You can make payment online using all major credit or debit cards.

Full payment is required upon order. Until full payment is received, your order is not confirmed.

No. Here at easyToolhire, we use a pre-authorisation system. This enables our sales team to check if your ‘order’ can be fulfilled before accepting it. You will be notified of order acceptance / decline of your order by email, normally the same working day that you submit your order. Don’t worry, you don’t get charged twice!

A pre-authorisation is a temporary hold (sometimes called a ‘pending transaction’) on your credit or debit card. Your bank might have already notified you of this, and you don’t need to do anything — we just wanted to make you aware of it. Only once your order is confirmed by our sales team will your card be actually charged.

If we have to decline your order for whatever reason, we simply cancel your pre-authorisation payment, meaning that we won’t call for the funds. Please note that your bank might occasionally reserve («ringfence») the funds for up to 5 days, and unfortunately we can’t speed up this process from our end. You can speed this up by simply calling your bank.

This is returned to you in full at the end of the hire process, assuming that you return all the hire items to us in the quantities and condition that we originally hired them to you.
