Cheap Plant Hire in Torquay
Plant hire costs can add up quickly on a project. Comparing prices from multiple companies in Torquay is the best way to keep costs down without compromising on equipment quality. Here is how to find the cheapest plant hire across South West.
Cheapest Plant Hire Prices in Torquay
The cheapest plant hire in Torquay is a micro digger (under 1 tonne) from £70-£100 per day or £250-£400 per week. Mini diggers (1.5t) cost £100-£150/day. Plate compactors and small rollers cost £30-£60/day. Self-drive hire is cheaper than operated hire. Weekly rates offer the best value — typically 3-4x the daily rate for 7 days. Companies in Torquay often discount longer hires further, with monthly rates at 2.5-3x the weekly rate.
How to Save on Plant Hire
Choose the smallest machine that can do the job — a micro digger is half the price of a 3-tonner. Book weekly rather than daily if your project will take more than 2-3 days. Self-drive saves the cost of an operator (£150-£250/day). Arrange your own transport if you have a suitable trailer. Plan your project carefully to minimise hire duration — have the site prepared before the machine arrives. Get 3+ quotes and mention competing prices.
