A Quick Guide on how to rent a truck on The Gold Coast

When you’re looking to rent a truck on the gold coast, whether you want to move your home, office or a few loads of rubbish from the backyard, there are a few things you should consider before looking for trucks and other rentals on The Gold Coast.

This quick guide will help you understand how to rent a truck on the Gold Coast:

• Type of load

Work out the particular type of load you want to move. Are you moving house, the office, collecting a load of building materials, bring perishable goods from the farm to the market or just have a heavy object like a grand piano to move. Knowing the load it’s approximate dimensions and weight will make a big difference to the type of truck you need to hire

• Distance

Consideration of the total distance you have to move the load can help determine the size truck you should hire. If you’re only moving a short distance, maybe you could get a smaller truck and take several loads, but if you’re going long distance, such as inter-city or inter-state you will want to make sure everything will fit comfortably inside the truck you choose to hire.

It’s also important that the truck is not too large for the load as you pay for the size of the truck, as well as the extra fuel it uses, and a big truck can be a challenge to drive.

• One way Rentals

If you're moving a long the distance, it could be expensive to bring the truck back to the depot, so ask about oneway rentals as you may not only save money, but you could save a lot of time and the accompanying stress that often goes with it

• Equipment

Often when hiring a truck it involves heavy lifting so ask about any equipment that goes with the truck to make the job easier. Often they supply things like hydraulic lifting equipment, trolleys and hand carts. Is your load perishable, you may need a refrigerated truck or at least one with an insulated body? Do you require a tow bar? Off-road capabilities? GPS or other specialised equipment?
