Ute Hire

Anyone over the age of 25 with a regular open drivers’ licence and a credit card can rent and drive our utes.

All vehicles are covered by 24-hour roadside assistance for all mechanical faults with the vehicle. 

Free Roadside Assistance does not cover non-mechanical defects and driver errors, such as lost keys, keys locked in the vehicle, flat battery due to lights being left on, etc. These instances will incur a $150 fee per call-out.

However, all costs are waived if the customer avails of the $5 per day Roadside Assistance package.

All Alpha vehicles which are rented have comprehensive insurance with a standard liability that is applicable to renters that may be reduced with one of Alpha’s waiver options. For passenger vehicles (hatchbacks, sedans, family cars, SUVs, 8-seater vans and Utes) the standard liability is $4,400 for drivers over 21 years of age. For more information on our Standard Liability Protection Cover visit our Terms & Conditions.

If you run a business with ongoing transportation needs, you know as well as anyone that handling maintenance, inventory and financing can be both an expense and a hassle. If you need to supplement your fleet for a short-term or longer term, our friendly team will happily provide a quote.

Here are a few tips to follow to ensure your Ute rental experience runs as smoothly as possible:

• Give yourself time to get used to the Ute.
• Drive around for a few blocks to get a feel for how it handles on the road.
• Don’t overload your Ute.
• Secure your load .
• Drive below the maximum speed limit to give yourself more time to adjust on the road.
• Give yourself ample room to turn.
• Use your side mirrors and take note of any blind spots.

If you run a business with ongoing transportation needs, Alpha Ute Hire offers affordable long-term rates. If you need to supplement your fleet for the short or longer term, call us today at 1300 227 473 today or book online.

The following are not covered by the Total Protection Liability Waiver, Premium Protection Liability Waiver, or the Collision Damage Liability Waiver:

• Reversing damage
• Overhead damage
• Undercarriage damage

Please note that you will not have the benefit of Alpha’s insurance if the rental vehicle is driven on unsealed roads.

Each state and territory may have their own local restrictions so we would suggest referring to your local state department of transport. You should always make sure that your load is covered at all times while driving.

Our utes can carry a maximum load of 1 tonne, which should be more than adequate for single-room moves, haul construction materials and other heavy projects.

The dimensions of the tray are 2.m x 1.8m. You may measure your load beforehand to make sure they fit. If not, we recommend going for one of our low-cost truck rentals.

Since the renter can only sign up for one rental agreement at a time, the driver of the second vehicle may present their own driver’s licence for a second rental agreement. Alternatively, for the price of 2 utes, you may consider one of our Moving Trucks and sign up for an extra driver so you can take turns resting and driving the vehicle.

Unfortunately, no. Our company does not encourage bringing small children and infants with our commercial on board our commercial vehicles.

While it may vary depending on the specific model, our Toyota Hilux is powered by a 2.7L Petrol Engine to match the power needed.
