FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - RENTAL
DO YOU PROVIDE ANY INSURANCE FOR PURCHASE?
- Ronson Equipment does not have any insurance available for purchase. Insurance coverage for the machine must be provided by your own insurance company.
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A COMMERCIAL BUSINESS INSURANCE POLICY, CAN I STILL RENT THE MACHINE?
- Unfortunately, for our own insurance reasons, we can only accept a commercial business insurance policy, as we only rent commercially. However, we may be able to refer you somewhere that is able to accept a homeowner insurance policy for equipment rental.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I RETURN THE MACHINE EARLY?
- In most cases, if the machine is returned early, we will issue a credit to your account. No credit will be issued until machine hours and condition of the machine are confirmed.
IF I ONLY NEED THE MACHINE MOVED DOWN THE STREET, WILL I STILL BE CHARGED TWO HOURS FOR DELIVERY?
- Yes, regardless of where the machine is being delivered, there is a two hour minimum on all moves.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE MACHINE HAS A PROBLEM WHILE I AM RENTING IT?
- If the machine has a problem while it is in your possession, please call our office and ask for the service department. Ronson Equipment has a fleet of service trucks that are able to assist you on-site. Please keep in mind, if the issue was caused by negligence on your part, you are responsible for any parts/expenses that may be needed to properly repair the machine.
