Easy pickup and drop off
Easy pickup and drop off. No issues, great vehicle, got the job done
They lost a client
Too many people to talk to. Staff making decisions that they are not authorized to make and not responsible for. Call center not prepared to deal with SERIOUS truck break downs. Branch manager not really managing anything. They think because Hireace pays a roadside assistance, they are not responsible anymore. They leave the client dealing with serious break downs. I waited for the assistance to come for more almost two hours. There are no procedures in place to deal with how to finalise the rental if a truck had to be towed (which was the case). I took photographs and called Hireace to ask how I should proceed. Call center said the branch would call in 15 minutes because they were with "a client" (as if I am not a client). There has been almost 2 hours now and no call. They just lost a client and I DO NOT recommend Hireace. I hope they pay the bond back.

Hired a Furniture trailer and when we picked it up, it was literally full of animal fecal matters.
Used to cart animal by the last customer. Told by workers that they can't do anything about it for an hour because of low staffing. Then emailed their team and was basically told "sorry, too bad" otherwise good experience 👍
AMAZING COMPANY AND THE STAFF
I booked a van for 2hrs this is the 4th time I have used Hireace mainly for long trips but this time just for 2 hrs. The guys were amazing again as usual, they had the van all ready for us ready to go as I had done this online which was so easy and then I got a follow up call after I had booked online to advise everything was confirmed and ready to go for pick up the next day, plus I used the midweek special which brought the cost down. The guys and the company are so professional I would use Hireace everytime when needed. Please dont leave the Panmure/Mt Wellington area as we do not have anyone like these guys in the area.
Great service
Great service. Thorough service and making sure the vehicle is safe and they check everything. Also noting that the truck I hired I understood the t & c’s, they took pics of the truck before I received the keys. No trouble whatsoever.

Easy systems and good communications made this an easy hire.
I really appreciated the 1:1 to better understand the quirks of the vehicle. Having the tail lift made the house shift much easier.

Trust pilot service was fabulous, and so helpful, hire of equipment top notch.
Booking was smooth, staff so helpful. Recommend hiring from this service to our family and friends.
The customer service was great
The customer service was great, Russ was very pleasant even though I was a bit grumpy at having to park a fair way up the road ( my one niggle is that I wasn’t advised there was no parking on site or close to pick up ) . The process was explained very well including insurance options.
Great job Russ you managed to put a smile on my grumpy , frazzled moving face 😁
