Does HIRE IT OUT check out the hirers on this site?
No we are unable to make checks on companies or their products and have no legal liability for those finding or adding information on our site. We recommend you check on the companies and the quality of their products before paying for hire of any goods or services. Some products for hire will need to meet legal, safety or quality standards, others companies even have insurance, to cover you during their product's use.


Do you take credit cards?
No we are unable to do that at this time, your cheque for the gold and silver service must clear before we link your new page to your basic details. To aid your security when posting a pro-forma cheque in this way, we have chosen to give you our full company address which can be confirmed at company house, rather than using a P.O. Box address.
