FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to Care Equipment Rental & Excavation. Below are answers to common questions about reservations, rental periods, deliveries, equipment use, and billing.

  • Reservations:

How do I reserve equipment?

Contact our rental team by phone, email, or through the reservation request form. Please provide:

  • Your name and contact information
  • Equipment needed
  • Jobsite or delivery address
  • Requested rental dates
  • Estimated project length
  • Delivery and pickup preferences

Reservations are subject to equipment availability and are not confirmed until approved by our team.

How far in advance should I reserve?

We recommend reserving equipment at least one week in advance, as availability fills quickly. Early reservations are encouraged, especially for weekends and holidays. Same-day rentals may be available but are not guaranteed. When available, all same-day rentals must be booked before 12:00 PM (noon).

Can I change or cancel my reservation?

Yes. Contact us as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel a reservation. Cancellation or rescheduling fees may apply if the equipment has already been prepared, dispatched, or delivered.

Rental Periods

How many operating hours are included?

Unless your rental agreement states otherwise, a daily rental includes up to 12 hours of equipment running time. Additional operating hours may result in extra charges.

Can I extend my rental?

Extensions may be approved based on availability. Contact us before your scheduled return or pickup time. Keeping equipment beyond the agreed rental period without approval may result in additional charges.

Do weekends and holidays count as rental days?

Weekend and holiday charges depend on your rental agreement, equipment usage, and pickup or delivery schedule. Ask our team for the terms that apply to your reservation.

Delivery and Pickup

Do you deliver equipment?

Yes. Delivery may be available based on the equipment type, location, scheduling, and site accessibility. Delivery and pickup charges may apply.

Does someone need to be present for delivery?

No, the customer does not need to be present for delivery or pickup. If you would like the equipment placed in a specific location, please notify our reservation team when booking. The requested area must be safe, accessible, and suitable for delivery.

Are delivery and pickup times guaranteed?

No. Delivery and pickup times are estimated and cannot be guaranteed. Timing may be affected by traffic, weather, equipment availability, jobsite conditions, and previously scheduled deliveries.

We will make every reasonable effort to complete your delivery or pickup within the estimated timeframe. Please plan accordingly and avoid scheduling work that depends on an exact arrival time.

What should I do before delivery?

Please make sure:

  • The delivery area is accessible and reasonably level
  • Gates, entrances, and access roads are wide enough
  • Vehicles and other obstructions are removed
  • Underground utilities and hazards are identified
  • Any required permits or site approvals are secured

The customer may be responsible for delays, failed deliveries, or unsafe site conditions.
