Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to hire a horsebox in Ipswich?
Horsebox hire prices in Ipswich vary depending on the size of the vehicle and duration of hire. A small two-horse trailer or box typically costs from £80 to £150 per day, while a larger professional horsebox can range from £150 to £400 or more per day. Many providers also offer half-day rates or mileage-based pricing. Check individual profiles on The Digital Yard for current rates.
Do I need a special licence to drive a hired horsebox?
It depends on the vehicle's gross weight. If you passed your car driving test after 1 January 1997, you are limited to towing a trailer up to 3,500kg MAM with a standard category B licence. Larger horseboxes require a C1 or C licence. Always confirm the licence requirements with the hire company before booking, as driving without the correct licence is illegal and can invalidate insurance.
What should I check when hiring a horsebox in Ipswich?
Before hiring, check that the vehicle has valid MOT and insurance covering your use, that partitions and ramps are in good working order, that there is adequate ventilation and lighting, and that the floor is safe and non-slip. Ask whether the hire includes breakdown cover, and confirm how to handle fuel and any pre-existing damage. Always inspect the horsebox with the hire company before setting off.
How far in advance should I book horsebox hire?
For popular events such as shows, competitions, or hunting days, it is advisable to book several weeks in advance, especially during the busy spring and summer season. For routine transport, a week or two is usually sufficient. Contact providers on The Digital Yard directly to check availability.
