Lorry for hire
Sometimes you do not need a moving crew, you need a lorry and someone who knows the roads. Hire one for a single run, a return trip, or on a regular basis for distribution.
How it runs
What actually happens on the day.
Tell us the load and the route
What is going, roughly how much of it, and from where to where. We match the right vehicle to it.
Agree the price up front
One price for the trip, including the driver. No meter running while you load.
Loading help if you want it
Helpers can come with the vehicle, or you can load it yourself — your call.
Delivered and confirmed
We confirm on arrival so you are not left wondering where the load is.
Included
- Driver, fuel and tolls in the quoted price
- Ropes, lashings and covers
- Optional loading and unloading crew
- Islandwide coverage

- Can I hire by the day?
