The business is now owned by Mike and Ursula Hamblin and is a locally owned and operated business serving Albury and surrounding areas.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Hamblin Hire is a family owned equipment hire business serving Albury and the surrounding border region, and the feedback gathered from customers centres on the breadth of gear available and the assistance provided by the team. Several reviewers describe staff as friendly and genuinely willing to help, with Laura and Annette singled out for their knowledge and patience, while Scott is named for explaining how to use a hired tool safely. A recurring theme is the range of equipment on hand, from machines and tarpaulins to tools for renovating and wallpaper stripping, and customers note that hire rates compare well with expectations.

Several accounts note being guided towards the right item for the job, including a case where wet weather prompted a call suggesting a more suitable machine. When a machine failed, someone attended within the hour and no charge was applied. Last minute requests handled without fuss and sound advice on technique appear throughout the accounts, alongside comments about fair pricing and an honest local operation that keeps repeat hirers returning.

We've hired a few machines from these guys now, and every time they have been well priced, friendly, helpful and kind. When we had machine failures, they sent someone out to have a look within the hour, and then didn't charge us. They also gave us a call when the weather wasn't looking great, suggested we may be better off with a different machine due to rain, and gave us something better suited.

Really impressed with the service from Laura & the team at Hamblin Hire! A last minute call on Friday and thanks to their knowledge of equipment had me geared up to tackle my project. Great to see a family owned and operated business on the border, both Laura and her partner were working on Saturday and quickly swapped something over for me so I could keep going. Will definitely be using Hamblin Hire in the future!

Dealt with Hamblin Hire for years and have always been reasonably priced. Not now, absolutely over the top. I should’ve asked the hire cost, was stunned of the hire for a concrete core drill. $327 to hire for one 75mm hole. Contractor price to do it $250. Asked the question, otherwise you get ripped.

Laura from Hamblin hire has been an absolute breeze to work with. I have needed to hire a few things for my wedding and she has been so helpful along the way. Nothing is too big of an issue and no question is a silly question. The team are friendly and you can trust every recommendation they make. They have a great range to hire from.
