Licences and what to check
A company that hires out tools or equipment in the UAE needs a trade licence. Ask for its licence number before you book, and check that the company name on the quote matches the licence. Ask also whether the price includes delivery and collection, and what deposit is taken and when it is returned.
Season and outdoor work
Summers are very hot in the UAE from May to September, so outdoor jobs such as concrete work, painting and garden clearance are easier to plan from November to March, when the mild winter makes long days on site more comfortable. In summer, plan heavy work for the early morning and return tools before the midday heat. Fix the hire dates to the weather rather than to the deadline.
How tools are hired and delivered
Hire is priced per day, per week or per month, and the lease term changes the rate, so state how long you need each tool. Delivery runs between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain, and the distance from the depot to your site can change the price. Write your exact area in the request so sellers can confirm delivery to you. Use metric units, with cm for size, kg for weight and litres for fuel or fluids. Ask whether consumables such as blades, discs or concrete additives are included.
