Rental terms & conditions

1. Agreement

By submitting a rental request, the renter ("you") agrees to these terms with Wisconsin Equipment Rental ("we", "us"). These terms, the booking confirmation, and any signed delivery or pickup checklist form the rental agreement.

2. Rental period

The rental period runs from the start date to the end date shown on your confirmation. Seasonal rentals run for the number of months selected and may carry a minimum term.

3. Payment, deposit and card on file

You authorize us to charge the card on file for: the rental charges and sales tax upon approval; a refundable security deposit; monthly installments for seasonal rentals; and any fees described below. Deposits are refunded after the equipment is returned and inspected, less any amounts owed.

4. Cancellation

You may cancel without charge up to 24 hours before the rental start. Later cancellations may be charged up to one day's rental (or one month for seasonal rentals).

5. Fees

• Late return: charged at the daily rate for each day or partial day late.
• Cleaning: charged if equipment is returned excessively dirty.
• Fuel: charged at cost plus a service fee if not returned full.
• Damage: repair or replacement cost, subject to the damage waiver if purchased.

6. Damage protection

You must either (a) purchase the damage waiver, which limits your liability for accidental damage during normal use (excluding negligence, misuse, theft without a police report, and operation by unauthorized persons), or (b) provide a certificate of insurance naming Wisconsin Equipment Rental as additional insured and loss payee.

6a. Accessories and diamond core bits

Accessories rented with or without equipment (including diamond core bits) are rented for the same period as the rental they are booked with. Normal diamond segment wear is included with reasonable use. Excessive segment wear, damage, or missing bits may result in additional charges. Where an equipment deposit covers its accessories, a single deposit applies to the package.

7. Use of equipment

Equipment must be operated only by competent, authorized persons, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, and only within Wisconsin unless approved in writing. You may not sublet the equipment.

8. Truck-mounted plows

Plow rentals require a compatible vehicle. We confirm compatibility before approval; you are responsible for the vehicle's suitability, ballast and legal operation with the plow mounted.

9. Operator services

When an operator is provided, Wisconsin Equipment Rental directs the operator's work. You are responsible for identifying underground utilities, hazards, and property lines.

10. Liability

You assume responsibility for the equipment from delivery or pickup until it is returned, and agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your use, to the extent permitted by law.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin.
