Before you book trailer hire in Kent
- Check you can tow it. Since 16 December 2021 a standard car (B) licence lets you tow a trailer up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass, with no extra test.
- Check your car can pull it. The towing limit is in the handbook and on the vehicle's VIN plate, and the loaded trailer must stay under it.
- Ask whether the trailer has a 7-pin or 13-pin plug, and whether they lend an adaptor if your towbar is the other kind.
- Ask what the deposit is, what their insurance covers and what yours has to.
- Ask whether they deliver or it is collect-only, and what time it has to be back.

Trailer hire in Kent - common questions
How is this list of trailer hire companies in Kent ranked?
Ranked by Companies House verification, customer reviews, contact details and how complete the listing is. Paid placement is not a ranking factor. Companies that only sell, and do not hire, are listed separately below the ranking. Every company shown is a published listing on GetBrent covering Kent, and each one's score breakdown is one click away.
Can a company pay to appear higher in this list?
No. Featured and paid placement are not read by the ranking at all. A company can pay for a more prominent listing elsewhere on GetBrent, but it cannot buy a position on this page.
How much does trailer hire cost in Kent?
Prices vary by equipment, hire length and how far it has to travel. GetBrent charges no booking fee, so contact two or three of the companies below directly and compare what they quote.
Rankings are generated from listing data on the date shown and change as companies update their details and collect reviews. GetBrent is an independent directory; we take no commission on hires and no company can buy a position in this list. If you run one of these businesses and something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it.
