Franchise opportunities
One-way rentals, without building branches of your own.
Customers often need to move a load from one town to another, not just across town. Offering that on your own means sites, staff and trailers in cities you've never worked in.
As a limited franchisee, your site becomes a collection and drop-off point in the largest one-way trailer rental network in the country. Green trailers arrive at your yard from across South Africa, and your customers can leave from your yard to almost anywhere.
It's built for established local rental businesses, and it doesn't call for a large capital outlay to get started.
What you get when you join
Customers who already know the green trailers
Search for one-way trailer rentals online and see who shows up. Your site is listed on our website and social media, and you get branded banners for your premises at our cost.
Real people behind every booking
Our bookings and admin team takes calls, handles bookings and helps sort out problems, so you're never on your own far from home.
Daily reports and a partner group that talks
Every day you'll know which trailers are booked, where stock is moving, and what maintenance is due. Franchisees stay in touch through WhatsApp groups and help each other out.
Everything you need to trade
Contract books, declaration forms and proven processes, plus onboarding and training for owners, site managers and assistants.
