    Why would you hire a ute when you can just buy yourself a Raptor for daily commutes and the odd job?

    • Scrooge McDeal on 03/07/2024 - 12:32

      I have put on deal for people that don't have a big car and might need a ute to take their purchases home. It would be cheaper than paying delivery for bulky items.

        Yeah sorry, was a piss take @ all the (profanity) that unnecessarily buy utes/SUVs

            @maverickjohn: All the mums/dads that get an SUV purely because they have a family of two or three kids, who never tow, go off road or use the third row of seats. Can't be bothered bending over for child seats.

            Just a bunch of sheep that buy the class because everyone else has. I've got a Skoda Superb wagon that has enough room for 5 people, fits someone 6 foot plus in the back seats, and is more functional for boot space than a Kluger I recently rented. While also being fun to drive and not a nuisance to everyone else on the road who can't see over your bloody bonnet or cops your lights in their direct line of sight.

            • maverickjohn on 03/07/2024 - 14:17

              @iMagoo: Hmmm well I don't tow but I go off-road. I instead have a roof rack for extra cargo. But the boot space is amazing when you want to put a tent, sleeping bags pram and all those other items. The height in an SUV boot space makes a fair bit of difference when loading up items.
              That's my experience and also the reason why I want a bigger one. Currently own a Renault koleos intens and looking at the new Prado.
              In saying that my second car is a smaller bmw 218i so convenient for day to day trips and still is able to fit a pram etc

                  @iMagoo: Are they off-road capable I do need a bit of ground clearance… But I might have a look anyway as the wait-list for the new Prado is ridiculous.

                      @iMagoo: Just had a look. They are still a bit low. I take the car on a bit of rocky terrain, I feel like if rip the bottom of these apart. The concept is nice but I feel like these are a bit low still. I might keep the SUV as my second car for these adventures.
                      In saying that the superb looks beautiful and is a car I'll consider in the future.

                    @maverickjohn: Outback sounds like it'd be the way to go. It's got quite high ground clearance (213mm) and a wagon. I've got one and it's quite off road capable.

                    @1st-Amendment: The logic is simple, I saw it straight away.

                    "I drive a <insert anything but a ute or SUV here>, therefore noone should drive a SUV."

            • eggboi on 03/07/2024 - 15:10

              @iMagoo: I agree. I drive a 2000 Corolla which still runs perfectly; but now I'm seriously considering upgrading to a compact SUV simply because most other cars today (utes and SUVs mainly) are twice as high as my car and I'd rather not end up flattened underneath another vehicle in the event of a crash.

            • Gusper on 03/07/2024 - 15:35

              @iMagoo: I would agree with you if sedans and wagons were designed like they were in the 80s. They had enough clearance to be taken up into the flinders ranges and drive terrible rutted dirt roads and have a great family holiday. Enter the 21st century and all sedan manufacturers were targeting the wana be race car drivers (sheep) making the cars lower and lower with even worse approach and departure angles. The reality was cars used to have to compromise to meet all customer needs, now we have choice. Personally I will go bigger until it no longer meets my need. Also 4wds retain their value much better as they are generally built to a greater strength and abuse tolerance giving them a second, third and fourth life, this makes the increased purchase cost and fuel a moot point.

          Tell you what though, the wife can't praise it enough when it comes to picking up our single kid from the school across the road. We can finally fit all his stuff in the car and it's spacious enough to hold a takeaway coffee without feeling cramped. Great at the shops too, for some reason people never park in the spots either side, it's almost like it takes 3 spaces all to itself.

          And you can't do that with a trailer and a regular car?
          A trailer (if you don't want to hire one for 2cents from Bunnings) and a small car won't take up much more space than your Ram probably does already.
          I know a guy who pulls a trailer with his old Corolla. I admit it's not the ideal car, but good enough for odd jobs. He once helped me move a sofa bed.

        I get that it can look like that although I'm not pretending to be a tradie, I'm mainly WFH and I bought mine mainly as a 4x4 and kitted out for camping and some longer trips I've got planned in the future up the coast and over to WA. Also want to be able to tow the caravan in the near future.
        I think it's odd that some tradies have a ute with a tub and never use it for 4x4 or towing when they would be better off with a van.

          I believe the $1500 bond doobey refers to was for the utes and hire vehicles. The bond for trailers is $100

          Been a while since I looked into the utes and I had the exact same reaction to doobey.

          Edit: Looks like it is now $500 for day rates:

          All hires need to pay a deposit on a credit/debit-credit account only on commencement of hire. The credit card holder must be present to sign for the credit card on commencement of hire and will need to be present with the same credit card on completion of hire in order to refund the deposit. Standard deposit for hourly hire rates $200; longer time hires of a day rate or longer, interstate or overseas license is $500.

        Read the fine prints, maybe I'm over thinking it, it's usually all good when nothing happens.

        But if there was an incident, not having a reasonable purchase (something that genuinely requires a trailer to transport) may lead to an unfavourable situation.

    Good deal. I've used it a few times and it's always been easy.

    Something to note: You can rent the ute (or van) for 2 or 4 hours, which gives you a lot more time to work with. But those don't come with included kilometers. By the time you factor the 39c/km in, you're almost always better off going with the full day. For shorter trips I advise checking out GoGet. I have yet to use them, but the price is good for vans. If you have a parent, you can sign up for the seniors plan which comes with no monthy charge

      Senior plan is a good tip.

    I've often travelled from Melbourne airport to a nearby Bunnings and hired the ute for three days to do up a house (mulch, pavers, tree clippings).

    Great money saver and the ute gets the job done easy and doubles as transport

    Beats any airport rate hands down….

    I've even been allowed to park it overnight in the Melbourne CBD Bunnings for free… Ozbargain bonus points earned

    All these comments about big SUVs and Utes, people getting dirty and salty over sarcasm and wit going over their heads.

    And I'm just sitting here in WA, wondering if the other states have always been charged to borrow a trailer from Bunnings for a few hours? It's free here with a purchase, and a deposit.

    2 cents too many!

    Just realised that's a pretty catchy slogan. If you like you can all use that line to protest down at Bunnings, maybe drive there in your giant SUVs and Ute's. ;)

      It's free in all States and Territories, it's just online states $0.02 cents charge, which it's not true. But I have put that price on title, because that's what it says online.

    Can you hire a trailer from one store and return it to another store?
