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".
Find equipment
Search listings near you and filter by category, suburb, price and delivery.
Request your dates
Pick your pickup and return dates and see the full price, fees and bond before you commit.
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.
Condition check
Photograph the gear at pickup so its condition is documented before it leaves the yard.
Pick up or get it delivered
Collect the equipment, or have it dropped on site where the owner offers delivery.
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.
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.
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.
