Hiremaster Wellington
Hiremaster offers equipment and expertise to support a wide range of events, from large scale festivals and events, to private parties for milestone birthdays, corporate functions and weddings.
Standard transport fees are $130 + GST. This allows for us to deliver and pickup hire equipment to and from your chosen location within the Wellington region during normal business hours.
Update 7th April 2026
Middle East Fuel Crisis: Due to the ongoing fuel crisis and costs outside our control, we unfortunately have to apply a temporary "Fuel Surcharge" to cover significantly increased transport costs that we are experiencing. The fee will be $30 on a standard transport fee. The $30 fee will apply for up to $200 of transport costs. For transport costs over $200 an additional 15% surcharge will be applied to the transport fee component of the contract. This fee is set based on current (early April 2026) market conditions and will be subject to review.
This is not a decision we wanted to make and we appreciate that these increased costs may be an inconvenience to you, our customers. An alternative option is that we are happy to work with you to organise collection and return of your order through our store - which is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm.
We will be reviewing the situation as it evolves, and as fuel costs ease, we hope to see the temporary surcharge reduce and ultimately be removed.
The rates you see on this website are for a single hire period (1 - 3 days). Once you have advised your hire start and finish dates, along with your event date and duration, we will advise in the reply if there will be additional fees for the hire term.
As we are not open on weekends, one hire period will cover the hire from Friday to Monday.
The delivery charge is dependent on where the order is going to and the quantity of items ordered.
The minimum charge for a Wellington CBD delivery/pickup is $130 +GST, and this does include pickup.
This is a starting point for small orders and will increase depending on the size of the order and for bulky items that require more staff or have more complexity in terms of access to the delivery location. All other suburbs in the Wellington region will be assessed on a job-by-job basis.
For more information please contact the showroom at showroom@hiremaster.co.nz or 04 385 2000.
Yes, there is a charge for work done outside our business hours. The rate depends on how many people are required to work, the time and day and also what needs to be done. Rates start from $80 + GST but it is best to contact the showroom to discuss your needs.
All the equipment is your responsibility for the duration of the hire. If anything is damaged or lost, then the replacement value or cleaning/repair charge for this item will be taken from the bond or credit card.
We recommend booking items with as much advance as possible, generally at least one month during peak season of November-March. Outside of these times, a couple of days notice is normally fine but we suggest getting in touch early to avoid disappointment.
If you are not an account holder with Hiremaster then the order needs to be paid before you take away the equipment. If you are getting the items delivered then payment is required the day prior to the delivery to ensure that the delivery times can be met. If you are picking up the equipment then payment on pickup is fine.
