I need a small truck with a covered back that I can drive on my car licence next Saturday. Who to rent from?

Try James Blond. They have always given me good service.

I've rented a couple of trucks of James Blond, but the last was a piece of crap, with the most scariest brakes I have ever driven (locking up, absolutely diabolical when cold). Otherwise I have had no issue with them. I also arranged my MIL & her partner to hire one of their cars and the partner backed into something, which he disclosed, leaving a very minor dent, which they didn't get charged for.

I've bought a shed (from Pakuranga, it assembled - 2.4m x 2m x 4.4m for a decent workroom). A friend and I are breaking it down and reassembling it here.

What if you'd test driven it, found the brakes were bad and taken it back?

Just rent a tandem car trailer & lay it flat on that. Then you dont have to worry about whether or not it will fit into a box truck. Much easier to load too.

ahh ok--You know what I was thinking "test drive cough cough"? but the hi roof isn't tall enough for the 2.0 or long enough

I did take it back and they didn't have another one the same size (I could drive on car license) and as I was moving to Hamilton from Auckland right then I couldn't afford the time to go try and find another at no notice. It drove okay loaded, and at speed, it was when it was unloaded and especially bad when cold. We finished at midnight as it was after doing 2 trips.
