How multi-day pricing works: the full 24-hour rate is $250. Day two and day three add $200 each. Day four onward adds $150 per additional day. This makes a full seven-day hire $1,250.
Weekend pricing explained: the $400 weekend special is a fixed Friday-afternoon-to- Sunday-afternoon package at agreed collection and return times. It is separate from the normal rolling two-day rate of $450 and does not apply to any two consecutive days.
Refundable fuel bond: an additional $80 fuel bond applies to every Kanga booking. The loader leaves with a full tank and must be returned full. The bond is refunded when the machine is returned full and the hire conditions are met.

Prices and availability may change. Multi-day periods that are not listed as online product options must be arranged directly with MarKay Outdoors before booking.

Which Hire Period Is Best?

Choose same-day hire

Best for one small, clearly planned job where the site is ready, underground services have been checked and the machine can be returned on the same day.

Choose full 24-hour hire

Best when you need overnight access, several attachments or extra time to complete, clean, refuel and return the machine without rushing.

Choose two or three days

Best for medium-sized fencing, trenching, post-hole, landscaping or material-moving jobs that would be rushed in one day.

Choose four to seven days

Best for larger or staged projects involving several work areas, multiple attachments, material deliveries, other trades or possible delays.

Choose the weekend special

Best for a planned Friday-afternoon-to-Sunday-afternoon job that fits the fixed collection and return times.

Do not overbook

A lower average daily rate is not a saving when the machine sits unused. Choose the shortest hire period that still gives you enough time to finish properly.

How to Get Better Value From Your Kanga Hire

  • Measure access: confirm gates, paths and work areas are suitable before booking.
  • Clear the work area: remove vehicles, rubbish, timber and other obstacles before collecting the loader.
  • Locate underground services: check electricity, water, communications, drainage and other underground services before digging.
  • Mark every job: identify holes, trenches, excavation areas and finished levels before the hire starts.
  • Have materials onsite: waiting for soil, gravel, pipe, concrete materials or other supplies wastes paid hire time.
  • Confirm attachments early: tell MarKay Outdoors what work you are doing so the correct attachment setup can be arranged.
  • Allow return time: cleaning, refuelling, loading and travel must fit inside the booked hire period.
