Plains Equipment Rentals Corp

20-ton excavator rental heading back from Jasper this week, thanks for the haul and photo Abe. We provide hassle-free equipment rentals anywhere in Western Canada.

The cheapest rate on the quote is rarely the cheapest rental.

We had a contractor call us last fall, near the end of his project, to tell us what a nightmare it had been. He'd gone with a lower rate somewhere else, the machine was trash, the support a joke, and the downtime cost him far more than he ever saved on the rate. By the time we spoke, the job was nearly done and the damage was done with it, because it was a multiple-piece fleet that couldn't be sourced on short notice.

It's not apples to apples when comparing rates and sizes of machines. Two quotes can carry different rates and stand for completely different machines, terms, and support behind them. A low rate can hide capped hours, padded delivery, an old high-hour shaky unit, or nobody picking up the phone when it breaks down.

Before you book the cheapest one, ask the year and hours on the machine, what's included, the all-in delivered cost, and what happens when it goes down. Compare the total cost of the rental, not the rate on the page.

Full breakdown on the site: what a low rate hides, and how to compare two quotes properly.
