RENTALS
Some may use equipment rental as a way to test tools prior to purchase. It doesn't matter whether the company is large in size or a one-person operation, renting equipment can be a viable, cost-effective alternative. Some may use equipment rental as a way to test tools prior to purchase or to augment current fleet during busier times of year.
To help contractors and construction companies find equipment rental stores, ARA offers www.RentalHQ.com, an online rental locator. Users can enter their zip codes and the type of equipment needed to get a list of local ARA-member rental companies that can help meet their needs. IMAS

* What is your maintenance schedule for equipment?
* What is your response time if the equipment isn't working?
* What are your pickup and delivery times?
* What are your hours? Is someone always available after hours, should there be a problem?
* What training do you provide?
* What are your rates?
* Are there any additional fees?
* What are your billing policies?
* What are your policies for returns?
