Pickup or Delivery

You can either collect your wheel from our Dairy Flat studio or arrange delivery within the Auckland region.

Pickup

• The Whisper-T requires two people to lift (45kg)
• The RK-55 & Aspire are more manageable to move
• We can provide one person at our end — please ensure you bring someone to assist
• Tie-down straps are included with every rental
• Please ensure the wheel is safely secured for transport

We recommend reviewing our full Terms & Conditions before collection.

Delivery

We’re happy to deliver and collect the wheel from your property within Auckland.

Delivery is charged at the IRD recommended rate of $1.16 per km, calculated from our studio to your home and back (for both drop-off and collection).

If the wheel needs to be carried upstairs or through tight access points, please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.

At checkout, you can request delivery and we’ll provide a quote. If you’d like a quote before booking, just email [email protected].

Please note: we do not currently deliver outside the Auckland region.

Identification & collection details

To keep things secure, we require proof of identification for all rentals.

Photo ID

The person receiving the wheel (either at pickup or delivery) must provide a valid driver’s licence or passport.
We will take a photo of the ID at the time of handover.

Please also bring a recent utility or council bill (e.g. rates, power, tenancy agreement) to confirm your address details.

If someone is collecting on your behalf
