“Easy to use, fairly seemless process”

Hired furniture trailer. It was big and spacious and perfect for our move. Good time have minimal interaction with service reps. And there were plenty of locations to choose from (Melbourne)Would hire again.

“Absolute disappointment”

When you install new software and mess up the trailer locations with another site is not the hirer's fault and to be spoken to the way we were and made to wait over 1.5 hours at site to hire item was a disgrace and then to pay full price no discount no apology nothing. Happy to say other companies will be getting my future business. Thank you

The socket on the trailer was damaged and I had to do a ad hoc repair. The service starion guy was v sympathetic and helpful and the call centre took charge of the problem when I reported the problem the next day but I still spent a couple of hours rewiring the trailer at midnight.

The trailer hired was overpriced for what it was. The quality of the trailer was poor and bordering on unsafe. The payload of the trailer was inadequate and this was not clearly communicated when hiring. The service station was originally unable to locate an appropriate cable for the trailer. The service station closed at 8pm meaning the trailer was unable to be returned when the job was complete and had to be stored overnight. The service station did not allow me to keep the padlock and key in order for me to return the trailer after closing. All in all pretty poor and its doubtful I would ever use again or recommend that anyone else does.

Everything was generally fine, however I was a frustrated that I had to clean rubbish out of the trailer. Also, the automated process at the servo is a bit clunky.

There MUST be warnings that you 1) do not provide ANY straps to secure the vehicle on the platform 2) your platform will NOT accommodate any modern vehicle as the ramps are short and platform sits tall. 3) OTR staff knows nothing.

We were able to move house in 1 trip using this service and hiring a 13x6 trailer. The self service options to book in and out the trailer made it even easier

Was simple to arrange and pay for. Parking area for trsilvers was a bit to be admired. One person parked theirs back over the line and left about 10mm between other trailers to work with

Convenient for a short term pick up when needed at the last minute. Affordable rates. The self serve kiosk was easy to use.

The trailer was in good order and was easy to tow. All lights worked. I would probably use this service again.

Positive apart from the age of the float could do with more regular maintenance that's my opinion the side door needed to be tied shut

I'I was truly disappointed with my hire experience.
I arrived at the garage at 12.40 and tried to pick up my hire ute. The staff struggled to complete the hire as the ute had not been unlocked on their system and they were unable to release the key to me. After 30 minutes and a phone call to moveyourself.com.au, they were able to give me the keys. I then went to get the ute started but it wouldnt go. I then walked back to the garage and they called them again as you they neglected to remotely enable the vehicle.
Finally, I managed to leave with the ute, 45 minutes after I'd first entered the garage.
If that wasnt bad enough, I checked the refund of deposit in my bank to find there was not a full refund. I assume this is because they thought I did 156kms when in actual fact, I did 92.8 kms. When i entered the car, the previous hire had 63.5 kms and as part of the remote enabling, I suspect they have added the two together.
The whole experience was been poor. Even the independent garage staff said moveyourself were a totally disorganised company.
Tried to resolve the complaint with a guy called Xavier Bontemps at moveyourself.com.au. It was the worst customer service I've received in years. He asked ME to call HIM to discuss it! He couldnt have been less interested if he'd tried.

Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Simple to book online, making it quick to finalise in shop. Had one small problem connecting and the servo guy came out and helped me fix it.

All pretty easy. Just a few hold ups at the 7 eleven with them helping other customers. Overall the experience to hire a trailer is pretty simple

No problems, very happy. A straightforward trailer hire, and we upgraded to a larger one, which was no problem.

Felt a bit vulnerable with the return process. No one to verify trailer returned in original condition.
