Frequently Asked Questions
  • How long can I rent a generator for?

    Each company will have their own regulations for how long you can hire a generator in Cape Town. The generator hire period is usually one full day or longer. Most companies will be open to long-term rentals, especially if you are willing to pay the price. If anything, it’s much easier for them to hire a generator out to one loyal customer.
  • Do I need to organise insurance while hiring the generator?

    The generators will usually be insured by the company whom you are renting from in Cape Town. However, it might be up to the client to cover insurance while they have the generator in their possession. This means that if the generator is unfortunately lost, stolen or damaged in the client’s possession, they will have to cover the costs. In some instances, the generator can be repaired, otherwise, it must be completely replaced.

    On the other hand, if the client has been negligent with the generator, they will be fully liable. The company might expect them to pay for repairs or replacement.
  • Do I need an electrician to connect the generator?

    Yes, a professional electrician should always install the rental generators for you. You don’t want to risk damaging the generator before you’ve even had the opportunity to use it. Temporary or permanent generator installations in Cape Town should be checked by a qualified electrician. Don’t turn the generator on or connect any equipment until you are sure that they work well.

    Moreover, a Certificate of Compliance (COC) must be issued by the electrician. The company might have an electrician that can complete the installation and issue the certificate for you. This means they won’t take responsibility for a generator that has been installed incorrectly.
  • Should I refill the generator tank before returning it?

    It shouldn’t be a requirement to refill the tank. Generally, you’ll be paying to use the fuel as part of your rental. This means that it’s the generator hire professional's responsibility to refill the tank once you’ve returned it to them. However, it might be possible to cut your expenses if you refill the tank on your own. It’s a good idea to check the terms of service.
  • How do I use a generator safely?

    Firstly, you should make sure that the generator is sectioned off from the public. Only a few people should have access to the generator, distribution board and any other accessories. In addition, all of the cables should be in good condition and out of the way too. A fire extinguisher should be positioned close to the generator and it’s often supplied by the company
  • Are there specific documents required to rent a generator?

    It depends on the company’s policies in Cape Town, however, you’ll probably need an ID document or a company registration document if you’re hiring the generator on behalf of a business in Cape Town. In addition, you might need to sign a form or contract that outlines the terms of hiring.
