What do I need to rent equipment from A to Z?
You will need a valid Arizona driver's license and a major credit card to rent equipment from A to Z. A deposit is also required. In lieu of cash or check, most of our customers use a credit card for a deposit. An imprint of your credit card will be taken to guarantee that the equipment is returned in the same condition in which it was rented to you.
Can I reserve equipment in advance?
We invite you to reserve equipment in advance to insure availability. Reserve your equipment as early as possible. Please cancel reservations if your plans change. Reservations are gladly taken over the phone. See Party Rental Policies for specifics on party and events reservations.
Will someone show me how to use the equipment I rent?
Our rental service techs will show you the safe and correct operation of the equipment that you rent. It will be started for you before it is loaded into your vehicle, or when it is delivered, and any questions you have will be answered.
Can I buy a piece of equipment that I have rented?
All of our rental equipment is for sale at any time. Our used equipment is a great buy because we maintain it so that it is always ready to rent. When a piece of equipment can stand up to tough rental use, then you can be sure it is durable and easy-to-maintain. If you want to buy the actual piece of equipment that you have rented, we will apply a portion of the rental charges toward the purchase price.

Example -- If you rent equipment for a one day period at 10 a.m. one day, then it is due for return by 10 a.m. the next day. If you rent the equipment for a week on Monday at noon, it is due to be returned before the next Monday at noon.

Replacement cost or repair charges will be assessed to you for any lost, broken, dirty, stolen or damaged equipment.
Can I give you my credit card information over the phone?
For your protection, we require positive identification of the customers in our store renting equipment, and we need to verify that they are authorized to use the credit card presented to us.
