saving you
money - hiring is in most cases cheaper
than owning,
|
|
allowing
you to "try before you buy",
|
|
avoiding
the situation of getting stuck with old
gear that has little or no value,
|
|
having
access to the latest equipment,
|
|
having no
maintenance costs or worries,
|
|
not having
the problem of storage,
|
|
reliability
and knowing that the equipment will be
in good working order when you need it.
Can I book equipment for hire?
Yes.
It is advisable for equipment to be booked
as early as possible to avoid
disappointment. Bookings can be made online
or via email (talbingo@goplayoutside.com.au)
. A minimum of 20% deposit is required to reserve
equipment at the time of booking unless
prior arrangement has been made.
Please
refer to our conditions of hire for details.
Unfortunately bookings cannot be made less
than 24 hours prior to arriving unless
special arrangement has been made with our
booking staff.

How can I
pay for hire equipment and products?
Payment can be made by cash, Mastercard,
Visa, Amex, or PAYPAL.
What if I have a problem with the
equipment?
In the
slight chance that anything is wrong with the
equipment we ask all our customers to give us a
call and let us know what the problem is. We will
advise how to correct or any corrective action
that may be required to get you back up and
running.
When you
pick up the equipment from us we make sure that
everything is correctly fitted and advise about
any fine tuning that can be done easily by the
customer if required. Of course you are welcome to
drop back and see us if you have any concerns or
just give us a call.
Do I need snow chains?
The RTA recommends that chains be carried during
winter (June to October) in the Koscuiszko
National Park. Snow chains should be fitted as
directed by authorised NPWS, RTA and Police
officers or as the conditions require. In some
cases correctly fitting chains must be carried by
2Wd and some AWD vehicles. Failure to do so may
incur a fine exceeding $200.
4WD vehicles are not required by law to carry snow
chains but due to the high incidence of 4WD
vehicle accidents in
Kosciuszko National Park, the RTA now recommends
they do-especially if drivers have little
experience driving in snow/ice risk sections.
More information about
driving in the snow can be found
here.
Do I need to pay to enter the National
Park?
Entry into the national park is currentlt $27 per
day per car and is required for all vehicles
parking at Selwyn Snowfields carparks. These are
available from the entry station located at
Kiandra. To save time these passes are also
available from Talbingo which mean you will not
have to queue up on the mountain. Further
information can be found on the NSW National Parks
website.
Can I
arrange for hire equipment to be delivered
and picked up?
In some cases we can
deliver equipment to your accommodation in Talbingo but in most cases you will need to
drop by our store and try on the gear you
require. Contact us for more information
regarding this. We are only 5 minutes away
from all accommodation in Talbingo.
What do I
need to hire equipment?
A valid drivers license or passport for
identification is required. A credit card
imprint will be used as a deposit for all
equipment hired.
Can I buy ex hire gear?
Yes.
Ex rental gear is available at most
times of the year. If you hire gear and
would like to buy it talk with one of our
sales assistants and they will advise you of
the sale price. We will even deduct the most
recent equipment hire cost from the price of
new gear! We also have a huge range of gear
available for sale in our stores and online.
What will I need to bring on our
holidays to the mountains?
We have
put together a comprehensive list of things
you should bring with you on a winter
holiday and can be found
here.

talbingo@goplayoutside.com.au with
