About Ashland, Kentucky

Ashland sits at the confluence of the Big Sandy and Ohio rivers, and the surrounding Boyd County terrain — hilly, wooded and prone to grade changes — drives consistent demand for mini excavators and skid steers on everything from residential site prep to utility work along corridors like US-23 and KY-168. The area's legacy in steel, energy and chemicals means contractors regularly tackle maintenance, facility upgrades and industrial yard work that calls for aerial lifts and scissor lifts for elevated access. Residential projects in neighborhoods like Westwood and Central Park often involve slope grading, drainage work and debris removal where a dump trailer earns its keep. Smaller contractors and independent operators working the tri-state area — Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio — tend to need equipment on short timelines without long-term commitments. Big Rentals connects renters directly with local equipment owners so they can compare availability, specs and pricing in one place.

The initial rental period must be paid in full at booking. If you need more time, extensions can be requested before the rental period ends and require advance payment before they are approved.

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.
