Question 1

How does renting from Big Rentals work?

Accepted Answer

Big Rentals is a marketplace that connects you with local trailer and equipment owners. Search by your city or zip code, compare listings with photos, specs and pricing, then book and pay online. Once checkout is complete, the owner shares pickup details. Pick up the rental, use it for your booking period and return it to the same location when you're done. The whole process runs through one platform — no shopping around or negotiating with multiple shops.

Question 2

What types of things can I rent in San Diego?

Accepted Answer

San Diego inventory depends on what local owners have listed, but Big Rentals supports the full range of trailer rentals — utility, flatbed, enclosed cargo, dump, car hauler, gooseneck, deckover, tilt deck and roll-off — plus a growing selection of construction and landscaping equipment. Search by your dates to see exactly what's bookable nearby with specs, photos and rates. If nothing matches what you need, submit a quote request and we'll check with local partners.

Question 3

How long can I rent equipment for?

Accepted Answer

There's no hard cap on rental duration. Most listings offer daily, weekly and monthly rates, with longer rentals typically priced lower per day. The initial rental period is paid in full at checkout, and any extension needs to be approved and paid before the original return time. If your timeline shifts mid-rental, contact the owner or Big Rentals support as soon as possible to request more time.

Question 4

What is the Big Rentals damage protection policy?

Accepted Answer

Eligible rentals booked through Big Rentals include Basic Rental Protection at checkout. This is a damage waiver — not insurance — that can help limit your financial responsibility for certain damage or theft events, with renter liability capped. Before towing a rented trailer, check whether your auto insurance covers liability and towing-related damage claims.
