Before you book plant hire in Merton
- Decide between self-drive (you operate it) and operated hire (they supply the driver).
- If you are operating on a site, ask whether the site needs a CPCS or NPORS card - many do.
- Ask what delivery and collection cost; heavier machines come on a low-loader and it is often charged separately.
- Ask about damage waiver, fuel policy and what counts as a full day.
