Truck Hire Brenchley

Name Your Drivers Before Anything Else

Decide first who might take the wheel, because a hire agreement names its drivers and nobody else may drive. Check each licence is current and the physical documents can be produced at collection. If a named driver would struggle with a larger vehicle, say so early.

Describe the Load as It Truly Is

Describe your load honestly, even one bulky item, such as a workshop bench bound for a relative's garage, shapes the vehicle you are offered. Give its rough weight and dimensions, and say whether it needs a tail lift or a second pair of hands at either end.

Batch Every Question Into One Message

An enquiry costs nothing, so spend it well. Ask in your first message about insurance, the excess, cover for the goods, mileage, fuel, the deposit and the documents wanted at collection. Nothing counts as included unless it is written down.

Test the Hours Against Your Real Week

Judge the hours against your real diary, not the tidy one. Collection, paperwork, loading, unloading and refuelling all eat into the day. Ask for pick-up and return times in writing, and raise the possibility of an extra day while the booking is still forming.
