Crate Hire were great to deal with
Crate Hire were great to deal with and even proactively reduce my hiring cost when I returned the skate. Crates are also a great eco friendly alternative- I would definitely use this service again
Excellent service and reasonable prices.
I have been using The Crate Hire…
I have been using The Crate Hire Company for many years. They are always very helpful, professional and accommodating. The crates are always clean and available for a reasonable price. All staff members we have encountered are friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for providing our company with the support it has required over the years especially Lorraine & Toni.
Great experience with Crate Hire
Really great service - good communication, very helpful and friendly delivery driver, and the crates worked really well for my move. Moving company liked working with the crates, they stored our belongings much better than cardboard, less waste and the pick up date gave us an incentive to unpack quickly!
Thank you!
Outstanding
Easy and simple booking process, very reasonable rates, and exceptional service- from delivery to operations. Prompt delivery, clean crates, courteous and responsive service- with a special thanks to Toni at the main office who went the extra mile to provide a solution to my problem.
Professional friendly service
Professional friendly service. Crates arrived sparkling clean and spotless. I even requested a last minute extension and they were able to accommodate the change. Will be using Crate Hire again and have already recommended them to friends. Thank you
Very straightforward process
Very straightforward process and helpful staff available by e-mail. Only recommendation to improve is to communicate when crates will be delivered/collected in advance (even just 'delivered by 1pm' and to be collected between 1pm and 6pm)
Really great service
Really great service - all went smoothly. The boxes are far sturdier than cardboard boxes which worked well for our move.. and we didn’t feel bad about all the packaging afterwards. The drop off and pick up was seamless. No issues at all. Highly recommend.

Very professional service fast and efficient and staff very helpful.
Could not have moved without them.
Hired a 4 bedroom house crate package. Crates were delivered and collected promptly as requested. Crates themselves were excellent for packing, stacking and keeping fragile goods secure. Would highly recommend. Could not have moved without them.
Lovely crates
Mostly great customer service, and lovely clean crates.
Easy to extend hire as needed. But delivery and pickup to/from Cambridge was expensive (price varies with location), and I never received the promised notification of time window for pickup. Fortunately I was ready when they turned up at 7:45 am.
Very quick and clear responses
Very quick and clear responses, easy to organise delivery & collection, very helpful when speaking on the phone. Will use again!
Extremely easy to work with.
