Thread: Hiring a PLB

A PLB is not a single use item, so don’t worry about that. The terms around activation is a good question to put to them as hirer, although I would assume that’s on them.
Hiring one is a perfectly good option, just make sure they have good intentions, who is in your party and contact details for the person you would want RCC to be able to contact in an emergency.

And you’re quite correct, they are far too expensive in New Zealand and should be at least GST exempt or better still subsidised.
