Rental costs vary based on equipment type, rental duration, and your location. For example, dumpster rentals typically range from $250 to $850 per project, while forklift rentals start around $150 per day. Visit any equipment category page for detailed pricing tables specific to your area.

It depends on where the equipment will be placed. If it is on your private property, you generally do not need a permit. If it will be placed on a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way, most cities require a temporary placement permit. Your rental provider can usually advise you on local requirements.

Rental periods are flexible and depend on the equipment type and provider. Most dumpster rentals include a 7 to 14 day rental period. Heavy equipment like forklifts and aerial lifts can be rented by the day, week, or month. Longer rentals typically come with lower daily rates.

Delivery policies vary by provider and location. Some providers include delivery and pickup in the rental price, while others charge a separate delivery fee based on distance. When you call us, we will make sure you get a clear, all-in quote with no hidden fees.

All equipment from our network of providers is regularly maintained and inspected. If you experience a mechanical issue during your rental, contact your provider immediately. Most providers offer same-day service or a replacement unit at no additional charge.

Yes, most providers allow rental extensions. It is best to call your provider before the original rental period ends to avoid additional charges. Extension rates are usually prorated based on your original rental terms.
