About trailer hire in Melbourne
Melbourne is Australia's most liveable city and one of the busiest trailer hire markets in the country. Every weekend, thousands of Melburnians are moving house, doing tip runs, hauling garden waste, or transporting vehicles — and TrailerConnect connects them directly with local trailer owners across all of metropolitan Melbourne.
Whether you're clearing out in Carlton, moving furniture in Frankston, hauling green waste in Ringwood, transporting a car to the Mornington Peninsula, or skip-binning an alternative in the outer suburbs — there's a local trailer owner near you. With listings in Melbourne's inner suburbs, eastern suburbs, western suburbs, Melbourne's north, and the Mornington Peninsula, cage trailers, box trailers, enclosed trailers, and car trailers are all available close to where you need them.
Trailer hire in Melbourne through TrailerConnect costs significantly less than national hire yards — cage and box trailers start from around $20 per day (most between $35 and $80), with no booking fees and no one-way surcharges.

Local tips for towing in Melbourne
- Inner Melbourne has very limited street parking — check with your owner about pickup logistics if you're in the CBD or inner suburbs.
- CityLink and EastLink tolls apply to some routes. Most trailers aren't linked to e-tags, so check if you need a day pass.
- Council hard rubbish runs are popular in spring — book early as trailers fill up fast in October and November.
