TrailerConnect was built on a simple idea: thousands of trailers sit idle in driveways across Australia while people nearby need exactly that trailer — today.
We're a peer-to-peer marketplace. That means the trailers you hire belong to real people in your community — not a faceless depot. Owners earn extra income from assets sitting idle. Renters get a wider selection, better prices, and a local pickup — often within a few kilometres.
We handle the payments, the bond, the messaging, and the reviews. You just pick up the trailer, get your job done, and drop it back.
Every listing is reviewed before going live. Owner profiles, reviews, and transparent pricing give renters confidence at every step.
Owners keep 90% of every hire. We charge a simple 10% platform fee — no hidden costs, no subscription. List for free and earn on your own terms.
From browsing to booking, the whole process takes minutes. No phone calls, no paper forms — everything happens through the platform.
When things go wrong (and occasionally they do), our support team steps in. Clear dispute resolution, secure bond handling, and a contact form that gets a real response.
The average Australian trailer owner hires out their trailer fewer than five times a year through word of mouth. TrailerConnect puts your listing in front of thousands of people nearby who need it right now — and you set the price, the rules, and the availability.
TrailerConnect was founded in Australia with a straightforward frustration: hire companies were closed on weekends, expensive during the week, and often out of the trailer you actually needed. Meanwhile, thousands of trailers were sitting idle in driveways within a few kilometres.
The idea was simple — connect the people who own trailers with the people who need them, handle the payments and paperwork, and get out of the way. No depot queues, no surprise fees, no 9-to-5 limitations.
Since launching, TrailerConnect has grown to cover all of Australia. Every feature on the platform has been built with one question in mind: does this make life easier for the owner, the renter, or both?
All payments are processed through Stripe — the same infrastructure used by Airbnb and Amazon. Your card details are never stored on our platform.
We manually review every trailer before it goes live. If it doesn't meet our standards, it doesn't get listed — simple as that.
Owners can hold a refundable bond on the renter's card. Released automatically after return, or retained if damage occurs. Both sides are covered.
Whether you need a trailer or you own one — TrailerConnect is the smarter way.
