Renting equipment without owning a truck offers several benefits, including cost savings and convenience. It is possible to rent tools from various sources, such as national equipment rental companies, home improvement stores, local hardware stores, and peer-to-peer rental platforms. Renting tools can be especially beneficial for home improvement projects that require items that DIYers may not have in their well-stocked garages, basements, or sheds.

A couple of things I learned: 1. It takes much longer to learn a machine for the first time than most gung ho DIYers will want to admit. I rented a trencher for 4-hours once and spent 2 of those 4 just trying to maneuver it, and still didn’t get very far. 2. It takes a lot of time to clean the machine in preparation for return if you don’t have a pressure washer. Be ready to spent at least an hour doing it. And then redoing it as you load it from your wet dirt to the trailer. 3. Most big rental companies (the ones with the cute weekend deal) wouldn’t let you attach these trailers to rental trucks. If you don’t have your own truck, you have very little luck. Either have it delivered to your job site, or the only real option you have is Home Depot Rentals, who you can rent the truck and trailer from. Note they don’t allow you to use their truck to tow anything other than their equipment. Also note that Home Depot charges you for the time when they are attaching the truck to the trailer, and talking you through it all, making it impossible for you to do it in that $20 / 90 mins deal. 4. Account for the insurance fees, taxes, and other fees. $300 easily becomes $390 before you walk out of the door. 5. If you are renting a truck to haul the machine, since you need to refuel it, you can just refuel both the truck and machine at the gas station. 6. Biggest lesson: Don’t rent for a day unless your project is really tiny. It takes way too long to learn a new machine and probably longer to do the job than you think.
The rental fee is reasonable. I need to level the front lawn after losing 2 oak trees, the root rot created many low spot plus the old stump is mostly gone. I’d like to spread some screened clean dirt with a Bobcat so once I move the dirt in place I can travel backwards to smooth the lawn with no tracks. Sounds easy but I’m sure its not so so. Thanks for the advice, commentators too!
I’ve rented a lot of equipment and I even learned some things from this article. You’re very lucky to have a rental store that is closed all weekend. Most are only closed Sunday at most in our area. The one thing I would add is I think you get much better “hand holding” and even a lot more lax policies about return times, condition, etc. if you rent from a private smaller company rather than a big box store or contractor rental company.
811 is a must do! I was replacing a fence, called 811 and they “located all” the utilities. I started digging the corner post with an auger and bam, took out the phone trunk line for the entire neighborhood. The utility locate missed it and didn’t mark the line. Because I made the call to 811, I was not held accountable for the repair cost. It did slow the project down, but happy it wasn’t my expense to repair. Make the call and save yourself the headache.
IF I tackle some trees in my yard, I’ll want to rent a stump grinder. I watched articles on how to properly use one and would watch them again when the times comes, but anything more than that, info or safety-wise, would be appreciated. Even if I have them cut and hauled, I may want to rent a stump grinder to save money on that, plus some tree services don’t do it. Edit to add: Renting on a Friday, returning on Monday is brilliant.
