Our order system is based on availability. Most of our bookings are weekend hire’s, however if your preferred outfit is available for a 4-day hire mid-week then you certainly can!

If you are unsure of an item’s availability or have further questions, please contact us at lara@onthegohire.com.au

No! Our hire price is inclusive of professional dry cleaning. Therefore, simply wear your item, pop it in its return satchel and post. We will look after the rest!

Please do not try and clean at home. This may lead to more harm than good and will result in damage fees. Refer to our Terms and Conditions for more information. 

We understand accidents happen! However, in the unlikely event that you damage an item, please let us know ASAP. Please send an email to lara@onthegohire.com.au with a brief description of the damage and an image to show its extent.

Upon return, we will assess the item along with our seamstress, Design by B.

  • If the cost of repair is quoted below $50, it will be covered by your bond.
  • If the cost of repair is quoted above $50, it will be the responsibility of the customer to pay the difference.
  • If the item is deemed beyond repair then it is the responsibility of the customer to pay the full RRP of the garment, as listed on our website.

Due to our business model, we are unable to offer refunds of the hire cost. 

However, we offer a 100% refund on all bonds paid. This is on the basis that your item is returned on the final day of your hire period and is in the same condition as it was upon delivery. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for more information.
