Terms of use

Trailer Hire Near Me (part of the NearMe network) is an Australian classifieds platform to buy, sell and hire trailers and trailer parts. By creating an account or using the site you agree to these terms.

The marketplace is a venue

Listings are created by sellers and hire operators, and every sale or hire happens directly between the two parties involved. We are not a party to any sale or hire, we do not hold stock, take commission, process payment for a listing, or guarantee any trailer or part's condition, roadworthiness or fitness. Inspect before you pay; our safety guide explains how.

Accounts

You need an account to list a trailer or part or message a seller. Keep your login to yourself and give us accurate details. Business sellers who display a trading name must be entitled to use the ABN they enter. Launch business setup checks format and duplicate use but is not independent registry or ownership verification. We can suspend or close accounts that break these terms or the listing rules, and remove any listing that does.

Listings and fees

Free Private includes up to five active ads. Private Seller Plus is A$14.95 per month including GST for up to 25 active ads and the stated private-seller tools. Business seller accounts are unlimited and free at launch. A featured boost is A$9.95 for 30 days. There is no paid repost product. A paid benefit starts only after Stripe confirms successful payment. If Plus renewal payment fails, paid tools and capacity pause immediately without removing existing public ads; the seller may restore payment or reduce to the Free limit. A failed boost payment never starts or extends a boost. Refund rights under Australian Consumer Law remain.

Acceptable use

No unlawful, stolen, counterfeit or prohibited items (see the listing rules), no misleading listings, no harvesting other users' details, and no interfering with the service. Messages sent through the site must relate to buying, selling or hiring on it.

Encumbrance, identity and the PPSR

Sellers must disclose money owing on a trailer and must not advertise an encumbered trailer as unencumbered. A trailer's VIN, chassis or identification number must be intact and must match the compliance plate and the seller's paperwork; a trailer with an altered, forged or mismatched number, or with its identity otherwise disguised, must not be listed.

We do not search the Personal Property Securities Register, or any stolen-goods register, on your behalf, and a listing appearing here is not evidence a trailer is clear of debt or free of a security interest. Buyers should search the PPSR at ppsr.gov.au by VIN or chassis number before paying, and where finance is owing should pay the financier the payout figure directly. A financier can repossess an encumbered trailer from a buyer who has already paid the seller in full.

Compliance and roadworthiness

Whether a trailer may lawfully be registered, driven or towed on a given vehicle is a matter between the seller, the buyer or hirer, and the relevant state road authority. Descriptions of ATM, GTM, brake fitment, registration status, roadworthy or safety-certificate status, and compliance with VSB1 or the Road Vehicle Standards Act 2018 (RVSA) are the seller's representations, not ours. Buyers and hirers remain responsible for confirming a trailer suits their own tow vehicle's towing capacity and towbar rating before towing it.

Hiring a trailer

A hire listing connects a hirer with the trailer's owner or a hire operator; the site is not a party to the hire. The daily, weekend or weekly rate, the bond or damage-waiver amount, what is included, and any damage or insurance liability are agreed directly between the hirer and the owner or operator, on whatever terms they set for that booking. We make no warranty about a hired trailer's roadworthiness, insurance cover, or fitness for the hirer's tow vehicle, and we are not responsible for a booking that falls through, a bond dispute, or damage arising during a hire period.

Optional marketing

Marketing is never required to use the marketplace. At listing time you may separately opt in to relevant Trailer Hire Near Me and NearMe Ads network marketing by email and/or SMS. Service and account messages are not marketing. You can withdraw either consent from Account preferences at any time; a network opt-out always takes priority.

Content

You own the photos and text you post and you licence us to display them for running and promoting the marketplace. Do not post content you have no right to use.

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law. Beyond what that law requires, we provide the platform as-is and are not liable for dealings between buyers, sellers and hirers, or for loss arising from a listing, message, sale or hire conducted through the site.
