How Much Does Portable Generator Hire Cost?

Portable generator hire typically costs between £50 and £200 per day, depending on the generator's size and output capacity. The wattage of the generator plays a crucial role in determining the cost: smaller models, such as those under 3,000 watts, are more affordable, while larger units exceeding 10,000 watts, aimed at powering extensive setups, cost more.

We provide generators suitable for different applications, from camping and outdoor events to construction sites and emergency backup, ensuring reliability and efficiency.

Additional factors such as the duration of the hire and any special delivery requirements, like delivery to remote areas or after-hours accessibility, can also affect the price. Whether you require a generator for a single day or an extended period, we have flexible options.

How Do I Maintain a Portable Generator?

To maintain a portable generator, we recommend regular servicing according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Routine tasks include checking oil levels, replacing air filters, and inspecting the fuel system for leaks or obstructions.

It's essential to change the oil after every 50 to 60 hours of operation to keep the engine running smoothly. Additionally, cleaning or replacing spark plugs can prevent ignition issues.

It's also important to store the generator in a covered location to protect it from the elements, ideally in a dry, well-ventilated area to avoid moisture buildup, which could lead to rust or corrosion. Inspect electrical connections periodically, as loose or corroded terminals can affect performance.

Proper maintenance, including testing the generator under load every three to six months, ensures optimal performance and prolongs the generator's lifespan, minimising downtime and repair costs.

Arranging a portable generator hire with us usually takes one to two days from enquiry to delivery, depending on availability.
