Coin and Card-Operated Laundry Equipment for Hire

Give residents, guests and laundrette customers a straightforward way to pay for washing and drying. Our coin and card-operated washing machines and tumble dryers are available for rental to commercial and communal laundries across Scotland, including holiday parks and student accommodation.

From coins and tokens to contactless and app payments, the choice depends on your users and the machines you need. We help bring the equipment and payment system together, with compatibility checked before installation.

Renting Payment-Operated Washers and Tumble Dryers

A self-service laundry needs suitable capacity, straightforward controls and enough drying space to keep up with the wash. Discuss the busiest periods, the size of loads users bring and whether machines will run throughout the day or at particular times. We can then consider commercial washers and tumble dryers as a connected setup.

For student accommodation and holiday parks, the payment method should be convenient for residents or guests and compatible with the chosen machines. Commercial equipment rental combines access to suitable washers and dryers with installation and ongoing equipment support. Payment-provider charges remain separate, so the whole running arrangement can be considered before choosing a system.

Payment Choices for Rental Washing Machines and Dryers

Coins and Tokens

A familiar payment method for facilities where users can obtain coins or tokens before starting a wash or dry.

Contactless Payments

Compatible systems accept contactless bank cards and payments from supported phones or watches, reducing the need for users to carry cash.

App Payments

Users pay through the chosen provider’s app. Availability and the steps involved depend on the payment system fitted to the machines.

Prepaid Laundry Cards

A laundry card provides another way to pay. The available system and how cards are supplied or topped up depend on the provider.

We can work with your chosen payment provider. Compatibility with the selected washers and dryers needs to be checked before the setup is agreed.

Running Costs and Support for Payment-Operated Rental Equipment

You set the wash and dry prices and receive the income from the machines. Payment-provider transaction or subscription charges are separate from equipment rental. Consider these alongside expected usage when choosing a system.

Laundry Equipment

Thain installs and supports the washers and dryers under the agreed cover. Thain can also configure the payment equipment or coordinate installation with the chosen provider.

Payment System

The payment provider supports its payment system. Its transaction or subscription charges apply separately, with the details depending on the provider and setup.

Automatic detergent dosing is an optional addition for compatible washing machines. Discuss whether it suits the facility; chemical supply is arranged separately. Our rental washing machine page explains the available support and dosing options.

Coin and Card-Operated Laundry Equipment Rental FAQs

Can I Choose My Own Payment Provider?

Yes. Thain can work with your chosen payment provider. Tell us the provider and payment method you prefer so compatibility can be checked before selecting the washers and dryers. Thain can configure the payment equipment or coordinate installation with the provider.

Can Users Pay with a Phone or Watch?

Yes. A compatible contactless system can accept payments from supported phones and watches, as well as contactless bank cards. App payments are another option, using the chosen provider's app. The available methods are confirmed when the equipment and payment system are selected.

Who Receives the Money from Washes and Drying?

You set the wash and dry prices and receive the income from the machines. Any transaction or subscription fees charged by the payment provider are separate from the equipment rental, so allow for both when planning your laundry charges.

Can Payment Systems Be Added to Any Machine?

No. Payment systems are not universally compatible with every washer or dryer. The manufacturer, machine controls and payment system determine which combinations will work. Thain checks the proposed combination before installation, including where you have a preferred provider.

Who Should I Contact if a Payment Fails?

Contact the payment provider for a failed transaction, app problem or payment-system fault. Contact Thain if the washer or dryer itself is faulty. The equipment cover and payment-provider support have separate responsibilities, which are explained when the setup is agreed.
