How Ultihire works

Hire gear from verified owners in your area — quick to book, clear on price, and protected the whole way through.

The hire process

Six steps from "I need a digger" to "bond released".

Step 1

Find equipment

Search listings near you and filter by category, suburb, price and delivery.

Step 2

Request your dates

Pick your pickup and return dates and see the full price, fees and bond before you commit.

Step 3

Owner confirms

The owner accepts or declines. Nothing is locked in until they do, and the hire itself is paid to them, not to us.

Step 4

Condition check

Photograph the gear at pickup so its condition is documented before it leaves the yard.

Step 5

Pick up or get it delivered

Collect the equipment, or have it dropped on site where the owner offers delivery.

Step 6

Return and release

Bring it back, photograph it again, and the owner marks the hire complete and returns your bond.

Protection, built in

The same safeguards apply to every hire, without the fine print.

Verified owners

Every listing is tied to a real account, with the owner name and location shown up front.

ID-verified members

Members verify their identity before their first hire, so you know who you are handing a machine to.

Delivery where offered

Many owners deliver within a set radius, so the gear comes to the job instead of the other way around.

What it costs

No membership, no listing fee, and no commission on your hire.

Renting

The owner's rate, paid to the owner

The daily rate, delivery and bond are agreed with the owner and settled directly with them. Ultihire does not mark up the hire or take a cut of it.

Listing

Free to list

Set your own daily rate, bond and minimum hire, and keep all of it. Block out any dates you need the machine yourself.
