A "rental day" is 24 hours, in most cases, although a "rental day" can be longer or shorter on weekends or holidays.

Either way. Delivery fees are calculated according to mileage, or you may opt to save the fee and pick up yourself. Trailers are furnished for larger equipment, although you must have a truck of suitable capacity to tow the load.

Forms of payment accepted are cash, major credit cards, or  both personal & business checks. Credit card payment is required for a few items such as scaffolding and stump grinders. Commercial accounts are welcome via credit application.

A current Driver's License with a picture is required. One other form is needed which can be a credit card, work badge or ID card, SS card, Bank account card, or any other form of ID that verifies your identity. Out-of-town customers are welcome, but 3 forms of ID are required. Our Insurance carrier requires that these verifications be met.

Are there any charges in addition to the rental charges?

Items that are bought are subject to current Sales Tax rules. Items that are rented are subject to a Use Tax, otherwise known as Rental Tax.
An optional Accidental Damage Waiver (not an insurance) is available on most items. This covers all damage that may occur while the equipment is in your possession  except loss, theft, negligence, or abuse. The rate is 8% of the rental charge.
