General
Guidelines For Renting
Call your rental store and describe the project you would
like to complete with rented equipment. When rental store personnel 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. Many rental stores carry all
the extras, such as sandpaper or detergent for example, to do a professional
job.
Before you actually go to the rental 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 rental center charges for the time the equipment
is in your possession - not for the time you actually spend using it.
When you pick up the equipment, the rental 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.
Make sure you understand the rental store's rates, store
hours and policy for returns. Rental items may be rented by the half day,
day, week, month or per event.. Generally, equipment has a set minimum
time that is less expensive than renting for the entire day.
Make sure you understand your responsibility for the equipment.
Generally, the rental 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 and tents are examples, you may need to provide
on-site security..
