All prices: indicative values, as of 08/2026. Prices net, excl. VAT. Transport, insurance and accessories separate.

Rental period and volume discounts

The longer the rental period, the lower the effective daily rate. Weekly rentals cost around 4–5 times the daily rate (instead of 7 times), monthly rentals 12–15 times. For projects of more than 4 weeks, a direct quote from the rental company is worthwhile.

Transport and delivery distance

Transport is not included in the daily prices above. Luibl Rental delivers by low-loader to your site, throughout the Netherlands — transport costs depend on delivery distance and platform class. For machines up to approx. 16 m, €200–500 per delivery may apply depending on location; correspondingly more for large machines and long distances. For specific transport costs: send an enquiry.

Season and availability

In high summer (June–August) and when many projects coincide, availability of certain classes may be limited. Booking early secures availability and stable terms.

Insurance and accessories

Rental machines from Luibl Rental are delivered with a valid periodic inspection. Rental damage insurance is recommended for damage to the rented equipment — costs vary according to the scope of cover. Accessories (basket extensions, additional mounting plates, trailers for truck-mounted platforms) can be booked additionally, subject to availability.

Example 1: facade cleaning, residential building, 3 storeys

• Platform: articulating boom lift 16 m
• Rental period: 5 days
• Estimated rental costs: approx. €900–1,400 (transport not included)

Example 2: roof work, commercial building, outdoor use

• Platform: telescopic boom lift 28 m (diesel)
• Rental period: 3 weeks
• Estimated rental costs: approx. €3,800–6,000 (transport not included)

Example 3: hall maintenance, confined interior, several working levels

• Platform: electric scissor lift 10 m
• Rental period: 2 months
• Estimated rental costs: approx. €1,800–3,000 (transport not included)

All examples are indicative calculations without guarantee.

When comparing rental quotes, pay attention to the following points:

• Is transport included in both quotes or charged separately?
• Is there an excess for damage — or is insurance included?
• What minimum rental period applies?
• Is the periodic inspection up to date and is there an inspection sticker?
• When is the return, and are there costs for late collection?
• Is the machine Stage V compliant (relevant for low-emission zones)?

Buying your own aerial work platform typically pays for itself from approx. 150–250 days of use per year — depending on machine class and purchase price. For most trade and construction companies that do not need a platform permanently, renting is the more economical solution: no capital tied up, no inspection and maintenance costs, no storage. How to calculate the break-even point for your company is shown in the guide Rent or buy an aerial work platform?

Luibl Rental delivers all types of aerial work platforms throughout the Netherlands — by low-loader to your site, with its own fleet, without external forwarders. Periodically inspected machines with complete documentation.
