How much does mobile fridge hire cost in Gauteng?

For 2026, mobile fridge hire in Gauteng costs R2,800–R6,500 for a one-day event and R7,500–R16,000 for a full week, depending on trailer size. All prices include delivery inside the JHB/Pretoria metro belt.

Is a generator included in the mobile fridge hire price?

No — generators are optional and add R850 per day for a silent inverter unit sized to your trailer. Most venues can supply a 15A/32A plug point instead, saving the fee.

Do you offer multi-day mobile fridge hire discounts?

Yes. Day 1 is charged at the full rate, and every additional day drops to roughly 60% of that rate. Weekly bookings save around 30% versus paying day-by-day.

Are there delivery fees beyond Johannesburg and Pretoria?

Deliveries within a 40 km radius of our Pretoria yard are included. Beyond that, we charge per kilometre round trip — quoted upfront before booking, no surprises.

Mobile fridge hire prices in Gauteng in 2026 range from R2,800 for a small overnight trailer to R12,500 for a large multi-day walk-in with generator. The price you actually pay depends on four things: trailer size, hire length, delivery distance from our Pretoria yard, and whether you need a generator.

Mobile fridge hire price table (2026)

Trailer size	1-day hire	Weekend (Fri–Mon)	Weekly
2 m single-axle chiller	R2,800	R4,200	R7,500
3 m walk-in chiller	R3,500	R5,200	R9,000
4 m walk-in chiller/freezer	R4,800	R7,000	R12,000
5–6 m walk-in (large events)	R6,500	R9,500	R16,000

All prices are all-inclusive of delivery inside the Pretoria/Johannesburg metro belt, connection, temperature testing and collection. VAT is separate for business invoices.

What changes the price up or down?

Distance beyond 40 km from our yard — priced per kilometre round trip.
Weekends and December peak season — expect a 10–15% premium on 3-day bookings.
Generator hire — add R850/day for a silent inverter unit sized to the trailer.
Freezer mode instead of chiller — no extra rental, but pre-cool takes 12 hours.
Multi-day discounts — day 2 onwards drops to ~60% of the day-1 rate.

How Fumuno compares to Gauteng alternatives

You'll find three price tiers in the market: bakkie-loaded chest freezers (R1,500/day, no walk-in space, unreliable), mid-market trailer suppliers (R3,500–R5,500/day, our band), and premium event-only suppliers (R7,000+/day, mostly Johannesburg north). For 90% of weddings, funerals and corporate functions, the mid-market band is the right choice.

Hidden costs to watch for

After-hours delivery surcharges (avoid by booking 48h ahead).
Damage deposits held on card — refundable, but plan for the hold.
Extra generator fuel billed separately — get it in writing.
Minimum hire length — some suppliers charge for 2 days when you only need one.
