If the load you want to move will fit in a ute, then see the guys at ute hire on The Gold Coast to get a great deal, but before you rush into hiring a ute, consider these things:
- Why Hire a Ute?
When you hire a ute you know you’ll get a late model vehicle that is well maintained and ready to go. There will be no problems with Rego or insurance as these are all covered in your hire agreement. (You can, of course, opt for more insurance cover if you want.)
- Finding The Right Fit
Take an assessment of your load so you know its weight and overall demotions to ensure the ute you hire will easily fit your load as ute trays come in different dimensions. Some utes have fold down sides for ease of loading while others are best loaded from the tailgate at the back.
If your load is very heavy, make sure it’s within the vehicle’s weight limits or get a heavy duty ute with double wheels, heavy springs and suspension. The guys at ute hire on the Gold Coast will be able to advise you about this type of issue
Maybe you will need a roof rack for long items or a tow bar if you wish to tow a trailer
- Security
Do you need a covered and lockable ute, so everything is safe if you have to leave the ute unattended for a while or if you’re worried about rain or sun damage to your stuff?
- Plan Your Route
Most roads will easily accommodate a standard ute, but some parking areas and off road facilities may have steep inclines, sharp corners, low bridges or doorways, so it’s a very sensible thing to take a look if possible where you need to go in your ute.
If you’re planning going off road to pick up or drop off a load you may need four wheel drive, especially if it’s wet or has soft ground
- Load Securing
