When you're ready to make the leap into a DIY job, you might not have every tool you need in your workshop. Don't let that stop you when you can stop by The Home Depot Tool Rental Center in Athens.
Tool and Equipment Rental
Our tool rental choices expand your toolbelt and toolbox with the precise tools you require to complete your DIY project. It's not necessary to purchase a specific tool when you're not using it often. When you're thinking about buying a new tool, do a trial run before you decide which one to purchase. Whatever your situation, we have the tools you're looking for.
Rent Shop Vacuums, Post Hole Diggers, and Floor Sanders
Tackle major jobs with reliable power tool rentals. Take your scuffed wooden floor to the next level with a floor sander rental and a wet/dry vacuum rental to get the floors smooth and ready for refinishing. Construct a new fence around your pool or property more efficiently with a post hole digger rental, then use other concrete tools that suit the job at hand.
Make Painting Easier with Rental Scaffolding and Paint Sprayers
Make the most of warmer weather to paint outdoors. Rent paint sprayers to get professional coverage fast and make surfaces look new again. Rent scaffolding and ladders to reach elevated locations when painting fences, houses, and sheds. We carry step ladders and extension ladders for small to medium jobs, so you won't have to wait when you're ready to work.
Truck Rental
To meet your transport needs, we keep flatbed trucks and Penske moving trucks ready to roll — with availability varying by store. You're sure to find the right size truck rental for your project so you can keep your job on track. As your source for DIY jobs, it's smart to make us your source for transport and moving as well.
To get tools and transportation for your home improvement or DIY project, check out The Home Depot Athens Tool and Truck Rental Center. Having the appropriate tools for the job is important, so let us help. We're here to help you get that project done.
How do I rent a moving truck or tool?
Stop by the Rental Center at your nearest Home Depot to see what's available. If you'd like to be sure of what's in stock, call first to inquire about a tool or truck. You could also read our tool and equipment rental or truck rental pages to see if what you need is carried at your favorite store. For more on renting tools, read our Tool Rental FAQs, including terms and conditions for the equipment.
Can I rent a tool for an hour?
Tool rentals start at four hour time slots. Simply choose the length of time that suits you. Small home improvement jobs may only require a short rental period, and we can accommodate large projects as well. You've got options to rent tools by the month, week, or day, too. If you need it longer than what you signed up for, call your Rental Center to arrange an extension and avoid late fees.
When do I return the tools?
You can return the tools early if you finish your project ahead of schedule, but on-time works, too. Just make sure to bring them back by the deadline listed on your rental paperwork. Please clean off any built-up dirt from the tool as well. If you need them longer, call the rental center to see if you can extend your rental period.
Can I choose how long to rent a truck?
Rent a truck or cargo van for as long as you need it. For short trips, 75 minutes might be plenty. Otherwise, consider renting it by the day or the week, depending on the length of your project. Don't forget to factor in the drive between the store and the job site, as you must bring it back to the same store you rented it from. Penske moving truck rentals allow round-trip options as well as one-way options, and they have different terms. Make sure to read the documentation before selecting a truck.
Should I refill the rental truck with gas before I bring it back?
Yes, please fuel up the truck before you bring it back. Note the original fuel level when you receive the truck, and fill it with enough gas to match that same level. If you don't, you'll be hit with a penalty known as the fuel replacement charge.
Do I just need a driver's license to rent a truck?
No, you also need to be 21 or older, in addition to holding a valid driver's license. Depending on your state, you might require car insurance, as well as a credit card hold or a deposit, too. Please bring your credit card for Home Depot truck rentals, as we don't accept cash. Penske moving truck rentals have different requirements, so read those if you plan to rent a Penske truck.
