About Mountain View, California

Mountain View sits in the heart of Silicon Valley, where commercial redevelopment, mixed-use infill and ongoing infrastructure upgrades along El Camino Real and Castro Street generate steady demand for construction equipment. Contractors working on tenant improvements, utility trenching or site prep around the North Bayshore area frequently need mini excavators and skid steers for tight-lot grading and demolition. Aerial lifts and scissor lifts are common on commercial and office projects throughout the city, particularly where low-rise structures require elevated access for façade, HVAC or electrical work. Residential contractors and homeowners in neighborhoods like Old Mountain View and Rex Manor turn to compact equipment for landscaping, drainage correction and debris removal. Dump trailers round out many smaller residential and light commercial jobs where haul-away is part of the scope. Big Rentals connects renters with local equipment owners so you can compare availability, specs and pricing before booking.

If you think you might need extra days, book them upfront. Last-minute extensions depend on availability and owner approval.

What is the Big Rentals damage protection policy?

Before operating rented equipment, contact your insurance provider to confirm whether your policy covers liability or damage claims related to the rental.

Eligible rentals booked through Big Rentals also include Basic Rental Protection at checkout. This added protection can help limit your financial responsibility for certain damage or theft events during the rental period.
