yes good call Damo

so maybe just $50 thats it whats a car trailer worth to hire? these things dont pay for them selves

[SkyHi_33]

usually around $80 for 24hrs

[gtrkiet]

yeah and if they are a dodgey workshop like *** *** than we can give them prank calls to pick up cars from nurioopta or sumfn. But yeah 50 bucks sounds good!

[mid life crisis]

i used to own a towing business you will want too make sure you have the right insurence once to put a car on the trailer ..ie when i backed my truck up to a car and put the cable to whinch it up i was covered by what was called hook insurence .

so if the cable broke the car owner was covered . once all 4 wheels are the tray of the truck it was called load insurence both come under a seprate policey and 2 lot's of premuim's .

you may want to check this out b4 offering the service . also seening how your effictly towing a customers car you may need a toweys lincence .

this is the main reason workshops find it cheaper just to ring a tow truck . i would not want a car of mine on your trailer not knowing what is covered and by who if you prang or the car falls off on the way to the workshop .

not trying to put you guys off its hard to make a buck in these days and times and good luck with the workshop just making you aware of what you might be up for .

cheers dean

it costs me $110 to hire for 24 hours from any servo ive been to plus a $50 deposit which i get back.

id have a flat rate, then charge after a few km's if its say more then 30-50km that needs to be driven (1 way)

that way it should cover the trailer and the whatever the tow car's general wear and tear while towing.

i'd also be buying insurence that'll cover the workshop while towing incase something happens to either car.

My work (Rob's Fuels) do a car trailer for $60 + $50 deposit for 24 hours.. Didn't realise how cheap we actually were on that.

[kralster]

Just remember things like insurance when you are towing someones car.

And towing is a great idea, imports are always breaking down

[SLY-L20]

Other than that hoist got up and running today and also got all the tools and welder in today, so we are pretty much ready to to buisiness as of tomorrow!

[Nightcrawler]

ok Ben and Simon. Thanks for ignoring my post above regarding becoming an SAU site sponsor, but if you haven't responded to me within 24 hours this post is gone and you get an official warning.

It is not fair for you to plug your business on here for free, when other businesses do the right thing and pay sponsorship fees.
