When making a budget for a project, the most important thing to ask is, "How much will it cost?" The same goes for hiring plants. You know you need a mini digger, but you need to find out how much it costs.
We can't give you a fixed price because it depends on the machine and what you need, but this guide will show you how much it usually costs to hire a mini digger hire in Dublin. This will help you understand what you're paying for and how to get the best deal.
What is included in the hire price?
A "day rate" usually means that you can rent the machine for a full 24 hours or a set 8-hour workday. When you "dry hire," you rent the machine and use it yourself. This is how most small trades and do-it-yourself jobs are done.
Things That Change the Final Price
The base is the daily rate, but there are a number of things that will change the final bill.
This is the most important thing. A micro digger that weighs 0.8 tonnes or 1 tonne and is made for small spaces will cost less per day than a 3-ton mini digger that can dig deeper and is more powerful.
One day is the shortest rental period, but most rental companies give better deals for longer rentals. A "weekend rate," like having it delivered on Friday night and picked up on Monday morning, or a full "weekly rate" will be much cheaper per day than renting it for just one day. It's usually a good idea to book your job for the whole week if you think it might take two days so you don't feel rushed.
You can't drive mini diggers on the road. You need a truck or trailer to move them to and from your Dublin site. The cost of this transportation service is usually added to the rental rate. This price covers the driver, the gas, and any special tools that are needed.
"Dry hire," which means you run it, is normal, as was said before. The other choice is "wet hire," which means that the machine comes with a trained and certified operator. Of course, this costs a lot more because you have to pay for both the machine and the professional's daily rate. But sometimes it's better to do it this way when the job is hard.
Your digger will come with regular buckets for digging. If you need a special attachment, like a hydraulic breaker for concrete or a post-hole auger, this will cost you more to rent.
The "Value" vs. "Cost" Conversation
It's easy to just call five places and choose the one with the lowest price when you need to rent a mini digger in Dublin. It might be a mistake.
Look for value, which is not the same as price. Where does value come from?
• A machine that is up-to-date and reliable: A cheap but old digger that breaks down in the middle of the day is a disaster.
• Delivery on time: A company that shows up when they say they will.
• Great service: a clear safety briefing and helpful advice.
• Prices are clear: The final bill doesn't have any extra charges.
