Hiring for more than a day? Delivery is the same price whether the machine is with you for one day or four — so extra days work out much better value than a second trip later.
Got a neighbour who needs work done? If we can drop to two jobs on one run, the delivery splits between you. Worth asking around.
These are guides, not fixed quotes — access, timing and the exact address all matter. Ring 021 216 6812 or email gerno@terrahire.nz and we'll confirm the number for your job.
