Trailer hire Wollongong — FAQs
Common questions about hiring a trailer in Wollongong.
How much does trailer hire cost in Wollongong?▼
Cage and box trailers in Wollongong typically cost $45–$70 per day. Car trailers and enclosed trailers range from $65–$100 per day.
What licence do I need to tow a trailer in NSW?▼
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 hire a trailer in Wollongong and travel to Sydney?▼
Yes — many Wollongong owners are happy with Sydney day trips via the M1. Check with the owner before booking if you plan to travel outside the Illawarra.
Where can I dispose of waste with a hired trailer in Wollongong?▼
Wollongong has waste facilities at Whytes Gully Waste Management Centre in Kembla Grange and Remondis at Unanderra.
