Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get my hands on the PLB?
This is a mail order PLB hire service, so the emergency beacons are sent via Express Post. In most cases, I can get one to you within a couple of days. Included in the package will be a self-addressed Express Post satchel to return your PLB.
How does the pricing work, exactly?
Bookings of 6 days or more will be $10 per day.
For any booking less than 6 days, the maximum will be $15 per day (for a 3-day booking). This is the base rate, which will reduce with each day of the booking up to the sixth day.
How do I decide when to start and end my booking?
The first day (or start date) of your booking should be the day AFTER you need to receive the PLB. You do not pay for the day that you receive it.
The last day (or end date) of your booking should be the day BEFORE you intend to put the PLB back in the mail. Again, you do not need to pay for the day you return the PLB.
The last day of your booking must NOT be a Saturday and the first day must not be a Sunday. This is due to there being no mail service on weekends.
Public holidays also effect booking dates. You must count public holidays into your booking dates.
