No, our trailers are not covered by insurance. This will be at the responsibility of the fleet operator as part of the rental agreement. Relevant, full insurance documents must be provided to BS Trailers upon account setup and before any rental agreement has been signed.

That depends on your location- We have a dedicated fleet of highly skilled mobile service engineers that can carry out servicing at your premises. Each mobile service van is fully equipped with parts, tools, welding facilities and the latest diagnostic technology to ensure rapid diagnosis and repair including the latest ABS & EBS braking systems. Alternatively we have a Nationwide group of Allied Service Partners that we work with, that can cover the farthest most haulier locations in England, Scotland & Wales, and we can advise on those closest to your operating centre.

We have a selection of trailers available with cameras fitted, though this isn’t an included standard with every hire. Operators looking for camera-fitted trailers should enquire with our team prior to renting as it must be built into the rental contract. Cameras are an added extra and may incur an additional fee.

We deliver across the entirety of the UK from £3 per mile from LU7. We do not currently enforce a cap on mileage and can deliver to England, Scotland and Wales. Alternatively, collection can be made from our yard in Leighton Buzzard with prior notification and arrangement with the team.

In instances where our trailers become damaged under your supervision, you should immediately notify our head office. We will make arrangements to recover the trailer and supply a replacement while we handle the relevant insurance proceedings. We process all damages and claims in-house. The outcome will be dependent on the severity of the damage and is dealt with on a case-by-case basis. In specific circ*mstances, the trailer may be repaired in our workshop or by an authorised repairer on-site, directly for the customer.

All damage and associated repair costs are the responsibility of the hirer.
