Hire procedure FAQ's
- How do I proceed?
- Choose the product you wish to hire by clicking 'customise and rent'. If you do not have a web account, you will be required to open one.
Once this has been done, you can choose the rental dates and proceed with your application. Payment must be made at the time of application, either by credit or debit card, paypal or by a credit account if you have one.
Once we receive your order, we will contact you to confirm your order details and send you your rental agreement. - How do I open a credit account?
- If you wish to open a credit account, call us on 01376 333508 and we will send you an account form. Once completed, subject to credit checks, your account will be opened and all invoices must be paid within 30 days.
- Can you reserve a tester for me?
- As long as we have a unit in stock at the time of asking, we are happy to reserve a machine for you for a later date.
