Leasing a float has now become more popular than ever, with the rapidly increasing cost of ownership, seen as an unnecessary expense. If horses and equipment were not expensive enough, add to that the cost of the float, servicing, insurance, warrant of fitness, registration, and then throw in a couple of new tyres next time you need a wof, a wheel bearing, brake repair, and some rust which will need cutting out, and all of a sudden you are up for thousands of dollars. There is also the nuisance factor of having to store it during the off season. (particularly if you are still paying it off), leasing a float from Auckland Floats takes away the burden of all of this. We now have dozens of clients now leasing floats off us on a seasonal basis and re booking them for the following season, and not having to even worry about storage for their float "off season". Why have thousands of dollars tied up with a float, when you could use that money more wisely elsewhere. Leasing a float also gives you choice.... you can try out different brands, and even "up grade" your float each season, something you can't do if you choose to purchase one.
Perhaps you are reluctant to buy a float because you are not sure when your daughter will discover boys? Whatever your reason, we will tailor a package to suit your needs. We recently purchased a float from a family who only owned it for 12 months, after buying it brand new. They lost $6,500 dollars in "twelve months". Obviously disappointed they had not heard of Auckland Floats, they have said they will definately be looking us up if their daughter takes up riding again. We have also had clients sell us their float, and lease it back off us, freeing up capital, and releasing the burden of ownership. Don't put yourself in this position, and commit yourself to a purchase if you are not 100% sure you will be keeping it for many many years, and you certainly shouldn't be purchasing a float before taking your horse out in it, for an extended period. Again, Auckland Floats can help you out there.
Auckland Floats can put together a package to fit most budgets. Payments can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly, whatever suits.
If you would like to book one of our floats for next season, a $250.00 bond will secure your choice from our fleet.

Auckland Floats have a selection of horse floats for hire. Our prices are the cheapest in town, from $60 per day, gst inclusive. All of our floats are top quality, with brakes, mats and pads. Why pay up to $120/day elsewhere for a sign written, poor quality float, often with no brakes, when you can have one of our quality, "un-sign written" floats for less!
We require a $50 bond, which is refundable, on return of the undamaged float. We have a drop off and pick up service, and a cleaning service, just enquire about our pricing structure
