Some contractors source equipment hire through Facebook Marketplace or private sellers. While prices can appear lower, these arrangements typically lack insurance, maintenance records, and breakdown support. Here's how BuildHire compares for agriculture & farming contractors in Sydney.
| Feature | Informal Hire Sources | BuildHire ✓ |
|---|---|---|
| Insurance | Typically uninsured | Fully insured fleet |
| Maintenance | Unknown service history | Serviced before every hire |
| Breakdown support | None | Same-day breakdown response |
| Delivery | Self-collect typically | Delivery and collection included |
