Equipment Protection Plan

As an added service we offer an Equipment Protection Plan. This covers the rental equipment against Accidental Damage. It is an additional percentage of the gross rental. This does not cover misuse, loss of any kind, tire damage, theft, or neglect. Bunce Rental retains the right to refuse equipment protection plan coverage. The Equipment Protection Plan is not insurance.

Per our insurance company's policy, the purchase of the Equipment Protection Plan is required on high liability items which include trailers, items rented with one of our trailers, items mounted to a trailer set-up, and trucks.

Flat Tires, Tracks, & Hydraulic Lines
Before operating rental equipment, check the jobsite for debris or terrain that could cause damage to tires, tracks, or hydraulic lines. In most instances, damage to tires, tracks, or hydraulic lines is caused by conditions on the job site and as such payment for the repairs is considered the responsbility of the customer. In the event of a flat tire, the customer can call a tire repair company of their choice or Bunce Rental can call a tire repair company on behalf of the customer.
Operating Condition of Equipment

In the event that the equipment you've rented is not operating as it should or has a problem, please contact the location you rented the equipment from immediately.

Continuing to run equipment in such a manner can cause excess wear, tear, and damage and result in extra time spent attempting to complete your project. Please help us take care of our equipment and help you get your project done properly.

If you do not call to inform us of the problem with the equipment and wait to inform us when the you return the equipment when it is scheduled to be due, you may be held responsible for the full cost of the rental.

Fuels & Merchandise
All fuels (gas, diesel, propane, kerosene) and merchandise are available at an additional charge.
Identification & Insurance

Bunce Rental requires identification on all rentals as follows:
1. Valid Washington state driver's license.
2. Year, make and license of renter's vehicle.
3. Military ID or Washington state ID card

Proof of insurance may be required on specific items to be rented.

Reservations

It is always a good idea to reserve the rental item in advance. All reservations will be held for 30 minutes. Some reservations require a deposit. Some seasonal items may only be available to reserve at the store's opening time.

All locations may not have all rental items in stock. Most can be transferred to the nearest location for your convenience with and advance reservation and deposit.

Past Due
Rented equipment is considered past due if not returned by the due date and time listed on the rental contract.
Rental Days & Prices

A rental day is 24 hours, except on heavy equipment. Equipment is charged for time out, not time used. Overtime will be charged at the National Rate of one-sixth the daily rate per each hour overtime unless otherwise instructed. Heavy equipment allows 8 hours maximum meter time per 24 hour day or 40 hours maximum per week is allowed. Over these limits will be prorated.

Please email or call the closest location for current rental prices. All prices are subject to change without notice.
