If you’re unsure, our knowledgeable and friendly staff are happy to help in person or over the phone.
When you’re satisfied the equipment is right for you, select your hire period and head over to the checkout.
Note: If requesting hire tools online, you will not pay any money at this point
2) The Call
When we receive your request, we will check the availability of that item. If all is well, we’ll give you a call to confirm the order, take payment and arrange delivery if necessary (Fees apply). If the stock is unavailable, we’ll work with you to solve the issue.
3) The Getting
Once the request is confirmed, you can get your items. Either pop into one of our three depots or wait for delivery. You can pay for items in the shop if you like.

Et voila! You have your hire tools ready to get your job done. Greenplant’s simple three-step process allows you to get what you need fast and efficiently. Still unsure about hiring? Here are some frequently asked questions:
Do I need insurance to hire tools?
You do not need insurance to hire equipment, but it is recommended for larger, longer or more expensive requests. Hire insurance is available through Greenplant’s Plantprotect scheme or a third party. See our insurance page for more details.
Can you only hire equipment through a business?
No. You can hire equipment individually for personal projects and through a business. Greenplant welcomes all customers and will work with you to get the best equipment for your jobs.
What happens if a tool breaks during my hire period?
Our hire tools are regularly serviced and maintained to the highest standard. However, should you encounter any problems during your hire period, Greenplant are a call away for advice and help. If the problem is significant, we will assess the damage on a case-by-case basis and action accordingly.
