Questions, answered
Yes. You need a truck with a tow rating of at least 9,990 lb (the trailer's full GVWR), a hitch rated for 10,000 lb (usually Class 4 or 5) with a 2 5/16" ball, a 7-way plug, and a brake controller for the trailer's electric brakes. Our towing guide walks you through checking each one. If you're not sure your vehicle qualifies, call us and we'll help you check before you book.
No hazardous materials and no wet (uncured) concrete. Vehicles and equipment are fine, as long as they stay within the trailer's payload and won't damage it. The trailer and your load combined must stay under the 9,990 lb GVWR rating. Ask us if you're unsure whether your load fits.
Pickup is by appointment in Easley. Delivery is available for $50 each way within 15 miles of our Easley pickup location, plus $3 per mile beyond that. We drop the trailer off at the address you give us and pick it up there when your rental ends — just choose delivery on the reservation form. We leave the trailer unhitched, so you'll hook up to your own tow vehicle. If you don't have a properly rated tow vehicle, the trailer stays where we place it and the dump bed can't be raised — it only dumps safely when hitched to a tow vehicle. We can't haul or dump your load, so the trailer must be empty when we come to pick it up. If it isn't ready for pickup when we arrive, late return charges apply until it is, plus a $50 return-trip fee for each extra trip (plus $3 per mile beyond 15 miles).
The $250 refundable deposit is an authorization hold on your credit or debit card, placed before the trailer is released — at pickup, or before we drop it off if you choose delivery. A hold sets the funds aside but isn't a charge. Our booking system automatically renews the hold every 7 days while your rental continues; if a renewal can't go through for any reason, the system charges the original $250 hold instead, and we refund it on the same terms. We release the hold (or refund the deposit) within 2 business days after we inspect the returned trailer, less any fees or damage charges, plus card-processing time. See the pricing page for the full list of fees.
A valid driver's license and proof of auto insurance that covers your tow vehicle and the trailer — you must be 25 or older — plus payment for the rental and a credit or debit card for the security deposit hold. We'll do a quick hookup walkthrough before you leave. If you chose delivery, have these ready when we arrive; we drop off the trailer once the license, insurance, and payment are settled.
Cancel at least 48 hours before your start time for a full refund and no charge. Cancellations with less than 48 hours' notice, and no-shows, are charged one daily rate, or the estimated rental charge if that's less. If you book less than 48 hours before your start time, you can cancel at no charge until the day of your start; cancellations on the day of your start are charged as above. Rescheduling isn't a cancellation: move your dates with at least 24 hours' notice at no charge, subject to availability. Reschedules with less than 24 hours' notice carry a $50 administrative fee. A card on file is required to confirm your reservation.
Just dump your load fully and give the bed a quick sweep. A $50 cleaning fee plus any applicable disposal fees applies if it comes back with dirt, debris, or any of your load left in it.
If you know you'll need it longer, ask before your return time — extensions need our approval by text or email and are billed at the regular rate. You get a 30-minute grace period: return the trailer within 30 minutes of your scheduled time and there's no late fee. If it's more than 30 minutes late, you're billed $35 per hour, counted from your scheduled return time and rounded up to the next full hour (41 minutes late is billed as 1 hour), up to one daily rate for each 24-hour period, plus a one-time $50 late administrative fee.
Weekends can book up quickly, so a few days' notice is a safe bet — but it's always worth asking about same-week availability.
Cash, card, or Venmo for rental charges, which are due before the trailer is released. The security deposit is a hold on a credit or debit card, so it can't be paid in cash or Venmo. A card on file is required to confirm your reservation, and we may charge it for cancellation or rescheduling fees and other amounts you owe under your rental agreement.
No. Our rates don't include South Carolina sales tax. It's added to rental charges and fees at the rate for the location where the trailer is delivered to you — our pickup location or your delivery address.
Hourly rentals are $35 per hour with a 4-hour minimum ($140), and hourly charges never exceed the daily rate ($175) for a 24-hour period. A day is 24 consecutive hours from your start time. The weekly rate ($595) covers 7 consecutive days and the 4-week rate ($1,595) covers 28 days.
You're responsible for loss of or damage to the trailer during your rental, whether or not it's your fault — not including normal wear and tear. You also need auto liability insurance on your tow vehicle that extends to the towed trailer, and many personal policies don't cover a rented trailer, so check yours before you rent. The details are in the rental terms on our pricing page.
Yes, with delivery. We drop the trailer off at your address and pick it up there when your rental ends. Without a properly rated tow vehicle, though, the trailer can't be moved and the dump bed can't be raised — the dump lift only works safely when the trailer is hitched to a tow vehicle. The trailer must also be empty when we pick it up, so without a tow vehicle you'd unload it by hand. If you'd like to use the dump feature, you'll need a tow vehicle rated for the trailer's full 9,990 lb GVWR.
