All hire contracts stay as hired unless specifically advised by the customer. A conversion to purchase will only occur on notification by the customer, and a specific purchase invoice will be sent to replace the hire contract. Any offer of hire credit by RFH will need to be accepted within 14 days. Whilst we can generally offer 100% of hire fees paid within the first 6 weeks of hire, this percentage does drop over time due to international purchasing requirements. Please ask your local branch for an exact hire value off a purchase based on your machine and length of hire.
