Why Hire & What We Offer

Some of our most common questions and scenarios 

1 I am younger than 25/ older than 70 can I still drive your lorry.
   Mostly yes, we contact our insurers and they will contact the underwriters
   usually there will be a small fee to pay.
2 Can I have more than 1 driver.
 
  Yes we can add 1 additional driver for no extra cost.
 
3 I  passed my test after 1997 can I still drive the lorry
 
  Yes you can our lorries are all 3.5 tonn therfor there are no restrictions and
   no need to take any additional test.
 
4  Will the lorry carry a 17.2
 
   Yes the lorries will carry even up to 18hh but are restricted on weight 
   they have a max carrying capacity of up to 1150kg   . Most big horses ie 16.2
   will weigh anything from 500gk upwards.
 
5 My horse is not a good traveller in a trailer will he travel better in a box.
 
   Because all of our lorries are rear facing this has been proven to aid more    
   comfortable stress free travelling.
 
6 What is included in the price
  
   For a 1 day hire the price starts at £95.00, this  includes full insurance cover
   Equestrian Support Services Breakdown cover and   we send the lorry out with
   a full tank of deisel, we ask that the tank is returned full.
 
7 When can I pick up the lorry / trailer as I have an early start
 
   Wherever possible we allow you to pick the lorry / trailer the evening before
   this is largely dependant on when they come back from a previous days hire,
   although they are usually ready to collect by 8pm, we therfor ask that the lorry 
   is returned within a 24 hour time period,to help everyone get out on time.
   We do stress that we are very flexible and will accomodate as much as we  
   can.
 
8 Can I state which lorry I want to take out.
 
   We are unable to guarantee which lorry we will have available, they are all 2  
   stall rear facing lorries and will do exactly the same job.   
 
9. I am unable to keep my booking will I loose my deposit ?  
 
    We understand particularly with horses that things can go wrong at the
    last minute, therefor as part of being fully flexible we allow you to carry
    your deposit over to another date this must be redeemed within 6 months.
