Hello, does anyone have a mini digger for hire or know of any company that hires one anywhere in the Costa Calida region?

I,ve seen your request several times but no answes. I too needed one (differrent area) but eventually used a local company with driver as was told Spanish owners dont like hiring out their diggers because of misuse and damages. You may need to bite bullet and pay for the user too. I know of a company in Sax who hires out for 170€ day with driver but think maybe too far away from you.

Regards

Pauline.

Thanks very much Pauline for your reply,

I understand their worry about the digger being damaged. So I guess that  might be why I am not getting replies to my emails to local spainish companies - I thought it was because my spainish was too bad.

It's only that I have a very experienced hard working digger driver here doing nothing during lockdown who is capable of doing the job so much faster and possibly better. Also I trust that he can do the job without accidentally knocking down my out buildings!

I will try again to contact the local company that advertises that they have all size machines or maybe even go and see them with my operator.

It's been so hard finding one I am thinking of buying one and renting it out when I move over here.
