When you're preparing to leap into a major home improvement project, you might not have everything you need in the workshop or shed. Don't let that stop you when you can stop by The Home Depot Tool Rental Center in Schererville.
Tool Rental
Our tool rental options expand your toolbox with the precise tools you require to complete your project. It's not practical to get a specialized tool when you're only using it once in a while. When you're considering a new tool, try it out first before you decide which to get. Whatever your situation, we have the tools you're looking for.
Rent Floor Sanders, Post Hole Diggers, Shop Vacs, and More
Tackle serious jobs with reliable power tools. Take your scuffed hardwood to the next level with a floor sander rental and a wet/dry vacuum 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 utilize other concrete tools to securely set your fence posts.
Make Painting Easier with Rental Scaffolding and Ladders
Gorgeous sunny days are a great time to tackle outdoor painting projects. Renew surfaces with a fresh coat of paint. Whether you need scaffolding rentals for painting a house or shed, or rental ladders for painting fences, or a paint sprayer rental for professional coverage, we have what you need.
Cargo Van and Truck Rentals
For large equipment rentals, we keep trucks of all kinds on hand. Although availability varies by store, we've got a selection ranging from pickups to cargo vans to flatbeds. We'll have the correct size for your DIY project so you can keep your job on track. As your source for DIY jobs of all sizes, it's simple to make us your go-to source for truck rental as well.
Box Truck and Penske Moving Truck Rentals
If it's time to move to a new home, we can help with that. Explore our rental box trucks. We also offer Penske moving trucks in sizes ranging from 12-feet to 26-feet, but as always, availability varies from store to store. Use our trucks to haul all your belongings — from everything in a dorm or small apartment to a 5-bedroom house. Our Penske moving trucks have different rental requirements and sizes than our box trucks, so check our FAQ or speak to an Orange Apron to make sure you choose the right rental truck for you.
Large Equipment Rentals
Handle massive projects with professional equipment. Our large equipment rentals give you the power you need to finish the job yourself. From the scissor and boom lifts to give you a boost to the mini skid steers capable of hauling materials on outdoor job sites, we've got an expansive variety of equipment available. If a large equipment rental could help you, explore our selection to see what we've got in stock.
Although we're calling out popular large equipment, truck, and tool rentals, our rental center may not have everything on hand for your required time frame. If you've got a particular truck in mind, please contact your local rental center to see where you can pick it up.
How do I rent large equipment, tools, or trucks?
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 tool, truck, or large equipment. You might also check out our truck rental or tool and equipment rental pages to see if what you need is available at your favorite store. For more details on renting tools or large equipment, read these Tool Rental FAQs, which includes equipment terms and conditions.
Can I rent a tool or large equipment for an hour?
You can rent a tool or large equipment for four hours or more. It depends on how long you'd like to rent them. Small DIY projects may only require a rental for a few hours, and we can accommodate large projects as well. You've got options to rent large equipment and tools by the day, week, or month, too. If you need it longer than anticipated, call the 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. Just make sure to bring them back by the deadline listed on your rental paperwork. Please clean off any mud or dirt from the tool as well. If you need it longer, call your local rental center to see if you can extend your rental period.
Can I rent a truck for a week?
Rent a box truck, cargo van, or flatbed truck for as long as you need it. For short trips, 75 minutes might be enough time. Otherwise, consider renting it by the week or the day, depending on how long your project is. Be sure to factor in the drive between the store and the job site, 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. Be sure to read the documentation before you decide on a truck.
Should I refill the rental truck before I bring it back?
Yes, please fill up the truck before you bring it back. Match the amount of gas that was in the tank when you received the rental. If you don't, you'll have to pay a penalty known as the fuel replacement charge.
Do I just need a driver's license to rent a truck or large equipment?
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. Select tools as well as large equipment also require ID verification via CLEAR.
How do I receive my large equipment rental?
Depending on your location, you may be able to get large equipment delivered to your job site for an affordable rate — whether that's at your home or out in the field. You'll need to rent it for one day or longer and provide us with 24 hours notice so we can prepare your rental delivery for you. Speak to an associate for the best way to get your large equipment.
What are some ways to avoid penalties and extra fees on rented large equipment?
Treat your large equipment rentals as any other vehicle: Make sure it's parked legally and you obey traffic laws. Read the operator's manual so you're using it correctly to avoid damaging the equipment or injuring yourself. Also, plan ahead to ensure the equipment is ready when you are. If you cancel within 12 hours of your scheduled delivery, you'll pay a cancellation fee. Extend your rental period if you need extra time so you won't get dinged with a late fee.
