of contract  - Purchase the equip at any time with no penalties

Equipment hire leaves your company reliant on the hiring company.  If this is an option you use ask yourself the following questions:

• Will the equipment be available when my business needs it?
• Will the equipment be serviced and full functioning so can minimise down time?
• Does the equipment suit our exact requirements?
• Do the high costs of equipment hire add any value to our business?
