Can I extend my rental period?

Extension requests are subject to availability and may incur additional charges. Please contact us as soon as possible to arrange an extension.

What You Need To Rent

What do I need to rent a trailer?

You’ll need a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance, a major credit card for the deposit, and a vehicle with a properly installed hitch rated to tow the trailer’s loaded weight.

Is a security deposit required?

Yes. A refundable deposit, depending on the trailer type, is held on your card and released within 3 to 5 business days after the trailer is returned in good condition.

Can my vehicle tow the trailer I want to rent?

That depends on your vehicle’s towing capacity, hitch class, and wiring. Check your owner’s manual, and our staff can confirm compatibility when you pick up. We can also install a hitch ball or wiring adapter for a small fee.

Which trailer do I need?

Utility trailers suit furniture, lawn equipment, ATVs, and everyday supplies. Equipment trailers carry skid steers, mini excavators, tractors, UTVs, and vehicles. Not sure? Call and we will match the trailer to your load and your truck.

Damage And Rules Of The Road

What happens if the trailer is damaged or stolen?

You’re responsible for damage or loss during the rental period. We offer an optional damage waiver that covers most accidental damage (excluding tires, negligence, and illegal use). Check your own auto policy, as some cover rented trailers.

Are there restrictions on what I can haul?

Yes. Hazardous materials, illegal goods, and loads exceeding the trailer’s weight rating are prohibited. Trailers can’t be used for racing, towing outside the agreed region, or sub-leasing. Please return the trailer clean and free of debris.
