Common questions
How much does mini digger hire cost?
Self-drive hire of a 1.5–3 tonne mini digger typically costs £80–£240 per day or £350–£650 per week. Delivery and collection usually adds £10–£30 each way for local jobs.
Is it worth hiring a mini digger with a driver?
For most homeowners, yes. A digger with a driver typically costs £300–£500 per day against £80–£240 self-drive, but a professional will work faster, more safely and more precisely than an inexperienced operator.
What size mini digger should I hire?
For most domestic jobs, such as garden landscaping, trench digging and foundation preparation, a 1.5 tonne mini digger is the most versatile choice.
Do I need a licence to operate a mini digger?
There is no legal requirement to hold a licence to operate a mini digger on private land. Plant operator certificates such as CPCS (Construction Plant Competence Scheme) or NPORS are widely recognised and may be required on a commercial construction site.
