General Hiring Questions

Are there any up-front costs to pay?
Yes, there are. We require full payment prior to delivery if you hire a unit on a short-term basis (up to 12 weeks). For longer-term rental contracts, we require the first month's payments plus full transport costs in advance. If you are a new customer ordering for the first time on a long term contract, we require the first three (3) months' payments in full plus full transport costs in advance of delivery.

Is insurance included within a rental contract?
Yes – with our optional damage waiver insurance. This small extra charge can be taken at the hire contract stage and it will cover you against any accidental damage (beyond standard wear & tear) that might occur during the hire period.

Our Rental Products

Will I be supplied with brand new hire equipment?
We can’t promise brand new equipment to all customers (unless specified at quote stage), however all the hire equipment we provide is high quality, fully cleaned, repaired and tested prior to delivery. For longer-term hire contracts we can provide options for new, nearly new and refurbished equipment.

Do you supply domestic hire equipment for home use?
We supply high-quality commercial equipment mainly for commercial use rather than domestic appliances. But some smaller units may be suitable for domestic use, such as our 4 in 1 air conditioners, or smaller evaporative coolers.

Where can I find out the exact specifications of my equipment?
We include specification sheets for each product online and we also send these with the original quotation. If you can’t find the information you require then please speak to a member of our technical team.

If my unit breaks down, how long does it usually take for an engineer to arrive on site?
We aim to have an engineer on site within 2 working days after we receive a service call, unless the problem can be resolved over the phone following our trouble-shooting guides.

What is the procedure for logging service calls?
You will find our dedicated service number on your hire equipment. Call this number and provide us with the cabinet serial number and we’ll arrange for a local engineer to come and investigate the problem if it can’t be resolved over the phone.

If my unit cannot be fixed by your engineer, will it be replaced?
In the unlikely event of a unit being condemned by a qualified engineer, Cross Hire Services will arrange for a replacement unit to be provided at no extra cost to the customer.
