Make the next call count.

A clearer scope. A fairer comparison. Two simple tools to turn your shortlist into useful conversations.

01 / Compare the complete quote

A daily rate is only one line.

Enter two actual offers on the same tax basis. Enter 0 for included costs. Use chargeable days from each offer, including minimum hire. This comparison excludes any cost you have not entered.

Supplier AComplete every field to calculate
Supplier BComplete every field to calculate

Compare equivalent machine configurations, operating hours and support before deciding.

Worked example: why the lower rate can cost more

Illustrative figures, not market prices: A quotes $250 per day for three days plus $180 delivery and $180 collection: $1,110. B quotes $290 per day with $100 delivery and $100 collection: $1,070. B is $40 lower overall. A different minimum hire, engine-hour allowance or attachment charge could change the comparison again.

02 / Prepare a useful enquiry

Give every supplier the same brief.

Write your scope once and download it to share with your shortlisted suppliers. Entries stay in this page and are cleared when you reload; nothing is submitted to us.

Before you choose an offer

Check the exact model and attachments, operating-hour allowance, fuel policy, damage terms, support and cancellation conditions. A price comparison cannot establish machine suitability.
