As Rent–Try–Buy is a rental agreement, there is no interest rate.

However, you can use our online rental calculator to work out your weekly rental payments, and to find out how much it would cost to own the equipment if you decided to purchase it after 12 months of renting.

As the calculator reveals, the net cost of owning the equipment could be as low as 10% (after taking into account tax deductions* and the rental rebate).

This figure reflects:

1. The unrivalled flexibility our customers enjoy and which no other financier, cash or credit card can give them. 
2. The risks we take by, for example, allowing customers to:

• Get the equipment they want without having to commit to the full purchase price.
• Secure up to $100,000 of equipment finance — in most cases without providing a director’s guarantee / personal guarantee. 
• Upgrade the equipment at any time and grow your business smarter.
• Return the equipment to us after only 12 months for no penalty.

To get started

Aside from the weekly rental payments (including one week’s rent paid in advance), the fees and charges that apply are:

• A refundable security bond — paid up front and equivalent to six weeks’ rent (less than $200,000 of funding) or 12 weeks’ rent ($200,000 or more of funding)

If you decide to return your equipment

• The cost of transporting any equipment the customer returns to us during or after the 12-month rental period (which the customer pays directly; this cost varies according to the equipment’s cubic weight and the distance it has to be transported).
• The cost for us to clean and service any equipment the customer returns to us during or after the 12-month rental period, so it can be certified and remarketed. We pass this cost on to the customer; the cost varies according to the type of equipment and its condition. See our cleaning-and-servicing fees (PDF).

No — while your rental payments will steadily reduce the equipment’s purchase price, there will still be money owing after 12 months.

To find out how much you’d need to pay us to buy your rental equipment, please call us for a buyout quote on 1800 337 153.

You can buy, or pay out, the equipment at any time during the 12-month term (not only at the end of it). 

Your rental payments will start after we’ve confirmed the equipment has been delivered to your business premises.

If you decide to buy the rental equipment, you’ll get back 75% of the net rent you paid in the first year and — if applicable — 25% of the net rent you paid thereafter. 

This ‘rental rebate’ is deducted from the amount financed — the rebate can’t be paid to you in cash.
