Trailer hire FAQ

Common questions about trailer hire

How do I hire a trailer on TrailerConnect?

Search by your suburb or postcode, choose a trailer type and price range, then request to book or use Instant Book on eligible listings. Once confirmed, you arrange pickup directly with the owner.

How much does it cost to hire a trailer?

Trailer hire prices on TrailerConnect start from around $35/day for basic box or cage trailers, up to $150+/day for specialty trailers. Prices are set by local owners and vary by trailer type, size, and location.

Do I need a special licence to tow a trailer in Australia?

Licence classes in Australia are set by the vehicle you drive rather than the trailer behind it, so a standard car licence covers the trailers listed here. What actually limits you is your own vehicle's rated towing capacity and towball download, both in its owner's manual. Rules differ by state, so check with your state road authority if you are unsure.

Can I list my trailer and earn money?

Yes. Listing your trailer on TrailerConnect is free. You set your own price and availability. You keep 90% of the hire fee on every completed booking, on a trailer that would otherwise sit idle.

Is trailer hire available across all of Australia?

Yes. TrailerConnect lists trailers in all Australian states and territories, including NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, ACT, and NT. Search by your suburb to see what's available near you.
