The Home Depot Rental Center at University

Take on any new DIY project with the right tools for the job — even if you don't have them on hand. Rent the tools, use them, and take them back when you're done. You can complete your project without cluttering up valuable shed or workshop storage with tools you only need once in a while.

Tool and Equipment Rental
Using The Home Depot University Tool Rental Center helps you handle larger DIY projects. You won't be limited by only what you have on hand or have to settle for untrustworthy hand-me-down tools. Complete your project confidently and safely by renting quality tools. If your local store doesn't have the tool you need in stock, try checking another one within driving distance.

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

A Comfortable Workspace is a Productive One
Get ahead of summer heat by prepping in the springtime. We've got ways to help keep your workspace refreshingly cool so you can get more done. We have generators to run rental air conditioners, fans, and all your large power tools.

Rental Trucks
To make it easier to transport large tool rentals, we keep cargo vans and trucks on hand — with availability varying by store. Choose the right size truck rental for your project so you can keep your timeline running smoothly. As your source for DIY and storage projects, it's smart to make us your go-to source for moving and transport as well.

To get transportation and tools for your moving or home improvement project, check out The Home Depot Tool and Truck Rental Center in University. Renting the right tools for the job makes a difference. We're here to help you get your home improvement project done.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rentals

How do I rent tools and trucks?

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

How long can I rent tools?

Tool rentals start at four hour time slots. It depends on how long you'd like to rent them. Small DIY projects may only require a short rental period, and we can accommodate large projects as well. You've got options to rent tools by the week, day, or month, too. If you need it longer than your initial rental period, call the Rental Center to arrange an extension and avoid late fees.

When do I bring the tools back?

It's fine to return the tools early if you finish 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 mud and grime from the tool as well. If you need them longer, call your local rental center to see if you can extend your rental period.

How long can I rent a truck?

Rent a truck or cargo van for as long as you need it. For short trips, 75 minutes could be plenty. Otherwise, consider renting it by the week or the day, depending on the length of your project. Be sure to factor in the drive between the job site and the store, as you must return it to the same store you rented it from. Penske moving truck rentals allow one-way rentals as well as round-trip options, and they have different terms. Be sure to read the contract and terms and conditions before you choose a vehicle.

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 fuel level when you receive the truck, and be sure to fill it with enough gas to match that level. When you don't refill the rental truck, 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?

No, you must hold a valid driver's license and be over the age of 21. Depending on your state, you may 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, so read those if you plan to rent a Penske truck.
