Practical guides for modern plant hire.
In-depth guides written by people who have run the operation themselves — covering condition reporting, hire agreements, invoicing, and the work that decides whether a month is a good one or a bad one.
Rental customer portal: how to give customers real-time equipment availability
In 2026 your customers expect to see what's available and book it themselves, without calling and without waiting until Monday. A rental customer portal replaces phones, email and spreadsheets with a live view of what's actually free. Done well it saves you 10+ hours a week, kills double bookings, and lets the fleet earn while you're asleep.
Best plant hire and rental software in Europe 2026: 5 systems compared
Five platforms dominate the European plant hire software market: Booqable, MCS Rental Software, Point of Rental, inspHire and MovoGo. They don't solve the same problem. If you run plant hire or a construction-adjacent rental business and want booking, invoicing, condition reports and a digital hire agreement in one place, the comparison points at MovoGo. If you need a 30-year enterprise platform or a generic SaaS for event gear, the answer is different.
Pre-hire condition reports in plant hire: how to document equipment condition and avoid disputes
Without time-stamped photos, a standardised checklist and the customer's digital signature, you can't realistically invoice for damage, missing fuel or a £200 valet. A digital condition report stored against the hire is what turns a damage dispute from a fight you quietly absorb into a charge line on the invoice.
