With our service, you get a well-maintained, ready-to-use Erde trailer, professionally fitted for your peace of mind, all for a simple daily or weekly rate. We offer trailer hire in Minehead and trailer hire in Taunton.

Trailer Hire FAQs
Do I need a special driving licence to hire a small trailer?
No, our Erde 122 trailers have a gross weight of under 750kg, which means they can be towed by anyone with a standard UK car driving licence.
What do I need to have on my car to tow a trailer?

Can I take the trailer to the local tip?
