Tool & plant hire in Bedford

What should I expect to pay for tool & plant hire in Bedford?
Expect day, week and month rates, with the weekly rate usually working out at roughly three or four days' hire. Most depots want a deposit and photo ID, and many will not release plant without seeing the relevant CPCS or NPORS card. Delivery is normally chargeable but often free above a certain spend.
What should I check before choosing?
Do they require a ticket for the machine you want? Is damage waiver included or extra? What are the delivery and collection charges? Do they open early enough for a site start? Trade account available, or cash hire only?
Why does this matter if I've just moved to Bedford?
Most people arriving for site work bring hand tools and nothing else. Anything powered, lifted or towed gets hired locally, and knowing who stocks what saves a wasted morning.
