Most rental companies price their skid steers the same way regardless of your job. You get a flat weekly or monthly rate whether you’re running the machine hard every day or it sits idle half the time.
It’s like paying a full monthly retainer for a sub you only needed for two weeks. Seems manageable on one job. But across a quarter or a season? That’s real money walking out the door on a machine that’s sitting still.
And guess who’s pocketing that money? The rental company.
We don’t script our customers or dress things up. These are real contractors and crews talking about their experience working with Plains Equipment Rentals — honest words from people who count on reliable skid steers, fair pricing, and service that shows up when it should.
When you rent from Plains Equipment Rentals, this is the level of service you can expect.
Every month on a standard rate means:
You’re paying for hours the machine isn’t working
You’re burning budget that should go to your crew or your bottom line
You’re padding the pockets of a rental company that doesn’t care
