Cheap Truck Hire in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Logan and Gold Coast

Anyone over the age of 25 with a regular open drivers’ licence and a credit card can rent and drive our trucks. What’s more, our trucks are automatic.

Every truck in the Alpha fleet has a hydraulic tailgate lifter. This makes moving heavy items a breeze. Just lower the lifter, load it up, press the raise button and your goods are raised to the container level. Combine this lift with a hand trolley and your move is much easier to manage.

If you run a business with ongoing transportation needs, Alpha Truck 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.

All vehicles are insured. By selecting the Liability Waiver, renters over the age of 25 can reduce their damage excess. For more details, visit our Terms & Conditions.

Driving a truck for the first time can be a little daunting, even for an experienced driver. Here are a few tips to follow to ensure your truck rental experience runs as smoothly as possible:

• Give yourself time to get used to the truck. Drive around for a few blocks to get a feel for how it handles on the road.
• Break early and often. Remember, trucks are larger and heavier than cars. They need a little extra time to come to a stop.
• Avoid cramming as much as you can into the truck and hoping for the best. As you drive, objects can move out of place and break. Save yourself the heartache and take the time to secure your items properly.
• 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 as most moving truck hire vehicles don’t have central rear-view mirrors. Take note of any blind spots, and be sure to check these, too.
• Remember that your truck is probably significantly taller than a standard car. Know the precise height of your truck, and keep this in mind when driving under bridges, overpasses, and garages.

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
• Water damage
• Hail damage
• Negligence or Abuse

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

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.

For commercial vehicles (3-tonne trucks and Pantecs) the standard liability is $6,600 for drivers over 25 years of age. If you opt into a listed liability waiver the figure above will be lower depending on the waiver selected. For more information refer to our Terms and Conditions.

Our hire truck units can accommodate a maximum weight of 3 Tonnes, which is more than enough for typical home or office relocations

To give you the best possible experience, our trucks run on Diesel Engines, since these are less likely to stall than petrol-fueled engines. 

Yes, but not to Western Australia, Tasmania or Northern Territory. Travel via barge and ferry is also prohibited.
