HeadingFrequently Asked Questions

 

How and when do I pay?
Payment is required on all of our rentals upfront. We accept most major Credit Cards (American Express, Visa, Mastercard), Cash, and Open Checks as forms of payment. The amount of the deposit will vary depending on what form of payment you use. Please make sure to bring in a valid California Driver License.

 

Do I need to call and schedule the equipment for pickup?

Yes. If we have delivered a piece of equipment to your jobsite/home please make sure to call us and let us know when you are finished. You will receive a call off number from our office confirming the equipment is off rent and you are no longer being charged for it. To ensure there are no additional charges please make sure to fuel it (double check; if it is diesel/gas, we charge $7.50/gal) and park it in a spot that is accessible for our driver. Once scheduled for pick up we will dispatch a driver as soon as we have one available.
