Hauling and delivery

Trailers, and attachments rented without a machine, are picked up at the address on the booking page. If you haul it yourself, bring a properly rated truck and trailer with tie-downs rated for the weight.
Bringing it back
Machines are provided with a full tank of fuel and must come back with a full tank. Equipment should come back reasonably clean. If something is damaged, the optional damage waiver limits what you owe for accidental damage, but it is not insurance and it has exclusions listed in the agreement.
Common questions
What is the damage waiver?
It is optional. For a percentage of the rental charges, it limits what you owe for accidental damage to the equipment. It is not insurance, and it has exclusions that are listed in the rental agreement. Without it, you are responsible for damage to the equipment while it is in your care.
Can you deliver the equipment?
Yes, for the machines. Delivery and pickup is an estimated flat fee within a set distance, plus a per-mile charge beyond it, and we confirm the final fee when we approve your request. Trailers, and attachments rented without a machine, are picked up.
Can I cancel?
Yes. The rental agreement explains the notice we need to cancel without a charge. Contact us as early as you can.
