How Do Daily, Weekly and Monthly Equipment Rental Rates Compare?
Rental yards discount longer rentals. As a rule of thumb, a weekly rate is about three to four daily rates and a 4-week rate about three weekly rates, so from about the fourth day a weekly booking is usually cheaper than paying day by day. Always compare the full total with delivery, waiver and fees.
