Tools & Truck Rentals at The Home Depot Near You

The Home Depot Rental Center at El Cerrito

Take on any new home improvement project with the right tools for the job — even if you don't own them. Rent tools, use them, and bring them back when you're done. You're free to finish your project without taking up your workshop or basement with tools you only reach for once in a while.

Tool Rental
Using The Home Depot Tool Rental Center in El Cerrito lets you do more complex DIY projects. You won't be limited by only what you have on hand or have to settle for untrustworthy hand-me-down tools. Rent quality tools to complete your project safely and confidently. If your local store doesn't have the tool you need in stock, you may be able to find it at another store within driving distance.

Make Painting Easier with Ladder and Paint Sprayer Rentals
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 areas when painting fences, houses, and sheds. We carry extension ladders and step ladders for small to medium jobs, so you won't have to wait when you're ready to work.

Tame the Bushes and Lawn Early
Lighten the load with outdoor power equipment rentals and whip the yard into shape again. Neaten around the garden and bushes with edgers and rental lawn mowers, and get that driveway clean again with a pressure washer rental. Your outdoor oasis will be ready for new spring flowers before you know it.

Rental Trucks
To move large tool rentals or anything else, we keep cargo vans and box trucks ready for rental — with availability varying by store. Choose the right size truck rental for your DIY project so you can keep your job on track. As your trusted source for DIY and storage projects, it's easy to make us your source for moving and transport as well.

To get transportation and tools for your moving or home improvement project, check out The Home Depot El Cerrito 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 your home improvement project done.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rentals

How do I rent trucks and tools?

Stop by your local Rental Center to see which trucks or tools you can rent. If you want confirmation before you drive there, call first to inquire about a truck or tool. You may also read our truck rental or tool and equipment rental pages to see if what you need is carried at your favorite store. For more details on renting tools, read our Tool Rental FAQs, including terms and conditions for the equipment.

Can I rent a tool for a month?

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 rental that's a few hours long, and long-term projects aren't a problem either. You've got options to rent tools by the week, month, or day, too. If you need it longer than your initial rental period, call your Rental Center to arrange an extension and avoid late fees.

When do I return the tools?

You're welcome to return the tools early if you complete your project ahead of schedule, but on-time works, too. As long as you return it by the deadline you were given when you rented it, you'll be good to go. Please clean off any mud or dirt from the tool as well. If you need the tools longer, call your local rental center to see if you can extend your rental period.

How long can I rent a truck?

Rent a cargo van, box truck, or pickup truck for as long as you need it. For short trips, 75 minutes might be enough time. Otherwise, consider renting it by the day or the week, depending on the length of your project. Be sure to factor in the drive between the store and the job site, as you'll need to 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 provided documentation before you decide on a vehicle.

Do I need to refill the rental truck with gas?

Yes, please fuel up the truck before you return it. Note the fuel level when you receive the truck, and fill it with enough gas to match that level. When you don't refill the rental vehicle, you'll be hit with a penalty known as the fuel replacement charge.

Can I rent a truck with only a driver's license?

No, you also need to be 21 or older, in addition to holding a valid driver's license. Depending on your state, you may require car insurance, as well as a credit card hold or a deposit, too. We don't accept cash for Home Depot truck rentals, so please bring your credit card. Penske moving truck rentals have different requirements.
