<a href="https://www.homedepot.com/c/truck-rentals?emt=ppstr_faq_2503">Rent a box truck</a>, cargo van, or pickup truck 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 how long your project is. Be sure to factor in the drive between the job site and the store, as you must return it to the same store where you rented it.

The Home Depot Rental Center at San Luis Obispo

Take on any new DIY project with the right tools — even if you don't currently own them. Rent tools, use them, and return them when you're done. You can complete your project without taking up workshop storage with tools you rarely need.

Tool and Equipment Rental
The Home Depot San Luis Obispo Tool Rental Center helps you handle more complex DIY projects. Break free of the limits of old tools and rent up-to-date tools made to suit your projects. Rent the tools to finish your project confidently and safely. If your local store doesn't have the tool you need in stock, it might be available at another one within driving distance.

Add Insulation When the Weather is Cooler
To make your home more energy efficient, update your insulation in the spring — before it gets dangerously hot in the attic. Rent equipment made for insulation to install it correctly. Choose from a fiberglass blower or a cellulose insulation blower, and insulate those nooks and crannies with ease. Installing insulation keeps your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, all while tempering your heating and cooling bills.

Tame the Lawn and Trees Early
Lighten the load with outdoor power equipment rentals and whip the yard into shape again. Neaten the yard with a rental lawn mower and leaf blower rental, the trees and hedges with a chainsaw, and the driveway with a pressure washer. Your outdoor oasis will be ready for new spring flowers in no time.

Truck Rental
If it's time to get going on your DIY project but you have to rent a truck to do it, come to The Home Depot Truck Rental Center. From cargo vans and pickup trucks to Penske moving trucks and box trucks, we've got the transportation you need. You're sure to find the right size for your project so you can keep your job on track. Rent a truck to check off more DIY jobs from your list. Check with your local rental center for availability, as it changes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rentals

How do I rent trucks or tools?

Stop by your local Rental Center to see what trucks and tools are up for rent. 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 in stock at your local store. For more info on renting tools, read these Tool Rental FAQs, including terms and conditions for the equipment.

Can I rent a tool by the hour?

You can rent a tool for four hours or more. It depends on how long you'd like to rent them. Small DIY jobs may only require a short rental period, and long-term jobs can also be accommodated. You've got options to rent tools by the day, week, or month, too. If you need it longer than anticipated, call the Rental Center for an extension and avoid late fees.

When do I return the tools?

You can return the tools early if you complete your project faster than planned, 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 it longer, call your rental center to see if you can extend your rental period.

Can I rent a truck for a few hours?

Rent a box truck, cargo van, or pickup truck 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 how long your project is. Be sure to factor in the drive between the job site and the store, as you must return it to the same store where you rented it. Penske moving truck rentals allow round-trip options as well as one-way options, and they have different terms. Make sure to read the contract and terms and conditions before choosing a truck.

Should I refill the rental truck with gas before I bring it back?

Yes, please fill up the truck before you bring it back. Make a note of the amount of gas in the tank when you receive the truck, and be sure to fill it with enough gas to match that level. If you don't, 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 must hold a valid driver's license and be over the age of 21. Depending on your state, you might require car insurance, as well as a deposit or credit card hold, too. We don't accept cash for Home Depot truck rentals, so please bring your credit card. Penske moving truck rentals have different requirements.
