About Reno, Nevada

Reno's growth along South Virginia Street, the Midtown district and the expanding logistics corridor near Interstate 80 keeps contractors and owner-operators busy with grading, utility work and commercial buildout. Mini excavators and skid steers are workhorses for the excavation and site prep that comes with new warehouse construction east of the city and residential infill closer to the urban core. For projects involving structural steel, signage or mechanical systems at height, boom lifts and scissor lifts are routinely pulled by commercial crews working the downtown casino properties and the growing industrial parks near Sparks. Homeowners tackling landscaping, irrigation trenching or debris removal after demo work also find short-term equipment rentals practical in this high-desert climate where ground conditions vary by neighborhood. Big Rentals connects renters directly with local equipment owners so you can compare availability, specs and pricing before you commit.

How long can I rent equipment for?

There is no maximum rental duration. Daily, weekly, and monthly rates are available on most listings — longer rentals are priced at a lower per-day rate. 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.
