Rates:
The longer you hire the greater your discount.
Off peak rates are lower than peak due to demand in school holidays which are sometimes booked several months in advance. School holidays are shown in the table below.

6/7/2024 21/7/2024
27/9/2024 13/10/2024
23/12/2024 30/01/2024

PERIOD PEAK RATE OFF PEAK RATE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE COST
36 days $154 $143 5 days peak $770

24 weeks $132 $121 3 weeks off peak $2541
Longer Check
Drop off and pickup days are included in the calculation of the number of days so if you pickup Saturday and return the following Saturday it is 8 days hire.
For example if you were booking the Base Station from 1/10/2019 to 5/10/2019 these are in school holidays and so the peak rate applies.

5 days x $154 per day (Base Station 36 days peak) $770 + Bond

If the period covers off peak and peak dates you need to calculate the number of days of each. For example 17/12/2019 to 24/12/2019 includes 6 days off peak (17,18,19,20,21,22) and 2 days Peak (23,24th). The total days are 8 (12 weeks discounted rates apply). The rental amount would therefore be:

6 x $132 (off peak 12 weeks) + 2 x $143 (peak 12 weeks) $1078

In addition to the hire rates a $1000 bond is payable on hire. This will be refunded within 7 days of return in the condition is was provided in. Deductions will be made based on the list at the bottom of this page.
If you do not have an electric brake controller, an external controller can be provided for a one off hire fee of $50.
Onsite delivery, pickup and setup can be arranged if within a reasonable distance of Forestville subject to availability. This will be at a rate of $80 per hour to cover fuel costs and the owners time. The time cost is calculated based on the round trip time for the delivery and pickup, plus setup time. For example if the location is 45 minutes away:
Delivery and setup 0.75 hours x 2 for the round trip + 0.5 hour onsite setup
Packup and return 0.75 hours x 2 for the round trip + 0.5 hours pack up.
Total cost 0.75 x 4 travel + 1 setup/packup 4 x $80 $320.
A 3600W petrol generator is available to hire for $50 per day to run the air conditioner, microwave, kettle, toaster and other 240V appliances when you are not connected to mains power. Note that you should stagger using heavy current devices so they are not all running simultaneously, which can draw too much power.
