Our Rental Policies

When you are looking for rental equipment there are a number of guidelines that can help you obtain the right piece of equipment for your specific job. We believe that our policies and guidelines help ensure a fair and consistent approach to the various aspects of our rental business, but if you have specific concerns or needs please speak with our store manager.

General Guidelines for Rental Equipment

Call The Rent-It Store and describe the project you would like to complete with rented equipment. When our Rental Professionals know the details of your project, they can recommend exactly the type and size of equipment you’ll need for most lawn and garden and home improvement or repair projects. They also will help you organize the additional supplies you’ll need to complete the job correctly. The Rent-It Store carries all the extras, such as sandpaper or detergent, for example, to do a professional job.

Prep Before Renting

Before you actually go to The Rent-It Store, organize the work area so you can use the equipment right away when you bring it home. For example, if you’re shampooing a carpet, remove furniture from the room before you pick up the carpet cleaner. This preparation can save you money because The Rent-It Store charges for the time the equipment is in your possession - not for the time you actually spend using it.

Safety

When you pick up the equipment, The Rent-It Store personnel will explain how to use it safely and correctly. If you don’t understand the instructions or feel uncomfortable about operating the equipment, ask for more information and instructions.

Understand the Rental Rates

Make sure you understand our rental rates, store hours, and policy for returns. Rental items may be rented by the half-day, day, week, month, or per event. Generally, the equipment has a set minimum time that is less expensive than renting for the entire day.

Equipment Responsibility

Make sure you understand your responsibility for the equipment. Generally, The Rent-It Store is responsible for equipment maintenance and will replace equipment that breaks down during normal use. But when damage occurs because of a customer’s negligence or misuse, he or she is responsible for repair or replacement. For expensive equipment in your possession, construction equipment would be an example, you may need to provide on-site security.
